I’ve got a great potluck dish that will be a hit at your next holiday party. The recipe for this melted cheesy (and healthy – hello broccoli!) goodness couldn’t be any easier, so get ready to enjoy.

Cheesy Broccoli Dip on 100 Days of #RealFood

This is one you want to keep warm though when serving to a crowd so I treated myself to the cutest little slow cooker to do just that! And you can actually cook the dip in there too. Just check it out in the background below …it’s okay to buy appliances just because they’re cute, right? Merry early Christmas to me. :) I hope you have as much fun with this one as I did!

Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound broccoli
  • 1 quarter onion
  • 1 16-oz container sour cream
  • 4 ounces cream cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese grated
  • whole-grain crackers or pitas, for serving

Instructions

  1. Remove any large stems from the broccoli and mince it along with the onion. Place it in the bottom of a mini (1.5 quart) slow cooker. Add the sour cream, cream cheese, and cheddar on top and give it a good stir. Turn on to high and cook for a minimum of 1 hour (just long enough for the broccoli to soften and the cheeses to really melt) before serving.
    Alternatively you could bake this dip in the oven on 400 degrees F for about 25 minutes or until bubbly on top!

Recipe Notes

We recommend organic ingredients when feasible.
*To make gluten-free serve with gluten-free crackers.

  2. Looks delicious! I was just looking for a snack that doesn’t have sugar to serve at a little cookie decorating party. I wonder if I could sub the sour cream for Greek yogurt.? If I try, I’ll let you know how it works out :-p

Homemade Green Bean Casserole on 100 Days of #RealFood
It's totally possible to have a real food Thanksgiving dinner, and this recipe is here to help. I took the standard Green Bean Casserole recipe and "real foodinized" it for you, and the outcome is just delicious! I am not going to promise it will taste exactly like the original you've made in years past, because I think this one will actually be even better than before. It's really hard to beat wholesome, pure ingredients that are lovingly put together in a homemade dish like this one. And just for the record, this is now one of my 6-year-old's favorite vegetable recipes. She gave it a huge thumbs up and has already asked me to make it again! So holidays aside, this may very well be our new standard way to eat green beans.

Travel or Overnight Camp Easter Basket from 100 Days of #RealFood
Yes, I know.... Easter is only one day a year so "let kids be kids!" Well, guess what? I think kids can still be kids with sidewalk chalk and new games and bubbles and water balloons and craft supplies and even their very own gardening tools! There are way too many holidays and "special" occasions centered around junk food these days (which, frankly, isn't so great for our kids' health). So how about shifting the focus when you're the one in control?

To be honest, I never really liked lunch meat that much anyway so it was very easy for me to stop buying it. The main reason we gave it up was because (especially after watching Food, Inc.) we made a decision to only eat locally raised meats. And have you ever seen someone slicing off pieces of deli
