    I loved all of these posts. One of my favorites that’s not on here is the classroom snack ideas. We are so programmed to bring cupcakes and sweet treats into the classrooms. I love creating a real food movement to get our kids excited about spending time with people and celebrating in other ways that does not involve highly processed sweet treats. I fell off the clean eating a little bit over the holidays, but I am getting back on track along with a green smoothie challenge. Thank you for all of your real food inspiration for busy moms like me! Here’s the free challenge I’m doing: http://www.simplegreensmoothies.com/30-day-challenge

    I’ll enjoy revisiting some of these helpful posts!

    I’m surprised that the “Food Babe Investigates Subway” post got more traffic than the “Food Babe Investigates Chick-Fil-A” post. The Chick-Fil-A post (and comments) was a memorable read for me. :)

    Four out of five of those recipes have become regulars in my kitchen! The only reason why I haven’t used the chicken nugget recipe is because I already have one of my own that I’ve been using for a while and am happy with. Thank you for your blog and inspiration!

    Cooking a whole chicken in the crockpot has been a big hit in our house this year. We are local CSA members and get quite a few whole, smallish chickens throught the year; when the grill’s under snow in the back yard, this has become our go-to cooking method. I’ve even made it for friends (including one who has Celiac) and it’s always a hit. It’s such a delicious and healthy meal, and I’m now addicted to making my own stock with the leftover bones and using that to add tremendous flavor to all sorts of dishes. Thanks for those two great recipes!

    I love all your blog posts too. I particularly like how you continually encourage small changes how the overall tone is non-judgmental. It all just feels, appropriately, very real. Keep up the good work!

    Lisa, I have a request for a blog post. My husband and I aspire to eat vegetarian at least once or more per week. But it is really hard to find “meals” that are vegetarian, especially ones that don’t include weird ingredients that aren’t processed. So it seems like I end up making a meal of “sides” which isn’t much fun. I know you’ve mentioned eating vegetarian on days before, would you mind sharing some ideas of how to make vegetarian/vegan a filling complete meal? Thanks!

      Hi there! Yes, we do eat vegetarian quite a bit and I think it can help if you can sort of “replace” what would be the meat in a dish with something vegetarian. So for example for tacos use beans instead of ground meat, in spaghetti use mushrooms instead of ground meat, in fajitas use bell peppers instead of meat, in soups add more veggies instead of meat. We are so trained to work around a main dish meat item…so you are not alone in struggling to get away from that thought process! Also, FYI – Here is my vegetarian meal category link although desserts, sides, and other stuff is included: https://www.100daysofrealfood.com/category/recipes/vegetarian-dishes/

    I’ve been looking over all your school lunch ideas & love them. I don’t have small kids anymore, though, & both kids are off at school. I’ve wanted to make the real food change myself though (easy since it’s just me), but I’m also the 6 small meal a day eater. I get the most energy from a protein, whole-gran and fruit or veggie each meal. The lunches for your girls are perfectly sized for my situation & I’m excited to try them in the ziploc lunch containers to take to work. Thanks!!!

    HI Amber. I don’t think we have developed an opinion on nutritional yeast. :). Lisa usually buys whole wheat pita pockets from Trader Joe’s (their brand). ~Amy
