I recently came across this website called 100 Days of Real Food. I was immediately drawn in by the header, and the content, and the fact this Mom is so similar to me. I dug around the website for a while, reading her posts and stories of her and her family’s journey to eating real food.
Then I clicked on her sponsorship page and saw the stats on her blog growth and KNEW I had to talk to her. In just over a year she’s taken a brand spankin’ new blog and created a huge community (over 10K Facebook friends, and an average of 90 comments on blog posts) and killer traffic (210K + monthly). Now that is what I’m talking about!!
I had to find out what her secret is, and of course ask a few questions and get a little excited about eating real food. 🙂
I hope you enjoy our conversation and learn a lot. I know I sure did. Here it is my interview with Lisa Leake from 100 Days of Real Food.

I totally understand the concept but never would succeed trying to implement this in my home. I like to cook and always try to make homemade with natural/fresh ingredients. I figure that if I make delicious food people will eat it. Generally they do but unfortunately, I also find myself making dinner for everyone only to have them eating a frozen pizza or crummy snacks. Getting to the point where I’m thinking of taking myself off the job and just cook when I feel inspired. (Wishful thinking – they won’t stand for that here) I don’t want to be a food Nazi with my family. Just trying to instruct by example.
Very interesting article about how do create a successful blog. My question is, “Is this gal making money with it?”- or is it a love of labor. Still trying to figure this out myself. I’m a linen, art & lifestyle specialist.
I hear you about not wanting to be the food Nazi ~ my kiddo is only 5, so I just make sure I don’t buy anything I don’t want her to eat… and she spends time with other people who don’t necessarily share my thoughts on food ~ and that’s ok… at some point she’s going to have to learn to make those choices for herself, and I think that having some of everything helps make more balanced decisions.
Whether Lisa’s making money with it right now or not I don’t know… however, there are definitely ways she could monetize this site. Lots of ways…
