I haven’t attempted to turn a cartwheel since I was in my early twenties. I actually almost pulled a muscle just picturing myself turning a cartwheel today. BUT, I am so excited about the next two weeks I really am tempted to do some flips. After a lot of emailing, planning, organizing and brainstorming, I have a lot to tell you about. Where should I start?
First maybe I should explain what Funky Fresh Kitchen is all about.
Fall is almost here. I don’t know if you are like me, but this time of year I’m always looking for a fresh start. I want to get into a nice, organized routine. I want to set new goals for my family and for my kitchen. I want to enjoy all the wonderful, fresh food of harvest time. I want to start baking again as the weather turns cooler. I want to try new recipes. And I want my kitchen to be funky.
Funky? Yes, funky. Functional, if you really want to be technical, but I like calling it a Funky Kitchen, mostly because it makes me giggle. (Obviously, I’m easily amused.)
Make plans to join us here for the next two weeks of Funky Fresh Kitchen fun! I have new recipes to share, I’ll be offering up some challenges (are you ready to get your game on?), I’ve got some incredible giveaways and there will be some majorly discounted items in our shop.
I’ve got so many posts and so much excitement, I’m going to suggest that you may want to subscribe to Heavenly Homemakers and/or join my Facebook page so that you don’t miss anything. Trust me, you don’t want to miss anything.
The giveaways I have lined up? Well, you may just want to join me in the cartwheel attempts after you hear about these. Are you ready?
Cultures for Health has agreed to give away an Excalibur Food Dehydrator!! It’s true. AND (yes, I am screaming here) Paula’s Bread has offered to give away my most favorite Funky Fresh Kitchen item ever: a Nutrimill!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Let us all pause now for a moment of synchronized cartwheel turning and screaming.)
And don’t forget the new recipes I’ll be sharing. Some are chocolate and some include broccoli and all of them are easy and will inspire you to make fresh, healthy changes in your kitchen. Goodness, I’m so excited while I’m typing, I’m realizing that I have forgotten to breathe. You are all still breathing aren’t you? Okay good. We can’t all pass out before we even begin all the fun.
Share this post with all your friends on Facebook and in your neighborhood and tell your sisters and cousins and friends at church and college roommates and your bff and your bff’s sisters and cousins and everyone you can think of who could and should join us as we pursue our Funky Fresh Kitchens.
To get us started, we are offering our Do the Funky Kitchen eBook (which is regularly $4.95) for only $1.00. Yes, a buck. Read my favorite tips and suggestions for achieving a funky (functional) and organized kitchen, fresh and clean for fall.

Laura,
You had me wanting to turn cartwheels. But with my back, I just imagined I was doing them. Gotta be able to walk and do housework! Can’t wait to get Funky in my kitchen.
Ooooohhhh, this sounds like a lot of fun!!!! Can’t wait to see what fun, funky surprises there are:)
I like it! We’re moving to our first house (!!) next weekend and I’ve been daydreaming about how to organize my kitchen. With a pantry. And a center island. And COUNTER SPAAAAAAAAAACE!!! Oh yay yay. K I’m going to spend $1 now.
Found your site a couple days ago & immediately subscribed. Thank you for your work & enthusiasm.
looking forward to the great things you’ll be sharing with us, and the givaways.
This sounds really funky and exciting! Can’t wait!
I’m so excited I could do cart wheels but that would hurt!
Woo Hoo! Awesome giveaways!
I always look forward to your posts, but will make sure not to miss one for the next few weeks.
I’ll definitely be reading. :) I’ve been saving swagbucks for a nutrimill, but I could definitely spend them on something else should I happen to win. :)
Yay! I am really needing some good ideas on how to make my kitchen more funky! Can’t wait for the awesome giveaways either! Love reading your blog, you have inspired me to start cooking healthier food for my family.
I’m so excited a friend told me about you a couple of days ago. Just the type thing I want to spend some time doing.

So excited about this. Ready to get all organized and funkified. Really trying hard to change the way we think about food and what we are putting into our bodies. I just figured out how to put all of your eBooks on my ipad. Now I can take them with me where ever I go!!!!! Would love to win the gift certificate and buy the last few books that I don’t already own.
Bring on da funk! :) Would love to win the dehydrator or nutrimill…. just like the 1000 other people…lol… but, worth a try when they pop up here later.
Kelly
Yay! I just downloaded the book, and I cannot wait for the new recipes! And a dehydrator would be so cool, I would love to make my little guy some treats that don’t include apples like the store bought stuff! I may do a cartwheel with you. Or not, but I will jump up and down!
Sounds fun!
This is some exciting stuff! Can’t wait!
I am new to this blog–and newly addicted! Hooray for healthy cooking! :)
Sounds good. And I probably should think about giving my kitchen a fresh start.
Woo-hoo! So exciting!

Wowsa, Laura, those are some HUGE give-aways! Since I could never do a proper cartwheel even in my youth, the virtuals will do just dandy for me… and hopefully won’t require a visit to the chiropractor : )
This looks like fun!
Wow! This sounds great. I’ll be keeping an eye on your blog. Thanks so much.

Rebecca C
I always comment, thinking one day it will be my turn to win. I hope that turn comes with the dehydrator or grain mill!!
Wow, I look forward to this week ! So much fun coming !
How exciting! I can’t wait to see what the next few weeks have in store!
Yeah!
This is just what I needed. I was thinking this week about how I want to get back in the swing of things with cooking. Looking forward to the next 2 weeks.
I just had a baby and am still in nesting/house organizing mode!
Love the synchronized cartwheel turnings! And giveaways are always fun to enter!
I am so excited….I love an organized kitchen, but I completely lose it this time of year with canning, and produce constantly being brought in…cant wait to see what you have in store for us
Love this idea – I’m doing some canning now and my kitchen always seems to be a disorganized mess!
A nutrimill?! Oh my goodness!!
Deep cleaning my kitchen has been on my list for a while…. and NOW I am motivated!!
As a kid I could never do a cartwheel. So I doubt I could do one now. Although, I am pretty good at handstands.
Woo HOO! I’m very excited!
Wow, awesome giveaways! Thanks for your hard work.
Great giveaways! I always enjoy reading your site and trying your recipes :)
Can’t wait for all the new posts!
This is SO fun!! Super excited for tips and ideas to get a funky, fresh kitchen. . . Awesome giveaways!! yay!
This is looking exciting.
I was just thinking my kitchen needed a good ol’ re-org earlier this morning.
FRESH? Yes!!!! I’m turning over a new leaf in my kitchen. Going to try and start some freezer cooking with meals. Currently I do breads and baked goods but not actual meals yet.
This sounds fabulous. Sharing the kitchen with my daughter is a blessed challenge. I know she would agree we need a FRESH kitchen. Yahoo!
A nutramil?!!!!!! Love it!!! U rock.
I am so excited and ready to have a funky kitchen! I will be watching for all the fun challenges and I am excited to get the ebook at a reduced price!
Thank you!!!!
Thank you! Love my kitchen to be more functional, I think I’ll go clean some shelves right now!
awsome!! the excitment is just in time for my birthday!! :D
Just got my ebook-yay! I would love to win a dehydrator too! I already have a Nutrimill, but I could sell it and BUY a dehydrator if I won that, lol. Very exciting-thanks!
Wow–I’m excited now, too! I would love to win the Nutrimill!! Thanks for the fall fun, Laura!
A Nutrimill would be a dream come true!
Tiny kitchen.. eight of twelve children still at home..lots of cooking from scratch.. wish I could have met your Grandma and swapped stories with her. I am going to enjoy this series as one can never be to funKtional inn the kitchen,!
Sounds like fun! Thanks so much!
We go through A LOT of dried fruit at my house, I would love a dehydrator to make my own!
Exciting!
I, like you, am so excited to get back into a routine and mor scheduled life. I love,love, love summer and the busy, crazy (sometimes lazy) days that I get to spend with my kiddos,but now I’m ready to settle in and look forward to next summer. Looking forward to reading your book! (on my way over to buy it right now!)
Missed the deal on the reduced price eBook :( I have been addicted to your site since being introduced to you at my Natural Mom’s Group. It is like my new Facebook!
I am SO in! I, too, love to try to get reorganized in my home in the fall. It’s the perfect time to prepare for all the goodness autumn brings. I’m so excited to see what’s in store here!
I look forward to the festivities!
Oh I am so excited too! I was just telling my husband the other day, how in our crazy world; as it is, I feel fellowship and friendship– even here online where I have never really “met” you. What a blessing it has been!!!
Doing mental cartwheels too! (I don’t dare attempt the real ones, it would get ugly fast!) Looking forward to the line up over the next few weeks!
Fall is always the best time for me to get things in shape. Thanks for the cartwheels.
Would love to win the Nutrimill!! Synchronized cartwheels….LOL!!!
Can’t wait for all the tips! :)
I am thinking the same in starting fresh with routine this fall- both life in general with school kids now and lots of new recipes to bake. Both the Nutrimill and a dehydrator are on my wish list, so I thought I had better comment. I wish I was there to do some real cartwheels together! Your writing makes me smile.
Looking forward to all the fun spinning around here (the cartwheels of course!). Thank you for all the possibilities. And thank you for all that you do to keep us encouraged, motivated, and sometimes getting the kick in the pants that we need to move out of our comfort zones to try something a little different.
Wow! Sounds exciting and fun, exactly what I need right now. And a chance to win stuff? Super fun. I could really use all of those things. I’ve had my eye on the Tortilla ebook for awhile now;)
I love organizing posts! This looks like fun. Thanks!
I’m so excited about these posts! My kitchen is in great need of some organization!
Tried to do a back flip. My 61 year old body just didn’t make it. I now despraetly need a Nutrimill so I can help to heal myself with healty, organic breads and stuff.
lol..too funny!
Yay! I’m excited!!
Excited to see all that is posted!
How exciting! I just had a baby 1.5 weeks ago and am dying to get back in my kitchen to reorganize and start cooking again!!
my kitchen is funky… but i DONT mean functional lol.
I would love a funky kitchen with all of the canning I am going to be doing in the next few months!

Sounds like fun!
I would love to win the nutrimill! I too need to get my kitchen more organized!
Pick me! I’m excited about your new series!
Trying to eat better to improve the health of my family and maybe remove some autistic behaviors. While the dehydrator and Nutrimil are great, we have already been blessed by the information you have shared with our family. Looking forward to some new recipes! Thanks for all you do.

I’m always on the lookout for simple healthy recipes! I love your sense of humor in the way you write. Thanks for sharing how the Lord has blessed you and your family.

Monday sends the 4 oldest kids off to school and for the first time in 7.5 years i only have one kid at home with me. major mixed feelings about that one. i’ll miss the 2 middles alot as it’s their first day at all day school. but i can’t wait to see the great stuff you’ve got planned
SO looking forward to all you have for us!!! Your cooking wisdom and insight has been a huge blessing for me as I’ve started down this road of a healthier eating lifestyle for my family. :)
I’ve been begging for a grain mill…I can’t wait.
Please enter me!

Love this website and all the informative, educational, and funny posts. It’s inspired me to get serious about what my family is eating and teach them about healthier ways to eat and love it! Thanks and God Bless!!
How exciting to have a chance for winning a dehydrator or nutrimill!
How exciting, can’t wait for the new series.
We are re-doing our kitchen in about 3 weeks, so all this new info on organizing and keeping clean a brand new kitchen really couldn’t come at a more perfect time!
Thanks Laura ;-)
Your posts make me smile! And those giveaways are pretty sweet, too. We’re in the process of moving but once settled, I’m looking forward to having a funky kitchen as well! :)
Always interested in becoming more functional! Excited for the giveaways!
How fun! And funky – I love it! Thanks for doing all this!

I would love to know how to have a “Funky Kitchen.” With working full-time and having 2 boys play football it keeps me hopping to get meals made and get to football games after work. There are times that my husband will cook and meal before he goes to work at 4:00 and then we just warm it up.
Love you site and find it very informative and enjoyable to read.
How exciting! Looking forward to all thats coming! :)
I’m with you – school starts Monday, my oldest son just started college (commuting) and I want to have good food on hand when they get home, so getting my kitchen “funky” would be a good start! Can’t wait to see what’s coming.
I have both a Nutriill AND an Excalibur Dehydrator, & let me tell you, whoever wins those will NOT be disappointed!!!
Goodness – great giveaways!
This is exciting!
I would LOVE to win! Thank you!
Ahhh I want to win the nutrimill!!! My husband is sick of hearing about how bad I want one!!!!
Oh! Oh! Oh! Pick me!!!
Laura, I’m super excited about the giveaways and new recipes – keep it coming!
I just ordered my Funky Kitchen eBook and can’t wait to read it and be inspired in start cool weather cooking!
This sounds like a fun couple of weeks! I love your recipes!
Looking forward to reading more about it!
A Nutrimill?!?! Really?!?! That is sssssssooooooooo cool! And I am so looking forward to the recipies! I love fall!!!
yay! This is very exciting; I can’t wait to see what you have in store for the next couple of weeks.
I’m just starting college, and everyone says that college is the time to start with a clean slate. This is what I’m really hoping to do: eat better, study harder, be more organized and responsible, while trying to get to and from school every day. Daunting task, but I’m really really going to try. So, this “start fresh” theme is just perfect for me. I plan to be mor of a poster rather than a silent reader as well on this site. I feel like for all of the hard work you do, you deserve appreciation. :) Thank you so much; you’re such a blessing.
Rylie
I do have one question:
What format do your EBooks come in? I’m totally blind, and I have a software on my computer that reads everything to me on the screen. But, sometimes, the formatting of books gives the program trouble, and it doesn’t read it well at all. I might try downloading one of your free Ebooks to test out the accessibility.
Rylie – the ebooks come in PDF format – will that work for you? :)
How exciting!! I truly look forward to getting on the computer and seeing if you have posted anything for the day! Reading your blog makes me giggle and smile and I love that! A happy, motivated Mom is good for the rest of the family!!
Oooohhh, oooohhh, a Nutrimill!!!!!!!
Thank you for your givaways: both would be wonderful. I have neither. Also looking forward to a Funky, not Junky …Kitchen.
Sounds like fun!
This is awesome! I’m so excited! I want my kitchen to be ‘funky’!
Outstanding idea, outstanding giveaways. Count me in!
Well, I downloaded the “for the Love of Pie” EBook, and it kind of worked. The problem was the screen reader read it as though there was only one word on each line. I’d like to say I’ll just deal with it, but there’s no way I could read a book with only one word on each line. I wish I had much better news to tell. I have no idea why it would read the books like that. :( PDF’s sometimes work, and sometimes don’t.
I can’t wait to win :)
I don’t know how you do it, but I’m always amazed!
Sorry for the double comment, but I was sitting there saying why it wasn’t working, and didn’t even tel you how it could work. Jaws, or job access with speech, which is the screen reader just for future reference, works really well with any plain text or MS word documents. RTF format works fine as well. I have no idea whether it’s possible to get these books in any of those formats, but those are the ones that work best. I really hope there’s something we can do together to get these to work because I would love to buy some of your books, and I have other blind friends as well who I know would be interested.
Thanks so much,
Rylie
If you make the purchase, my shop would immediately send you the pdf file. But then if you email me, I could simply email you the MS word doc. I think that should work on about all of my ebooks if that’s something you’d like to try!
Sounds great! Sign me up!
Sure, the one time I don’t check my e-mail right away :)
Sounds like you have been a busy girl and I appreciate you having some fun lined up for all of us!
Heather
Wow…if you wouldn’t mind doing that, that would be wonderful! Now I can buy this book before the price goes up. :) Thank you so much for working with me.
Just bought my book! I’m ready to go!!! :)
Yay! A nutrimill! Super excited for the giveaways!
Wow! Those are some amazing giveaways!
Great give aways!
Okay so everything you have mentioned makes my heart skip a beat!
Momma to 3
*Shay B*
EXCITED!! I’ll be watching on facebook :)
Liked you on FB and interested in this very much.. :)
Awesome giveaways!
This sounds wonderful. I have been learning a lot from you and following your menu plans. So I’m geared up to learn how to cook healthier, and more often, for my family.
SUPER EXCITED for all these upcoming posts!
I have several of your e-books already and love every one of them. They are WELL used in my home and WELL LOVED.
I am turning cartwheels with you!!! I want to win the Nutrimill! I will be waiting right here! Ok, I might get up to eat, sleep, etc. but I will be waiting!
A nutrimill?!?! Wow. Looking forward to reading the upcoming posts.
very inspirational, thanks! By the way, surely I’m not the only one who after reading page 1 thought that this book should have been titled “do the funky chicken”?
I bought your Learn Your Letters book last week, just bought your Funky Kitchen one…I hope I get my kitchen organized while using part of it as my lesson area :0)
How exciting! Looking forward to all the fun :-)

I am SO excited! Not just about the giveaways (which are rockin’ AWESOME, btw!!), either. I just made my to-do list for the week and it included ORGANIZING THE KITCHEN!

Thank you for the opportunity to be in the drawing….what an awesome prize! I just ordered my Funky Kitchen Cookbook yesterday, and am eagerly awaiting it’s arrival in my Inbox. :-)
It should have come directly to you after your purchase – if you still haven’t received it, email me (laura at heavenlyhomemakers dot com) and I’ll help you out!
The Funky Kitchen what fun. I can’t wait to tell my kids that we are going to get a funky kitchen. Thanks for the opportunity to be in the drawings for the gift certificate.
Such fun excitement! I love your site! Thanks for all that you work so hard to share with the rest of us!
Yes count me in for this drawing!
Sounds like fun!
We’ve been without power for the majority of Sat-Mon. some due to Irene and some from the green transformer box down the road….
How exicting to have such neat things for give aways as we head into Fall! The flour mill is on my list to order. It would be great to win and then I could use what’s in the envelope for wheat berries!
I am dying to try “drying”!
Looks like it will be a fun two weeks. Hope I remember to get on the computer.
Looking forward to this series!
Sounds like a great new series! I’m looking forward to it :)
I love your site!! Thanks for tons of great ideas!
I’m ready to do the Funky Fresh Kitchen dance with you :)
We have had a bonanza of tomatoes this season and when they were ripe, my husband would pick, process in the food processor and freezer – last weekend, we thawed and then made and canned 15 quarts of spaghetti sauce —- yum! and we still have 3 gallons of plain tomatoes in the freezer!!!
What fun! I can’t wait!
Can’t wait to see what new ideas and tips will be shared — this is such a fantastic website! It’s so great to share with like-minded folks. Just finished canning 48 pints of beets (pints are the perfect size for our family — less chance of waste). Will do homemade spaghetti sauce next week and am picking up 40 lbs. of fresh Palisade (Colorado) peaches in a day or two to start canning and freezing. For lack of a better word . . . yum!
I love your book and am so jealous of the bounty you are preparing for the year. I didn’t have a summer garden this year but I am already planning a winter garden; I love lettuce, spinach, and the like and have always wanted to grow some. You are truly an inspiration :)
Very exciting. I want to win both of your big prizes (Excalibur Food Dehydrator and the Nutrimill) so I can understand why you were doing cartwheels :). Looking forward to ready all the posts.
All your ideas are great! Thanks for the change to win.
How fun! Just the encouragement I need! I’ve loved what I’ve found so far on your site. :)
If you have a canning book, I’ll purchase that when I win one of the gift certificates! ;)
this is such a great series Laura!
Once again,…..THANK YOU!!! :o)
Yay for giveaways!!
It’s time to start eating better and one of the reason’s I avoid my kitchen is that it’s a disaster area. If anything can help me organize, I’m all for it! Sadly, I can’t afford $1.50 until payday … but payday is coming soon! You wouldn’t happen to be giving away a dishwasher, would you? lol. :)
The Funky Fresh series is awesome! :)
This giveaway and the Funky Fresh Kitchen sounds like it will be fun! I’m just catching up on reading, so I’m late joining in…but I’ll enjoy it anyway! :o)
Hi Laura:
I wanted you to know how great your funky fresh kitchen e-book is. It has and is going to change mine and my families’
life.
I purchased the ebook and I’m looking forward to reading it!
Love the ideas thanks
I really enjoyed these two weeks, thank you for all of the valuable information.
So I’m way behind…I’d seen your Funky Fresh Kitchen show up, but thought it seemed kind of silly until I just read that Funky = Functional. Now, I think it is great and I’m going to attempt to catch up on what I’ve missed!
I love giveaways! Thanks for your wonderful website. =)

So exciting!! I too look forward to the cooler days of Autumn to kick my cooking and baking into high gear! So glad I happened upon your blog through Pinterest last month. I’ve been working to get away from overly processed food for my family of 6 and I am learning so much from you. Thanks!
Give-aways and a “Funky, Fresh Kitchen.” What’s not love. Looking forward to the weeks ahead. Thanks!
