How To Find Your Real Food Style

Are you intimidated by all the crazy sounding dishes on your favorite real food websites? Kefir? Liver? Oysters? It’s easy to get the impression that seeking new things to try is a major part of adopting a real food lifestyle, but this just isn’t so. Copying someone else’s style doesn’t really work out.

The Best of 2012: Food Renegade’s Year in Review

As one day slips into another, it’s hard to remember that any individual day can mark milestones. But days are all about remembrance. We use them to mark the monumental, to build a cairn in our mind’s eye. You remember the day you named your son, the first time you held your daughter in your arms, the moment your loved one journeyed from life into death. You celebrate anniversaries, holy days, and new years.Tomorrow marks a new year. Before I begin it, I want to be properly thankful for what has passed. Thus, I am sharing with you The Best of 2012, a series of awards acknowledging this year’s milestones for Food Renegade. Hope you enjoy!

Homemade Graham Crackers — Make Real Food Challenge

Graham Crackers. They bring to mind after school snacks, campfires and marshmallows, and sibling rivalry. When I started opting to only eat traditionally-prepared grains, I said goodbye to Graham Crackers along with many other convenient treats. But why?
