About Real Food with Dana

Welcome to Real Food with Dana, where we talk no-BS nutrition science, real (delicious) food, and breaking the diet cycle. Glad to have you here!

Let’s talk about food (it’s my favorite) Recipe development and content creation is where I started this blog over five years ago, when I was struggling with the whole nine yards of health issues. I started making all sorts of different allergen-friendly recipes that would ease my stomach and hormonal issues, and as a result, I had to learn to get really creative in the kitchen. Now, even though I have less dietary restrictions, I’m still creating and sharing totally gluten-free, real food recipes that taste and make you feel really freaking awesome…

…with a healthy side of sarcasm and the occasional pop culture movie reference, of course. I’m not your run-of-the-mill, by the textbook (read: boring) nutritionist, nor is my teaching cut and dry. I believe nutrition, recipes and cooking should be something approachable and fun, not intimidating, and I achieve that by making people laugh while I’m teaching them. And that you don’t have to diet your whole life to feel good about yourself. Here, there is no morality around food. There are no “good” and “bad” foods. We focus on abundance, rather than restriction (even if you have an autoimmune disease or other medical condition that necessitates you cutting out certain foods). All foods are available to us, yet you may choose not to eat certain foods if they don’t make you feel good. That’s called listening to your body’s intuition, and only you know what’s going to make you feel your best!

So if you’re looking to work with someone who is as passionate about spreading the non-diet, nutrition science word as they are about having fun, you’ve come to the right place.

What you can expect when we work together…

“Dana provided a unique, delicious recipe for the weekly newsletter we send to our large base of customers, based solely on the seasonal produce we deliver from our farm partners. Due to the nature of working with only freshly harvested produce, the list of items we’ll be delivering that week isn’t typically confirmed until a few days before the newsletter is sent out. Though, despite the quick turn-around time and limited amount of items to work with, Dana was flexible, efficient and overall a pleasure to work with. We look forward to continue working with her! ” – Emily Spaeth, From the Farmer
