10 day real food pledge

I have been wanting to do a 10 day real food challenge for a while now. I was hoping some friends would join in but I think they were just too intimated. It can be a lot for some people. BUT with the help of 100 Days Of Real Food, I have managed to make a 10 day plan and we started our challenge today.

Please pardon my bad HTML usage, its been quite a while. LOL.

Anyways that is our complete menu. The girls also get a 4oz cup of milk at breakfast, but only water throughout the day with the exception of Emma who receive coconut water during our long days outside in the darn desert heat. I also have a cup of unsweetened tea in the morning and hubs is sweetening his coffee with honey. I will also be working on a grocery list to accompany this as well, if you are interested and would like a copy please feel free to comment with your email, or send me a message on fb.

Also we had to make one exception for this challenge, the tortillas. Our local commissary only carried a variety with 8 ingredients rather than the rule of 5, and I don't have a tortilla press, so that was my cheat moment.

All recipes for foods with an * can be found on the Facebook Page for 100 Days Of Real Food on their meal plans!



And Just for kicks a quick recipe!!

Strawberry Butter:

1 Stick cold butter
3-5 Strawberries cut in to 4s
1/2-1 Tablespoon honey

Toss in a blender and let it go until smooth.

It took mine about 6-7 minutes to finally get that smooth consistency.
