It’s really hard to even think about starting a new way of eating by avoiding convenience and pre-packaged meals. I don’t eat 100% “real” food and probably never will. However, I try to balance my diet with as many healthy, whole foods as I can. So, I’ve compiled a list of my favorite resources for eating more real foods.
1. 5 Easy Steps to Start Eating Real Food
(This is my blog post, but I wholeheartedly believe in baby steps such as these! This post includes 5 small adjustments to make to start your real food journey.)
2. Real Food for the Real Homemaker
I love this ebook. It’s full of great information, practical advice, yet balance at the same time. It includes some yummy recipes too!
3. Real Food on a Real Budget
This ebook is full of tips to save money while feeding your family wholesome, nutritious meals. It’s really helpful because eating real food can become quite expensive if you’re not careful!
4. Heavenly Homemakers
Laura has tons of recipes, e-books, and an e-course to make real food managable. One of my favorites is her book “Healthy Make-Ahead Meals and Snacks.” It has some awesome healthy freezer recipes!
5. My Healthy and Whole Foods Pinterest Board
This is where I pin all my healthy and clean eating finds from around the web.
6. EMeals Clean Eating Menu Plan
If you want all the planning done for you, the emeals clean eating plan with deliver a menu and shopping list right to your email inbox every week! (Check out my post on their Salsa Chicken recipe for an example)

Hey, I’m stopping over from iBloom. I’ve bookmarked this page so I can visit the links later, but thanks for posting some great tips. Hubby and I are moving to a more paleo diet starting on Aug. 1. I need all the help I can get!
Thanks for stopping by from iBloom! Best of luck with starting a more paleo diet – I haven’t been brave enough to try that out yet 🙂

The foods were really a lot of fun, and would work well for the right amount of vitamins for the body.
This is a great list! I wish they give me some good inspiration and ideas to let go of packaged food and prepare healthy food with fresh ingredients at home.
You made a very nice post above. I hope you will post more beautiful later. I have really benefited from seeing your post and have found many examples.
This is a big thing for moms who have no time to consider for small things.
