Are You Eating Fake Food?

Our society has grown up oblivious to what we consume as “food” for too long.  Kelly the Kitchen Kop has made it her life’s work to help others transition away from fake, and into real food. It’s difficult when the largest food providers in our country take shortcuts for profit and pay a lot for confusing advertising to keep us buying the junk.  Kelly recognizes this issue and is here to help us!

Part one of Real Food For Rookies is all about what to look for and what to avoid when buying food.  It includes tips on label reading and a breakdown of important facts on all the major food groups, as well as, beverages and baby food!  Kelly helps us navigate a grocery store like a pro and gives great suggestions on other places to purchase real foods, like farmers markets!

 No More Excuses!

Part two of Real Food For Rookies is what people nowadays really need to read.  Kelly breaks down every excuse I can think of, and have used, as to why eating real can be so difficult.  She takes each excuse and counteracts it with very helpful advice and suggestions.  One major issue she addresses is  how to transition to real food after years of consuming additives, chemicals and GMOs that could become addicting.

Many people do not like the taste of real food when first exposed, and it takes some work to get them to even try it.  With her tips on how to transition “real food rookies”, and her section of recipes, Kelly helps us create delicious real food meals and desserts that everyone will love!  Real Food for Rookies educates us on why we should all be eating Real Food!
