I’m so excited because I’ve been selected as a 100 Days of Real Food Cookbook Ambassador! As a Cookbook Ambassador I received an advance copy (available October 25) of Lisa Leake’s new cookbook Fast & Fabulous and had the chance to try out some of her new recipes! Yum!!
Live Green – Eat Real Food
Not only am I excited to promote a great cookbook since I have been following Lisa and 100 Days of Real Food for years but I’m also excited because eating real food is a great way to practice environmentally friendly habits!
Eating real, organic foods:
- reduces the need to purchase products in packaging which in turn creates less waste
- supports sustainable farming methods which eliminate the use of harmful chemicals or pesticides
- promotes shopping at local famer’s markets so food travels a shorter distance to get to you which uses less fuel (aka natural resources).
Enough about why I’m so excited and onto a yummy recipe!
