    You are the only blog that I follow on a daily basis. You are like a goddess to me because you inspire me to help my family be healthier. My only suggestion, wear gloves next time you have to touch a chicken on live TV! That was hilarious! Love you & your blog so much!

    Have you ever tried using examination gloves? A box of 100 pairs is fairly cheap and you can peacefully toss them afterwards.

      That's an idea, but I could still "feel" the chicken and all it's parts through the gloves. Wouldn't be thick enough coverage to help!

    HA you are just the same as me with the chicken...I always make my husband throw it in the crockpot! We have been eating real food for one year and loving it. I actually just got to give a talk about it to a local group of moms! Congrats on all your success!!!

    Good job Lisa. You are so brave! I'd be terrified to be on tv! I don't like handling the chicken either! I always end up in gloves; I'm pretty ridiculous. I love the crock pot chicken!

    Whoever writes the captioning for the show needs some help. Did you see what it said when you were talking about adding the paprika? Too funny!

    great segment Lisa! I am the same way with the chicken when I do that recipe. Funny how we can eat it no problem though!
    Thanks for all you do, my family and I are close to our 1 year real food anniversary thanks to your inspiration :)
