This giveaway is now closed! Thanks for participating.
If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you know that one of my favorite real food blogger friends is Kelly the Kitchen Kop. Kelly and I started blogging around the same time almost three years ago.
Kelly and I have shared so much over the years as friends. Although she is in Michigan, we email and talk on the phone a lot, and she has come out to visit me a couple of times here in LA. I even got her to eat raw oysters and sushi (which she swore she would NEVER eat and now she loves it)! Check out this picture of us reading the Weston A. Price Foundation quarterly newsletter on the beach (I know, what nerds!):
Discovering Real Food
It was really hard for me when I became a new mother in 2007 and discovered real food. When I was just starting out, I felt all alone and didn’t know who to call to ask for advice — like what kind of butter to buy, how to buy a chest freezer to store half a cow, how many cod liver oil capsules to take and did I really need to take the butter oil, too?
I have very few mom friends, and the ones I did know didn’t seem to share my obsession with feeding our children nutritious meals. While the other moms at playdates were feeding their babies Cheerios and other processed snacks, I was giving Baby Kate liverwurst and raw milk formula. I’d rush home to make a home-cooked meal of roast chicken or pot roast, while the other moms lingered at the park and ordered pizza for dinner.
It was such a relief to have a friend like Kelly. Even though she’s thousands of miles away, she’s always so supportive and caring — and she’s just as obsessive as I am about feeding our kids healthy. She has been eating this way a LOT longer than I have — and she has helped me so much.
Real Food for Rookies
Now it’s your chance to have Kelly as your friend and mentor.
Kelly’s launching her first online class, Real Food for Rookies. If you’re new to real food, or if you’ve been eating this way for a while and need some inspiration, this is your chance to win a 12-week multimedia online class that will teach you everything you need to know to get started on the road to eating real food.
Watch the video:
You’ll Save Time
If only this class had existed three years ago when I found real food. Instead of spending countless hours on the computer searching on Google for answers to my questions, I could have just taken the short cut and learned from Kelly!
Kelly’s online class gives you 24/7 access to a private online forum — so you can get all our questions answered. If you have a question about making chicken broth at midnight, ask away!
You’ll Save Money
Not only will you save time, but you’ll also save money. Do you know how many loaves of bread I made that were inedible? I was also wasting a lot of money shopping at the health food store, when I could have been saving by buying direct from farmers.
Kelly’s also offering, as part of the class, over $60 in coupons for grass-fed meat, cod liver oil, and more from our Real Food Media sponsors. Just by using the coupons, you’ll recoup over half the price of the class!

I was really hoping to take this class, but just cannot afford it right now. I am definitely a rookie and all the class schedule looks great to me, but I would be most excited about the week of “Healthy Snacks and Food-on-the-go” as this is the area where I tend to compromise. Thanks for the chance to win!

I want to learn about what to ask my farmer without insulting him/her, how to pick cheese, breakfast ideas and everything else! I’ve been eating this way for 3 years but it is a long slow process to learn it all on your own so the more info I can get the better. And Kelly looks like so much fun!
I would like to learn about making and using homemade broth.
HI!!
I am very interested in this class. I have started some very basic “real food” preparations, but need help in continuing. I have 4 children and know that this would really benefits my four daughters. I would sooo love to enroll in this class, will there be others if I don’t make it????…as money is very short right now..but that will change soon. Please enter me in the giveaway class! I would be thrilled to win it to learn about this life changing way of life now, instead of later when I can afford it!!! Bless you for helping us learn how we have been killing ourselves with what we eat….
Thank you!

I joined Real Foods Media and put the widget on my blog (correct address is posted with this comment — I may have left out “blogspot.” on some of my earlier ones1″
Hi there, I’ve been reading your blog for awhile and started taking Iodoral after reading about your thyroid experience. It helped me a LOT: my hair stopped falling out and my nails are much improved, plus my energy is better. Last April, I was in the hospital for three weeks with strep pneumonia, almost died. My goal is vibrant health now… I’ve always been healthy, never sick, not even a sniffle, I’m 54… this was a huge wake-up call.
Although new to WAPF and traditional foods, everything about it resonates with me. And I love butter, lol! Looking forward to being educated on every single aspect of it. Particularly interested, since it was mentioned on the real food for rookies page, any and all info on labels and what the heck is that stuff in my food!
We just moved from Costa Rica to the states, will settle in either KY or TX and will find a WAPF chapter near us immediately! My new blog will be http://www.fiftytolife.com (don’t go there yet, nothing there…)
Thank you for your inspiration. I found you via GNOWFLINS, another fave! Pura vida,
Sally

So many reasons to want to take this course. I have literally read Nourishing Traditions cover to cover.
I have fibromyalgia and as a single mom, just finding energy to keep up with my son can be a challenge (I homeschool him, too). Some nights, getting dinner on the table is overwhelming. My son is big on breakfasts and I’m desperately in need of new breakfast ideas. Eggs every day might cut it for me, but he’s getting bored.
Oh, I also have ADD and my son shows definite signs of it as well. Balancing our diets better would go a long way towards alleviating the symptoms of the ADD as well.
We are on a journey to learn how to find, prepare, and eat real, whole, natural, good-for-you foods. I think this course would be an immeasurable help for me.
I have “tweeted” about your giveaway, too!

Hi! I already “like” you on Facebook, but I would really love to be able to take the class. I can’t afford it right now, but if I were to win, I would love to learn how to make more real food and cut out the boxed and prepackaged stuff we too often eat now. Both of my parents have type 2 diabetes, and I am well on my way too. I know I need to fix this NOW but golly, I sure struggle knowing what to do and how to do it.
Cheers!
Melissa

I’m very excited to find your blog! I have been incorporating some of your ideas for over a decade, but would love to learn the additional skills you mention here. My site is dedicated to the same demographic, for those that are interested in simple, healthy living. My goal is to help re-educate my visitors with good old fashioned common sense living skills. I’d love to take your online class so that I might help others! You’re doing awesome work!

Hi again Ann Marie – I follow you on Twitter.
Me again! I like you on FB.
Although I sometimes consider myself a semi-rookie, my husband is definitely a rookie who doesn’t enjoy reading (especially thick books like Nourishing Traditions). I’m excited to learn more tips, and help my husband learn the basics, via Kelly’s multimedia class.
I already subscribe to your email updates.
I’d love to learn about reading labels!
I follow your blog using Google Reader
I’m not a rookie, but convincing my husband has been an uphill battle. My oldest son and I had some health issues. Changed the diet and we improved. Married my present husband and he felt I am over-zealous. Therefore, raising our youngest son has been a challenge,
in the area of diet. I feel more info that I can provide to my husband and ideas to expand the number of our recipe ideas would be great! Thanks so much.
I signed up to follow by email. thanks.
Follow on facebook. thanks.
The things I’d like to learn most are about the superfoods and how to afford the most nourishing meals.
I follow on facebook.

I already like your FB page but I went and commented again. Hoping the fois gras recipes go up soon! Never made it but sounds yummy!
One reason I want to win the class is that I homeschool and time to do my own research for foods/nutrition is growing increasingly rare.
