There are millions of blogs out there so last month I asked my facebook fans what other “real food” blogs they follow (and possibly even write themselves). Some of these blogs aren’t solely about real food, but they’re obviously doing something right to be inspiring others. So without further ado…here’s the list! And feel free to share any others in the comments below.

Great list! I’m surprised Heavenly Homemakers didn’t get mentioned. And my FAVORITE real food blog, with several AMAZING ebooks is Modern Alternative Mama.
Me too! I love both of those! I read them both religiously.
Thank you for the great list! Now I’ll never get up from the computer-so much to read. I love it.
Great list thanks… There there is another too, although it is not just about food, when it talks food (at least once a week) it is always about REAL FOOD. SeeYourToes.com (shameless plug)
I post at everydayrealfood.com, though not on a regular schedule, just now and then when I have time.
I post at http://lcrfood.blogspot.com/ about cooking for my toddler who has severe egg and nut allergies (and moderate allergies to most seeds). I try to use mostly real food, but if anyone has any experience with severe allergies or advice on eating well-balanced diets without eggs and nuts I would love the input!
I read another blog called “The Elliot Homestead”. It isn’t just real food but other homemade products as well. I love it!
Great list. One of my favourites is “Oh She Glows”
Another good one… http://www.vintageremedies.com/home/
She’s doing a series called 8 weeks of Real Foods. Very good thorough information.
You can sign up for free under the events tab.
Erin at 5dollardinners.com is excellent. Her meals are nutritious and so yummy!
I LOVE her books. We have the dinner book and I keep checking the breakfast and lunch book out from the library.
Shameless plug for my own…http://www.thishomemadelife.com
I love Simple Bites & Simple Organic. I’m excited to check out the other blogs over the weekend. Thanks for sharing.
Check out Dee McCaffery’s website – http://www.processedfreeamerica.org/ She has cookbooks available – processed free recipes. Her site also has short but very informative podcast about nutrition and living processed free.
This is great!! Im gonna have a lot of good reading material. Thanks for compiling!!
Holy moly! That’s quite a list, thank you! Stumbling this, it’s fantastic!
Word of Wisdom Living by Skip Hellewell is fantastic and is where I got my start on this better, whole foods journey. I highly recommend it.
What? No Cheeseslave or Kelly the Kitchen Kop? Talk about two women who know their real food stuff!
I love the list! I also frequent Heavenly Homemakers, Frugal Granola.
Thanks Lisa, you are my fave – but I also love reading Heavenly Homemakers as well as deliciously organic. Can’t wait to check out the rest of these on this list!
Like Alison, I will do a shameless plug for my blog as well. http://feedingmytribe.wordpress.com
I am the mom of four 6 yr olds and my blog is about cooking for our family. Today’s post is for a roasted tomato soup.
These are great sites, thanks so much for sharing!
I write with my mom over at lmld.org. love finding replacement recipes for canned or boxed foods.
Another great blog, although she doesn’t blog every day, is 365 Days of Kale (http://www.365daysofkale.com/ ) Diana Dyer is a nutritionist who decided to change her diet to real foods after three bouts of cancer. She writes about nutrition, her organic farm (she and her husband grow about 60 varieties of garlic which she sells at the local market), and has some fabulous recipes – the garlic sweet potato kale soup is to die for!
I agree with heavenly homemakers! soooo many great recipes!
An excellent site is thepoorganiclife.com – A refreshing and funny take on how to eat whole foods on a budget, and beautiful posts on giving. Plus, Katrina is hilarious and down to earth!
That Laura Dickerman gal has to say those things because she is my sister. BUT if you want guilt-free real food advice and gentle nudging to give all your money away, The Poorganic Life might be worth checking out. ;)
Another vote for The Poorganic Life. Karine is not my sister, but a dear friend who writes a great blog!
Thank you for this! It’s so nice to be able to add some new-to-me blogs to my reader :D
I post real food recipes on my blog – Food Doodles – with the occasional not-so-real food treats thrown in :)
Thanks for including http://www.FreshStartNutrition.com in the list (I know there are SO many!), as well as for ALL you’re doing to get the real food message out there!
Another great whole food site I use a lot is Healing Cuisine (http://www.healingcuisinebyelise.com). Might be something you’d like? She also recommends cutting out the processed foods and gives tips on making the switch for the family. Good recipes too!
I’m a professional organizer, but do a series on my blog called “Food Geek Friday.” It’s about 95% real food recipes as well as cocktail recipes and the occasional rant on industrial food. http://www.fabulousorganization.wordpress.com.
Hands down:
http://deliciouslyorganic.net/
Carrie Vitt is a master at cooking whole grain and truly from scratch. I’ve yet to make ONE yucky thing or me pretending it tastes good. Simply phenomenal.
Thank you for adding me to your blogroll. I am honored, really!
Great list! But I can’t imagine The Healthy Foodie (thehealthyfoodie.net) not being on here. All her recipes are super healthy, most definitely “real food” and the recipes are delicious! She’s like a real food wizard.
THIS IS SO WONDERFUL. I do so much searching on the web for my weekly meal plan lineup. I get frustrated by how many recipes are included in posts that have processed foods, unrefined sugar and other ingredients which the body does not appreciate. This list gives me so many great sites to visit and learn about. Thanks so much. Love what you do as a blogger but also a Mom.
I as just thinking earlier this week that I wished there was something like this list! Thank you for posting!
Amazing list! But I don’t think it will be complete until you add http://thepoorganiclife.com. AMAZING site!!
Thank you SOOOOOOOOOOOOO much for including my site on your list!!! I am so honored! It really made my whole weekend! I am so excited about having new people to help get healthier and happier!!! Your blog here looks SO AMAZING — I want to read it “cover to cover” so to speak!! Your girls are darling, and you look like such a nice family! Oh, and to add to your wonderful collection is an awesome dessert site: http://www.chocolatecoveredkatie.com She is a doll, super talented and creative!! I know you’ll love it!
‘TheHealthyHomeEconomist’ will complete this great list.
LOVE this list! So wonderful to see real food represented int he “foodie family”. It’s my passion!
Would love you to come visit my kitchen as well-
“Back to the Kitchen: Healthy Living with Real Food” on Facebook:

or my website: https://nancynewcomer.com
Thank you–happy cooking!
Nancy Newcomer
You HAVE to add DianasaurDishes.com she cooks amazing healthy food from scratch on a tight budget and teaches free classes to people like me on how to cook real food from the food bank and save money on food. I never even knew I could afford real food until I took her class. this is a great list I’m excited to find more food bloggers to follow.
http://www.healthygreenkitchen.com/
Winnie is great :)
Oh, my goodness! What a fantastic list! I read several of these already, but it’s great to know of a few more.
Here’s also a shameless plug for my own blog – Nourishing Joy. At it’s heart, it’s a real food blog, but I also write about sustainable living, natural homemaking, joyful parenting, and the like. :)
Thanks again, both for your great blog and a great post!
Kresha
Thank you, thank you for making this list!! Always looking ofr other bloggers that eat they way our family does!! Here’s my link http://www.biglifelittlegarden.blogspot.com
Danielle
This is a great list. I have to agree with some of the other mentions in the comments. Naturally Knocked Up is about fertility, but based on real foods. Donielle is a great resource. Another resourceful lady is JoAnna at Actual Organics. I do blog about real food, once I get back into the swing of blogging regularly. Great list and great addons in the comments!
Great list! I read many of these and will be checking out others in the comments. My blog is about overall wellness, but I also discuss nutrition, and whole foods is definitely key for my family.
Thanks for posting all these additional resources. Now I also have much to read and catch up on to be in the know on the subject of Real Food. Another blog I particularly enjoy is A Year of Slow Cooking – http://crockpot365.blogspot.com/
It is not 100% completely “real” food, but mostly it is (or is easily adaptable) – and tells you how to make yoghurt in your crockpot. She has been doing this for almost 4 years, and I believe has a couple of cookbooks in print as well.
Wanted to add, she doesn’t use any “cream-of” soups in her recipes, so that instantly makes it more “real food” accessible.
Definitely check out A Life Unprocessed at http://alifeunprocessed.blogspot.com/
Mellow posts very interesting and completely organic and non-processed recipes as well as on topics such as fermentation, making homemade kitty litter, and grinding grains for flour.
Wow – what a fantastic list, I can’t wait to check out all the ones I don’t know already! Some of the links shared in comments are great too.
I’ve been (mostly) unprocessed for over a year and have never felt better. I share my recipes and experiences at 84thand3rd.com, stop over and say hi if you have a chance! Yet another shameless plug ;D
Great list of food blogs, they are ones I haven’t heard of before and will be checking these out. Like others I’m going to unashamedly give my blog a bit of a plug; its a gluten free blog, that provides information, recipes, restaurant reviews, and also looks at the link between autism and gf and caesin free diet. I love using fresh foods, to create, delicious gf meals. You know when you have created a good gf meal, when you get so many compliments and people don’t even know the food is gluten free! My blog is http://[email protected]
I hope any new readers, coeliac, gluten intolerant or people who just want to make a lifestyle change, will find this blog helpful.
I also have to give JJ and http://www.84thand3rd.com, a plug, she produces some amazing recipes and is also very willing to help others, particularly those starting out in the food blogging word.
Another great blog is http://www.ledelicieux.com, she has a great range of vegatarian recipes. A blog to check out.
Thanks again for the list and hope that people enjoy reading my blog, particularly coeliacs and gluten intolerant people. Also I hope you enjoy the other blogs I have mentioned.
I have lots of reading ahead of me checking out these blogs!
weelicious.com
Not to toot my own horn, but in my blog http://chattavore.com, I try to post mostly real food recipes. I do occasionly include processed foods if they are absolutely necessary for authenticity. I also review local restaurants, so it’s a locavore sort of thing too :)
Gracious Pantry is a fabulous resource. http://www.graciouspantry.com And and a friend and I, in the Raleigh area, recently started a Real Food blog, Grab Your Greens. http://www.grabyourgreens.blogspot.com
Love this list you’ve compiled!
Hi Lisa! This is such a great round-up of whole food/real food blogs. Thanks so much for including Family Fresh Cooking :) xo
Great! I just added a ton of great new writers to my reader! Thanks!
I blog gluten, dairy, and soy free! We’re working our way (slowly, at times) toward more and more real food. I admittedly still use sugar in baking more often than not, things like that… but a work in progress is better than nothing, no?? :)
Hi ya Lisa thanks so much for your blog I love it. I’ve slowly been working my way through your 100 day challenge. I’ve noticed that you buy your organic foods through stores is there a local community source you could tap into? I live in Idaho and there are several farmer share programs, where you buy a share say Monday morning and get a basket Saturday, you don’t necessarily know what you’re going to get buy it is 50/50 fruits and veggies there is an organic option for 10 more so an organic basket is $25 it usually is quite a good size (not sure if this one is available in your area but it might be worth checking out http://www.BountifulBaskets.org) also how about checking out local farmers groups? I know there are several here that you can buy a seasonal share, just some ideas. Thanks again for your blog it is so helpful!!!!!
Yes, we have tried out a C.S.A. program through a local farm and we also go to our farmers’ market every single Saturday (bright and early!). I agree local is a great choice!
I recently re discovered Bountiful baskets in our area and am amazed every week what you can get for what you pay, organic produce, breads, coconut oil, etc…they keep adding to their list of things available. I’m glad we moved to an area that has one. And anyone is welcome to start their own pick up location, though I’m not that ambitious just yet!
Another great one, written by my friend Victoria, is http://www.greenplaterule.com!
What a great list – thank you for putting all of these folks together on one page! I also blog about real food at Maoomba.com. As someone with numerous food sensitivities, my focus in on real foods that are naturally gluten and dairy free. I’d love to be added to your list. Thanks!
this is definitely a great list of food blog list looking into.
What a great list! I will have to limit myself so that I don’t spend all night reading every blog. We, too, have our own blog, at mainstreethomestead.blogspot.com. We’re eating mostly Real, gardening, brewing, preserving, living on a budget, and raising two little babes.
I have been loving the blogs on this list that I’ve looked at so far. But when I got to this one – http://www.mommacooks.net/- I wondered if there was a problem.
You are right… the link isn’t correct as it is typed above. It should be http://www.mommacooks.net.
I was just talking to Melissa from Fresh 20 and she mentioned you & your site – I can’t believe this is the first time I’m finding out about you. I love what you’re about and definitely following you now. Happy Monday!
So glad you left a comment…I just checked out your site and your pictures are GORGEOUS! I am following you on facebook now so I can keep up with your blog.
I have 2 blogs, vegandipity.blogspot.com and my new one, Real Food (please) at pleasemakeitreal.blogspot.com. Please join us!
I’m just starting out, but check out greeniebeanie.net.
I love your site and what you promote! My blog focuses on real food, WHY to eat real food, as well as random posts about gardening and raising livestock (I keep chickens). But convincing parents to feed their kids real food is becoming more and more of my central mission. I would love to be added to this list, and would consider it a great honor!
Hey this is great! I’ve just started my own real food blog http://www.leapingzucchini.wordpress.com and it’s great to see so many people passionate about the same thing. There’s a lot of great content here!
What a great post, I have so many new blogs to check out :D I’m over at http://omnomally.com.
This coming year I’m setting up for lots of kitchen gardening, preserving, fermented foods and therefore lots more blog posts. So excited to see what everyone else is doing now and I have lots more blogs to subscribe to it seems!
I have a real food blog. I’ve been around for about 4 years. My blog is http://WholesomeMommy.com I am a blog about a REAL FAMILY {a busy one!} that cooks REAL FOOD {from scratch} and I keep it REAL SIMPLE {cause who has time for recipes with 15 ingredients that you have to go hunt for in some specialty shop?}.
Denise
blackgirlsguidetoweightloss.com is awesome. she talks about emotional eating and even has a clean eating bootcamp. not to mention she teaches you how to eat clean on the cheap.
Love the list. Thank you. I also blog about our conversion to real food over at http://www.realfoodonthetable.com. Would be honored if you could add me to the list.
I know I’m kind of late to the game but I love this site. http://beingfrugalbychoice.blogspot.com/
Wow! Thanks for this awesome list! I’m always looking for brilliant recipe ideas for inspiration, if nothing else. This is great!
My sons have a motley crew of food allergies and intolerances, and I blog about our experiences. Part of that is recipes; we are dairy, soy, wheat, egg, peanut and fructose free, so all of my recipes are pretty much real food with an allergy-free twist. If anyone needs those sort of recipes, please check out my blog: http://www.cradlerockingmama.com.
Thanks again for this list!
Thank you for the list, what a fantastic resource!
With my family’s switch to real, unprocessed food I have lost 65 pounds and have never felt better! I had so many people asking what I was doing that I started my blog to talk about it: http://www.thatswhatieat.com
Stop on by for recipes and weight loss tips using real food!

Has information about additives and preservatives in foods and which to avoid.
Just started blogging with the new year after a year’s journey following a plant based, vegan lifestyle. I invite you to join me.
I’ve just started my real food project-sharing menus, grocery lists, and recipes from my family kitchen. Many of my recipes are already real-food based, but now i am eliminating all highly processed foods.
http://Www.cuthechemicalscookbbo.com this is my real food blog here in Australia, please feel free to take a look. I have a cookbook for $2.99 that lists good foods to buy from the supermarket and recipes to cook as well as what additives and preservatives you should avoid and a plan for ridding chemicals out of your diet.
Sorry iPad did predictive text … The website is http://www.cutthechemicalscookbook.com or just google Cut the Chemicals Cookbook
100 days of real food inspired my husband and me to switch to eating real food, and it’s been SO great! After following a few other blogs about the same content, I decided to start my own. It’s called Bowl of Delicious! and it’s theme is “real food for busy people.” Both my husband and I have very demanding jobs and have discovered a lot of tricks to eating/cooking real food even with a hectic lifestyle.
I hope my blog can help other people make healthier choices amidst busy schedules. Please come by and visit at http://www.bowlofdelicious.com :-)
As a doctor, and having worked as a certified personal trainer, nutritional consultant, and dancer, eating a healthy, balanced diet should be easy for me, right?
Sadly, it’s not.
In fact, not long after starting residency early in 2013, despite the health advice I was giving my patients almost every day, my own physical condition was starting to unravel. I knew better, but my diet consisted of crammed down food cart grease-bombs and cupcakes left unguarded at the nurses’ station. I hadn’t exercised in months. My previously roomy scrubs were shrinking by the day! Like for many of you, demands on my time, energy, and schedule had made “living healthy†seem almost impossible. I HAD to make a change!
Unraveled Eats documents my attempt to overcome these obstacles and get back to eating what we all should–just simple, nutritious, unprocessed (and delicious!) food. It consists of photos and discussion of the choices I make each day. I hope my successes and failures, as well as tips and tricks I’ll share along the way, will encourage us all to live fuller, happier, and healthier lives–NO MATTER WHAT! Feel free to visit!

I’ve looked around at some of these other blogs but I think yours is the best, by far Lisa! Thanks for all of your research and info!! The only one I think you should list here also is Food Babe’s blog.
Thanks for sharing this! =)
Quite a few of those are not what you would count as real food. Lots of white sugar and white flour, etc.
My blog started out being about cutting out artificial sweeteners, and eating low sugar (I reversed my pre-diabetes) which led me to eat real foods.
Other good ones are Closetcooking.com and realfoodrealfitness.com.
I love to cook thanks for upload this.
Thanks for sharing these sites.
Shameless plug for my site, Keepin’ it Real.
We love to have new readers :)
Great list! I’ve just recently started my own real food blog at http://www.eatcoachlive.com
My journey to real food was really inspired and led by you and your amazing blog, so I’m just trying to spread the real food love a little farther. Thank you!
This is real foods and then some. Not only eliminating processed foods but including and learning to prepare real foods in a traditonal way.
