Real Life Delicious
Real food is worth the trouble—and it's really not that much trouble.
Real Life Delicious started as a way for me to write about my passion for real food and making it easier to feed our families without resorting to processed, packaged foods.

This is more of a discovery than a recipe. Trust me, it's a whole new level of coconut heaven. And remember: Coconut = GOOD fat (i.e. it doesn't make you fat.)

Some exciting news about my cooking classes (hint: it involves the price)!
Cooking Class Offerings Going forward, instead of scheduling classes when it's convenient for me and hoping the date and time work for you, I'm going to offer them when you can come (what a concept).
