This eCookbook the resource so many of us (including me!) have been needing for so long!
Because this kitchen resource is designed to be your “go-to” book, it is filled with pictures, tutorials, information, and of course – lots of recipes. It isn’t fancy. It isn’t overwhelming. It’s just me sharing “how I do it” when it comes to feeding my family a healthy diet on a limited budget and with limited time.
This book includes my most treasured recipes that I use all the time. I’ve shared many of them through the years on my blog, but to have them all together in one handy book? This is so helpful! These are the recipes that help me feed my family healthy food without breaking my neck in the kitchen. These are the recipes that keep my freezer stocked with ready-to-grab meals and snacks. These are the recipes my family loves. (Even the family members who are picky!)
In addition to all the recipes and helpful information we’ve organized in the book, you will find “Real Quick Tips” sprinkled all throughout, which will provide you with simple ideas for getting ahead and saving time in the kitchen.
Each time you see the “Freezer Friendly” button in the book, you can learn with a quick glance how to prepare that particular recipe for the freezer, and how to reheat it when you are ready to serve it.
What will you find in Oh, For Real?
- Over 115 healthy, real food breakfast, lunch, supper, casserole, slow cooker, and snack recipes that will save you time, money and sanity
- Versatile mixes and whole grain dough recipes that offer loads of healthy recipe options with little to no effort
- Freezer cooking ideas and instructions to help you actually get ahead in the kitchen
- Last minute (healthy) meal ideas, because for real, you don’t have to resort to ordering pizza in a pinch
- More information about my family and me than you ever really needed to know. We are real. :)
Care to take a little peek inside? Click here for a preview.
This is not an eBook you will read once and stuff on your shelf, never to be read again. This is more than a cookbook. Oh, For Real is your real food resource – the book you will reference over and over as you develop and/or maintain your healthy, whole foods kitchen.
Get yours here!

Just pre-ordered the book…YAY! Is there an expiration date on the BONUS $10.00 certificate? I am in the processes of putting my e-books in seperate folders, and would like to wait and see what I have, and what I don’t have. Hope I can wait a few more weeks on using the certificate – please let me know Laura.
Congratulations on your book, and may it be very successful!
Susan
Thanks for your purchase and for your encouragement! :) The code expires March 31, 2013.
What is the $10 certificate? Is it $10 off the book or something else? I am thinking I will order the cookbook, but if there’s a discounts, I’m in.
That certificate expired mid-March. :)
hi laura,i really like to purchase your book but im from the philippines :(
Email me and we’ll see what we can work out! (laura at heavenlyhomemakers.com)
How exciting! I’m about to pre-order right now! Thanks for the bonus!
I just preordered! I can’t wait to get it! Thank you so much Laura for taking the time to do this. You are truly wonderful! :)
Good work! I’m just curious, can you explain the benefits of the book over your website?
I have the same question.
This book summarizes what the almost 3000 posts on my site have said, making it easier to find all of the information about freezer cooking and getting ahead in the kitchen. Plus it organizes all of the recipes in one easy spot. AND, there are additional recipes in the book that aren’t found on the website.
Some may find that simply referencing my website and looking up the information and recipes needed works just fine. Ultimately, this book makes life easier. I personally am very excited to have all of this information in my hands so I can quickly flip through and check recipes as needed. :)
Hope that helps answer the questions. Let me know if you have more!
Ha! I should clarify. Not ALL of the recipes on my website are in the book. Just 115ish. :)
just ordered! thank you – love to have a book in my hands when I cook (not so great with the whole computer thing…!). may the lord bless this book richly
I just pre-ordered! Can’t wait to get this book. Thanks, Laura.
Ordered! Oh, I can’t wait to have the book in my hands. :)
Just ordered!! Can’t wait for it to arrive!!! Need ideas before our crazy summer field season begins :)
I just ordered and I’m soooooo excited! Congrats and thanks for the bonus…You’re awesome!
Ordered my book!! Yippee!! :) I can’t wait to receive it! Congratulations and thank you for the bonus!!
Ordered!!!!! And so excited!! Whats the e.t.a. :)
Hoping to have them in our hands and begin shipping on March 20. :)
I ordered my copy. Seriously, I cannot WAIT to get this book! Wonderful that you put this together for us. Love you and your blog, Laura!!
Ordering!!! Love, love all the info on your website … has been so helpful. But, super excited to have this to flip through when I need it. Really want to start feeding my family healthy food … but have had no idea where to start, how to get it all organized and flow with the reality of life. Thank you, thank you :)
How long can we preorder? I don’t get my allowance for a few days? So excited to get this book. God Bless
This pre-order special will last through March 19. At that point, we hope to have them in our hands to begin shipping. :)
It sounds like it is a great gift idea for someone starting out to eating healthier, but I’m super thrilled with your website and the ease of finding things quickly. It’s right next to my Bible, literally, haha! :) I want to support anything you do so I think I’ll think of a friend or two who might really benefit and is interested. Thank you for all you do Laura and for sharing!
Yay pre ordering when I get paid on the 15th!!!! Cannot wait to meet you in Branson!
wishing the coupon expired later than March 31st. That doesn’t give enough time to get the book and look through it to make sure I don’t order and ebook that has info that is in the book.
May be a foolish question but is shipping included?
Yes, shipping is included in that price. :)
Looking so forward to buying your book! We’re literally in the middle of another (and hopefullly final) move…so the minute we’re packed up and have unloaded the U-haul,I plan on ordering your book:) Best wishes to you and your continued success!
Dear Laura,
Have you thought of a downloadable version for your international readers? I’m afraid that shipping to France will cost as much as the book… Any hints? Will be very appreciated! Keep up the good work, you’re an inspiration! and a funny one by the way ;)
Yes, we will definitely work with our international readers! Email me about download details: laura at heavenlyhomemakers.com
I’m trying to order your book…is paypal the only payment you accept?
If you’d prefer to send me a check, that would work too! Email me and we can discuss options. (laura at heavenlyhomemakers.com)
Thank you so much for the time and effort you have put into this book! I really appreciate your web-site and have learned so much from you over the last 15 months. I’m so looking forward to having your recipes and other information in one place…my kitchen! Thanks again!
Ordered your book yesterday, can’t wait to read it! Just a quick question. When do we get the bonus code? I’ve got my ebooks all picked out. So excited to read everything. :)
You should have received an email/invoice from me giving you your coupon code. Maybe check your spmam folder – or email me. (laura at heavenlyhomemakers.com)
I’m so excited about this. Perhaps my laptop will be safe from the flour it usually is dusted with. I’m SO glad you are making this book! Can’t wait to get mine!
Just ordered mine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-)
I just pre-ordered mine!! Yay! I love all your recipes, but I will be so happy to have a book to look at. Thanks for all your hard work.
Your preview copy looks lovely! I am so excited to get a copy of the “fruit of your labors” into my own hands. This will be such a help as I already use so many of your recipes anyway and am constantly running to your website to look one of them up.
Just pre-ordered my copy! I don’t really ever comment here, but I’m trying to get my own diet moving more toward whole foods, so I think this will be an invaluable resource. Thanks for everything you do with the blog!
I would like to order this, but I’m wondering what percentage of the recipes are gluten free, or easily adaptable? I get so many great recipes from your website, and cherish the gluten free ones!
I would say that well over half of the recipes are GF, and many of the others are adaptables. :)
Oops, “adaptable”. :)
Great! Thank you! I think I’ll have to pick up a few as gifts also!
I also thank you, Laura, for your time and effort in putting this book and all your information together to bless us. I have recently been “downsizing” my email acct., and have unsubscribed to most of the other unnecessary emails. Yours is the only blog I will continue to receive, as I find it practical, humorous and encouraging. I have been using so many of your recipes for the past few months, and was about to put all my miscellaneous recipes into a binder. Now I will wait to see which ones are in your new cookbook before I complete that task. I’m excited to have it all in one convenient place (and I still like a “real” book in my hands, esp. for cooking). I will recommend your new cookbook to others!
Hello, I’ve just pre-ordered your book! I love your blog and your recipes. I use so many of them for my grandsons, ages 13 and 9. Big hits are the Giant Breakfast Cookies and Breakfast Cake. However, they like many of your real food meals as well, not just the “fun” stuff! Thank you so much for writing this book; I’m anxious to receive it, read about your “real” family, and have easy access to so many of your recipes. Keep up your good work!
Thanks for letting us know. Congratulations!
I just made my pre-order for the book.
Looking forward to receiving it and trying some more recipes.
I am always looking for healthier ways to feed my three boys.
Thanks for your order!
Just ordered. Am excited. Thanks, Layra!
Oops! So sorry. The U I didn’t hit right! :(
I was trying to order The book today , but I do not have a pay pal account. I do have a credit card. Thanks Tina
Tina, email me and we’ll see what we can work out! (laura at heavenlyhomemakers.com)
Laura,
I would like to order a printed, paper copy. My daughter, however prefers to use her computer. Can I order my copy and then download a copy to her computer or flashdrive(whatever) using the $10 bonus? Would both copies be $25.95 each minus the $10 on the downloaded copy? You may e-mail me at the address used. Thanks, Carol
We’re giving this some thought, mostly because we haven’t figured out a download price and policy yet. We are really encouraging printed copies because this book is best in printed form. Would you mind emailing me so that I can email you back just as soon as we’ve made our decision in a few days? Thank you!!
I just pre-ordered! Will there be a follow up email with info on the $10 e-book/course credit?
Thanks!
Yes, you should have received an email. Did you get yours?
I did! It just took a little while (probably because of the way our email is set up).
Thank you so so much for all of your hard work on this and on your blog. It has been such a blessing to me and my family!
Just ordered a copy for a friend that doesn’t use Paypal…Already ordered one for myself!
Can’t wait for us to get our books!! : )
Just ordered a copy and I am very excited!! I think this will help me use more recipes instead of having to use the computer so much.
Just ordered mine!! THANK-YOU!!!!
I got my book this afternoon and it is amazing….For Real!
I have already read it cover to cover and I will be in the kitchen tomorrow. I’m so excited. I will be recommending this book to all my friends. For Real!
Thank you so much!
preordered and super excited, can’t wait til it gets here! WOO HOO!
Hello,
We moved into our new home and are halfway unpacked, now I’m about to treat myself by ordering your book! Since my credit card has a separate address (billing) than my current address (shipping), it wouldn’t go through. I didn’t see a separate option for a shipping address. Please advise :) I know I may have to wait until I update my address.
Thanks!
I just changed my address with my creditor and it went through. Can’t wait to receive it in the mail! God Bless you and yours XO
Just wanted to thank you for compiling and PRINTING in a desirable format your best tips and recipes! So many Godly women have great things to share, but they often piece-meal it via e-books that have just never been user-friendly or complete enough. Having a printed version of your practical wisdom will be useful and something that will not be forgotten due to its inaccessibility. Blessings!
Hi Laura,
As follow-up, I received your new book, For Real, and was so pleased after reading it through. We have the same methods, but what I was lacking were good recipes using whole foods. So many of mine are my adaptations of recipes calling for AP flour, and they just aren’t the same.
I tested my first two recipes of yours–Crispy Baked Chicken using your Ranch Dip Mix and your Fudgy Brownies. I have tried both of these from other sources before–big fails! BUT, yours were a hit! My Wonderbread-raised hubby was reluctant to even try the brownies. He looked at me skeptically and asked, “Do they have whole wheat?” I admitted that they did, and he waited until the children started raving about them to give them a try. He was won over.
I love the simple way that you organized the information, making clear in which recipes each mix could be used, and giving clear instructions with each recipe, including freezing and reheating. I can’t wait to try more. Job well done!
can your book be ordered for an Ebook or to download it to my kindle? I do not have room to store many books & would love an electronic version, if available.
Lori
If you would like to email me (laura at heavenlyhomemakers.com) we can discuss purchase of a download option. :)
I am saving for this book! It may take me 6 months of putting back a few dollars a month to get it, but I will own this book! My family loves (almost) every single one of your recipes that I try and it would be great to have them all in one spot!
I would really love to buy your book but have had multiple bad experiences with Paypal and refuse to do business through them anymore. Is there any other way to purchase the book?
Several have sent me a check and we’ve made it work that way. Email me (laura at heavenlyhomemakers.com) if you want to do that. :)
Am I still able to order this? I have finally (through a gift) been able to save enough money to order this and I was wondering if it was still available.
Oh yes, this book will be available to order at all times. We have plenty in stock right now! :)
hi, just wanted to say i got my book yesterday! After while of following your blog and printing out the recipes for my family (the love them all), its wonderful to have everything bound in one book. You are a real inspiration. I appreciate how much time it must have taken out of your already full schedule to produce this book. Thank you.
I really wanted to buy your book but I dont have a paypal account and it wont accept my debit card. :(
No problem! Email me and we’ll work something out. (laura at heavenlyhomemakers.com)
I wanted to purchase your e-book, but I need to know if you ship to APO boxes. It looks like a great resource for our newfound attitude towards better eating.
Blessings,
Sure do! :)
Hi Laura, I was wondering if you’re still considering offering your book as an eBook? I ask because I’ve recently reclaimed a whole cupboard in my kitchen by transferring all my favorite recipes to electronic copies, and I prefer to read books on a Kindle these days. I didn’t think it would happen to me, but it did ;)
We believe that the printed book is a much better option, so we aren’t advertising the download version. BUT, if you email me, we can work out a way to get it to you. :)
Hi Laura!
I just bought the Ebook overload. I am wondering if this is much of the same in recipes, or are they different? I am considering ordering this one as well, but wouldnt want to if all the recipes are the same.
Thank you for your time and resources!
Blessings!
Emily
Some of the recipes are the same, but for the most part, there isn’t much overlap. Plus, the information shared in the book is all different from those ebooks. This book shares how I get it all done, how I make food ahead, how I use the same recipes to make several different dishes…
Hope that helps answer the question!
Laura,
I would like to get this for my ddaughter for a Christmas present, however, when i go to checkout it only has PayPal. I don’t have PayPal. Is there some other place i can get this book?
If you’d like, you can send me a check. Email me at laura at heavenlyhomemakers.com for my address. Thank you!
Hi – My husband is gluten-free, dairy-free. Are any of your recipes GF, DF or at least GF? I’m always looking for more options. :)
Thanks so much!
I would like to buy a copy of this for a friend of mine (I already have a copy and LOVE it!) for Christmas, but I am wondering how long it will take for it to ship out. Do you think I would have it in the next week to week and a half?
Yes, if you order today, we can get it out tomorrow, which should get it there in plenty of time. :)
Is the link still good to order a book? I just wanted to verify because it looks like it but the website changes to ejunkie or something like that and I am so leary of things on the internet sometimes.
Definitely understand being leery. :) Yes, that is a valid link. Ejunkie is the site I use for purchase transactions in my shop. :)
How useful would this book “Oh, For Real” be for someone that has to eat gluten free?
I would say about half the recipes do have wheat in them, but are very basic type recipes that can be adapted easily. Otherwise, all the tips and information in the book applies to everyone, no matter what your dietary restrictions are. :)
I just wanted to let you know that I adore your cookbook. I ordered it about 2 years ago and have been using it since. I love that the recipes are so simple my 11 year old can make them without any help from me. I love that there are only a few ingredients – SO SIMPLE! Love, love, love it. Thank you.
Charity
