  2. This was delicious. I have tried many different recipes for making chicken thighs in the slow cooker, but never feel compelled to make any of them a second time. This is one that I would definitely make again. Based on other comments, I doubled the spices and added turmeric. It was just the right amount for our palettes. I didn’t have dried apricots, so left those out, but still delicious.

5 Minute Fudge Brownies from 100 Days of #RealFood
Okay, just to be clear up front - it takes only 5 minutes to stir up the batter for these homemade brownies, but of course a little longer than that to actually bake them! But as I was making this batch I was thinking how it really doesn't take much longer to make brownies from scratch than it does to add some eggs and other stuff to one of these lovely boxes of brownie mix pictured down below.

baby in high chair
Recently the term “Baby Led Weaning” (BLW) was introduced to us here at 100 Days of Real Food, a term that, believe it or not, none of us had heard of before. Our small team collectively has 11 kids (4 of which are mine) and without a doubt, we are tuned into lots and lots of real food-related information. Yet none of us knew about or (thought we) had personally used Baby Led Weaning with our own children. We were encouraged by some readers to take a look into the philosophy… and so we did. Interested in learning about this method - and how it might help introduce baby to real food - we did a little research on the subject so that others, like us, who may not know the term or ideals, can become informed.

Buying organic (or not)
Despite the fact that we absolutely prefer and always try to buy organic…I really want to get one thing straight here. Just because something is organic does not automatically mean it is healthy and that you should eat it! There are still highly processed foods out there that just happen to be mad

#SloppyJoes from 100 Days of #RealFood
My poor daughter recently said to me, "Mom I keep reading all these books that talk about Sloppy Joes, and I've never had one before. Can you please make it so I can finally try it like everyone else??" Gosh, she is so deprived! Seriously though, if that's her biggest problem this week I will gladly take it. Not to mention it was a "problem" easily solved with this recipe below. And just for the record both kids went back for seconds. I hope your family enjoys it as much as mine did! :)

Chicken Stock from 100 Days of Real Food
Stocks (which are interchangeable with broths) are the base for many homemade soups and sauces. I used to always cook with store-bought chicken broth, but now there are several reasons why I prefer making it at home (using this recipe below that has been adapted from the Joy of Cooking). While it ta
