Do you know what real food is? With all of the highly processed, dangerous foods on the grocery store shelves today, it's hard to know what's real and what's not real anymore. Dr. Josh Axe's cookbook, The Real Food Diet, strives to teach people how to eat healthy, real food with approachable recipes, including soups/stews, salads, main courses, side dishes, smoothies and desserts.
Dr. Josh Axe is a physician, speaker and radio show host - and was even named one of Nashville, Tenn.'s Most Beautiful People in 2010 (how could I not mention that?). His hardcover cookbook contains color photos of almost every recipe, plus over 50 pages on advanced nutrition, cooking, and even shopping tips. Most of the recipes also include icons to show if they're good for your immune system, a post-workout snack/meal, inflammation/arthritis pain, low energy and more.
Recipes that I am dying to make in this book: Lori's Famous Banana Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies, Greek Style Lamb & Quinoa, and Pumpkin Blueberry Pancakes.

Wow he IS beautiful! I'd love to win this cookbook to look at Dr Axe every day...I mean to cook real food! Real food, to me, is tasty, creative, hearty, nutritious, and keeps me full for a couple hours.
ReplyDeleteI'll go the Michael Pollan route and say that real food is something that our great-grandmothers will still recognize! It's whole, preservative-free foods that keep us fueled, and also taste clean and simple.
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway! It means energy, happiness, and long life to me! Enjoy!
ReplyDelete"Real food" means anything I wouldn't be embarrassed to tell my mom I ate as a meal. So popcorn and box wine don't count as "real food". Neither does a can of frosting. :-)
ReplyDeleteGreek style Lamb and Quinoa sounds amazing! I've been on a huge quinoa kick lately. It's just so easy to make and soooo flippin' good.
ReplyDeletewhole foods are real foods!! if you can't read the ingredients- put it back :) over 3/4 of your cart at the grocery store should be from the produce section (organic produce I might add :) ) and if you ask me, organic red wine counts too!!
ReplyDeleteOrganic ~ GMO FREE ~ Foods!

Real food means you can taste the veggies and the ingredients! please please please!! ;)
ReplyDeleteReal food to me is unprocessed as close to its orginal form as possible! One can't go wrong eating like that! I am a vegetarian but my DH isn't, so I am sure there would be some recipes for us both in the book :O)
