Did you think our life might slow down after the wedding? Not quite!
If you’ve been following along, you know the past few weeks have been full of joy – our son’s engagement, our daughter’s wedding – and now we have even more news to share!
Yes, in the midst of it all, we have been buying a new home in the beautiful Ozarks of Missouri and preparing to say goodbye to our home of 19 years in Wichita, Kansas.
The move is very bittersweet. And there has been A LOT of divine intervention involved in this process over the last several weeks. Wichita has been our home for 28 years, and we will dearly miss our friends and the local community. There are SO MANY people who have supported us in SO MANY incredible ways, and we will continue to cherish and nourish these relationships even from a short distance away.
At the same time, we are filled with excitement for what’s ahead – the nature, the beauty, the land, the lakes, the people. And of course, you know we checked out the farmers’ markets in the area, and they are thriving, with an even bigger vision and plans for the future!
So, over the next few weeks, you will see all kinds of chaos as we transition from one home to another, and from one beautiful kitchen to another. And rest assured our REAL food mission continues as strong as ever! It has transformed our lives, and we love sharing it with you to help inspire yours!
🎥 In this week’s video: we talk more about the move, give you a peek behind the scenes at our Eat REAL America Champions’ meetup, and show how we kept meals delicious and nourishing during an unpredictable week.
An Unexpected Pairing: Cantaloupe & Spaghetti Squash!
Sometimes the best flavor combinations are the ones you least expect! In this video, we bring together sweet, juicy summer cantaloupe and hearty fall spaghetti squash to create a dish that’s as fun as it is delicious: Crispy, golden Spaghetti Squash Pancakes topped with bright, refreshing Cantaloupe Salsa.
Give it a try and let us know what you think — is this the most unexpected duo you’ve ever seen on a plate? What are your favorite surprisingly delicious seasonal pairings?
Coaching Tip of the Week
Did you see the recent headline? “Last month saw the biggest jump in grocery prices in almost three years.” There are many reasons for this and, unfortunately, once they go up, they usually don’t come back down.
But here’s the good news: you can still eat well without breaking the bank! This week’s coaching tip (originally published in April 2022) shares 15 practical strategies to beat high food prices — and we’d love to hear your tips too.

I am so excited for you Krista. A big move like this can be scary but you have the right attitude for it. Where do your kids (engaged and married) live now? Hopefully close to Missouri.
