In case you missed "What is Real Food" here's a recap...

I know "Real" food may not seem like as much fun as the sugary, chemically, DIY recipes out there on the internet.  This is why REAL Food Friday is so unique.  This is the place to share your unprocessed, gmo-free, locally grown and/or fair trade posts. Here's a great reference from Food Myths.
 We are trying to make a difference 1 recipe at a time!

If your post includes items like *margarine, *granulated sugar, *food dye, packaged baking mixed with ingredients that you cannot pronounce (betty crocker, duncan hines, pillsbury, bisquik, general mills) then it WILL be deleted.

Time to link up your Real Food posts!  
The party runs from Thursday at 7pm EST through Monday at Noon.

Please follow your hosts and consider adding the Real Food Friday button.

Meatless Monday LinkUp & Pumpkin Recipe RoundUp

I Love Meatless Mondays!

It's been over 3 months since I cut out meat completely.  In the last 21 days or so I have eaten a few bits of chicken here and there (not gonna lie).  I have enjoyed not eating meat on a daily basis.  I feel great!

With Thanksgiving right around the corner I thought it would be nice to share a bunch of healthy PUMPKIN recipes
 

Southwestern Pumpkin Burger

Roasted Pumpkin Apple Soup

Pumpkin No-Bake Energy Bites

Pumpkin Spice Quinoa Breakfast Cookies

Skinny Pumpkin Granola

Joining me for Meatless Monday is Lydia @ Lydia's Flexitarian Kitchen 

and Christie @ A Kitchen Hoor's Adventure

Are you ready to PARTY?
This party is LIVE for an entire month!!!  Each week you'll have another chance to add your meatless creations to the party.
