Does this sound like you?
- you know enough about real food cooking to be ‘dangerous'… to the ingredients that you use. 🙂
- wish you could learn more but it takes so much time to develop new cooking skills by trial and error. I mean, a compost pile can only take so many recipe failures!
- would like to try kombucha, soaking grains, fermented veggies, or kefir but don't know how to get started, and are afraid your family will reject the new foods that you prepare
- need to do all of this on a budget… I mean we're not made of money!
Personally, I really need to work on the ‘budget' portion of real food. I go through ingredients like they're growing on trees (even when they're not). And it's not just because of this blog… I tend to go through ‘trial and error cooking' that can be expensive. I really need someone to coach me so I can increase my success and reduce my grocery bill, but still buy good food.
If the above describes your way of cooking (like me)…you may want to look into Jenny McGruther's new ‘Real Food on a budget' eCourse. She is very experienced and has some great ideas about cooking on a budget. Jenny was recently featured on CNN Health due to her 28 day Real Food Challenge.
I am going to take this course as well, because of the issues that I talk about above, and I'd really like to see all the wonderful recipes behind the Nourished Kitchen blog! I'm especially looking forward to an alternative for ranch dressing that my family will like (lesson 4), and gluten free bread baking (lesson 3).
Also in lesson 5, we will learn to cook savory, local vegetables. I am especially looking forward to this chapter due to the summer vegetable season. What a great time to take this course, when we have so many options available to us! And we'll also learn how to preserve the harvest.
Please join me in taking this course…

My two teenage daughters and I will be doing the class together and I am so excited for this opportunity! I am a cook with some serious years under her belt but if you keep your mind open there is always, ALWAYS, something new to learn. Plus, what a great opportunity to bring my girls alongside for a little “summer school” where they will actually have fun and learn lifelong skills to better enable them to nourish THEIR families in the future. Somehow, just hearing information from someone besides mom can have an amazing effect on their retention… it’s all of a sudden “new” stuff! ;D We will also be using this class toward their high school credits as we home school and I am all about valuable life skills rather than just rote memorization of useless or inapplicable data. When I think about how far ahead in the game my girls are than where I was at their age… wow, it is just so rewarding!
How great Beth!! I love to hear about teens and how they are learning about cooking traditional foods. How neat that they can also use it for high school credit! I think I’ll get my daughters involved in the course too, thanks for the idea!
