Foodie Digest

So, here we are Foodies 14 days into our month of Unprocessed living and we are feeling great about the feedback, tweets and emails that we have been getting from you guys! So many people are telling us how much they are learning about food, how much they are experimenting and of course how much food they are eating! We encourage all of this, we encourage you to get in touch with your inner chef! One thing  we did want to address was a question via email that we got the other day. Alaina asked, " While grocery shopping i have noticed that a lot of the meats that i want to purchase all say all Natural, how do i tell them apart is there a particular brand that you use" That was a good question one that we definitely wanted to address. What you will see a lot of times in the grocery stores are food packaging that say. " All Natural" and this is because people are paying more attention to the foods that they are eating like never before and in an effort in maximize profits while selling us all "false hopes" they label theses foods without any consequences since the " All Natural" term is unregulated. What we would suggest is searching for your local meat whole sales, like a farmers market that also sells meat or a slaughter house. We suggest these people first because we always want to support our local farmers after having a clear understanding of their practices. A for sure place is a Whole Foods store, this company is strict about the items that they allow to be sold within their company. You can be sure that anything that you get from them will be fresh and in it's whole or natural state.We encourage you all to be diligent, investigative and very open to the new foods that you will discover. We don't have long to go so let's continue to strive to live, cook and of course eat better daily! We will see you all Tuesday for our weekly live twitter chat! #NGFChalleneg,#AllNatural, #Realfood

Foodcipe-Sausage Stir fry

In the spirit of our 31 days of unprocessed foods, i chose to use this recipe as a kick off. I recognize that in today's day and age people have little to no time to sit back and make ginormous meals, especially during a busy week. This recipe is soo very quick and easy and it consist of ingredients that most people have sitting in their fridge or cabinets.You can very well substitute the thin stir fry noodles for something a little more to your liking. Aim for 100% whole grain noodles to stay in line with ouuor goal.

2 chopped green peppers

2 chopped red onions
