Stop Making Dinner From a Box. Start Making Those Same Family-Favorite Meals Healthier and Homemade With 100% Whole Foods.

*Are there favorites in your recipe card box collecting dust because the processed ingredients make you squirm?

*Do you miss comfort food casseroles that use "cream of" soups because you refuse to buy those cans anymore?

>> Over 6,000 readers are transforming their kitchen life with Better Than a Box - you can too!

This 220-page tutorial will help you gain confidence and courage in the kitchen, establish habits and routines to make sure you always have certain things on hand, and learn to save on dishes as you cook up a storm.

About this title

About the Author:

Katie Kimball is a mother of three from Michigan who spends a ton of time in the kitchen making real food with whole ingredients and then blogs about her successes and failures at KitchenStewardship.com. Her recipes are known for being thorough, family friendly and delicious. When she's not hiding behind spinach on Twitter, she can be found throwing it into every dish she makes (and teaching others how to throw veggies into the pot willy nilly). Katie's "real food" diet is constantly changing and improving, and if you drink raw milk, bake sourdough bread or make homemade yogurt, you'll feel right at home at Kitchen Stewardship, dedicated to helping families balance their quest for natural health with their time and money.

Review:

"Katie's how-to tips, one-pot meals, and make-ahead instructions simplify the Real Food cooking process so normal home-cooks like me don't feel so overwhelmed. ...a must-read for anyone interested in making Real Food meals for their family without spending all day in the kitchen."
-From Andrea of Simple Organized Living

"If you've made the decision to eat less processed foods, this e-book is an excellent addition to help you... Part recipe book/part teaching tutorial, it will help you transform old favorite recipes with processed ingredients into real food meals."
-From 100 Days of Real Food
