Today I’m featured on the Real Food Face Off along with Virginia at Living the Local Life. The Real Food Face Off is a gathering of “real food bloggers” and is hosted by Kitchen Stewardship. Twice a week 2 bloggers are featured together to share their thoughts on what real food is and share tips and tricks. Check out Kitchen Stewardship to visit with many great food bloggers!
Some questions and answers that didn’t go live:
1. If you only had energy for ONE make-from-scratch food, what would it be? Is your preference for taste or health? One thing that I prefer to buy is Chinese chicken balls! I have yet to find a good recipe for them so this is an occasional treat.
2. What’s your favorite real/traditional food? I have two favorites. My husbands pizza with garlic bread and salad. Second is chicken and dumplings.
3. If you had only $20 to spend in a week on real food, what would you buy and what would you make? If I only had $20 I would buy wheat berries (or flour), rice, beans, lard, butter, sugar, bananas, apples, celery, carrots and yeast. With these ingredients you could make many different breads and stir fry’s. Fruits would be saved for snacks.

Happy to have you as my real food face off partner today!

I’m so glad that I clicked over from Katie’s blog! I was featured a few weeks ago and have really enjoyed reading all of the different responses . . .
I’m enjoying digging into your blog! We are in the process of purchasing our first home, on acreage hopefully (still in the beginning stages) and building our own little homestead, garden and hopefully one day, some animals. I’m a novice gardener and have enjoyed reading some of your gardening posts (especially about potatoes! That hiller is genius!
Looking forward to reading more!
Best,
