I am moving to a new address (on the internet, that is)!  I have been tirelessly working on my new site and I think I am ready to go on and make the transition. Luckily, I haven't had the blog long enough for it to be a huge ordeal. I have a few more details to iron out, but hopefully everything will go smoothly. This will be my last post from yestorealfood.blogspot.com. My new website

Who doesn't love protein bars? Their convenient, delicious, and an easy way to get more protein into your diet. They're also good for you, right? Well...not always! There are some really good ones out there, but many of the protein bars you see lining the grocery store shelves are basically glorified candy bars. They are loaded down with extra sugar, and most of the time, not the natural kind.

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!!!! As families across the country prepare to celebrate America's independence from Great Britain, with parades, fireworks, and barbecues, I am once again reminded of how great this country really is. Political views and opinions aside,  I am so proud to be an American and my prayer is that God will bless this nation beyond measure in the years to come. Alright...moving

 Who doesn't love trail mix? I mean it's delicious, it's tasty, it's healthy, extremely portable for people on-the-go, and full of good-for-you stuff! It's also a great snack for the kids on those long summer drives to the beach (I'm counting down the days)!! However, I also know that most store-bought mixes are loaded down with extra sugar and salt. So, why not try making a batch of

I start off with good intentions! I see a bag of mixed greens on the shelf and I grab it and throw it in the cart as my mind races with all the wonderful warm dishes I can make with it. I must confess...I do not like raw mixed greens, but add a little garlic and heat them up on the stove! Oh my goodness...love 'em! However, as the days pass, so do my good intentions, and the bag ends up in the

BROWNIE CAKE with chocolate fudge frosting (shhhh...don't tell them it's made with chickpeas) So, I've been wanting to share this recipe for Chocolate Brownie Cake. This recipe was adapted from another source. There is also a funny story that goes along with this (my only regret is that I didn't take a picture to post along with it)! Oh well, there's always "next time," and I'm

I don't know about you, but I get tired of eating the same old thing for lunch day after day. I am usually eating on the go, but when I am home, and I have time to put something together, I want something different. Today, I was craving a quesadilla. I LOVE quesadillas!! If I go out to a restaurant and they have quesadillas on the menu, that's usually what I order. I'm pretty boring.

HOW TO CRACK OPEN A COCONUT (for Clean Almond Joy Bites) We have had a coconut sitting on the counter for about a week now, so today my kids talked me into helping them crack it open. This was one stubborn coconut!!  I don't know if you've ever cracked one open, but this was a first for me. I eat lots of coconut, but I've never used the water and meat from a fresh one. We
