Funky Fresh Kitchen – Join the Fun!!

August 26, 2011 by Laura 352 Comments

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.

funkykitchencoversmTo 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.  But hurry – our discounted price of $1.00 will only be available for the first 100 purchasers. As of now, you can purchase Do the Funky Kitchen eBook for just $1.50 – available for the next 150 purchasers!! After that, the price will creep up little by little throughout the week. Take advantage of this deal while you can!

Watch for specials and discounts like this for the next two weeks during this Funky Fresh Kitchen feature.

Also:  By leaving a comment on ANY post with the above Funky Fresh Kitchen button featured, you will be entered to win one of five $10 gift certificates good for anything downloadable in our Heavenly Homemakers Shop. Because the button is featured on this post, comments right here and now will be added to the drawing for our gift certificates! Let the commenting, the Funky Kitchen eBook purchasing, the facebooking and sharing begin!

Watch for frequent updates, new ideas and recipes, discounts and giveaways – you don’t want to miss a thing. Thanks for joining me! It’s gonna be a great two weeks!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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,

    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!

    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!
