I have been so thankful to receive feedback on the cookbook! Here are a few testimonies I’ve put together from people who are loving Oh, For Real: Real Food, Real Family, Real Easy…

Karen:  Mine came in the mail today, much to my excitement. All other responsibilities had to come to a grinding halt while I took some time to look through it. I’m so glad you put in lovely photos for almost every recipe! I’ve already used so many of these recipes from your website and it will be SO NICE to be able to access them now in this lovely cookbook. Thank you ever so much!

Gina:  I got my book yesterday and was so excited. I have already read it most of the way through. I made a couple of recipes already. PS. I have already broke it in by getting a spatter on it.

Samantha:  When I got home from seeing you I put my daughter down for her nap and read the entire thing! I couldn’t put it down!! Thank you again!

Jean:  Got my cookbook yesterday and love it, I love it, I love it!!! I like the way that each recipe highlights where to look for the highlights in blue and then go right to the page and there’s the recipe. I was going to organize the ones that I have printed off your website, but now I won’t have to go to all of that work – it’s already done for me. Thanks so much!!!

Yvonne:  I have to say I was extremely excited that you decided to write a recipe book. Our family has been enjoying so many of your meals, but I hated to have the computer in the kitchen with me while I cooked, and didn’t want to write all those recipes down by hand. Anyway, I anxiously waited for your book to come in the mail. I have to say, my expectations were very high. When I opened the package yesterday, all I can say is “WOW”! Your book exceeded my expectations by leaps and bounds! It is so beautifully put together! Thank you! Thank you! You have really inspired me to cook and bake again!

Sarah:  I got my copy today! I’m so super excited!! It’s beautiful! And it has all the best stuff from your website all in one easy to use place. Thanks so much for all you share with us!!

Fletcher:  I just had to say thank you for your wonderful cookbook!! It came on Monday and my daughter sorted through ALL of the mail before she opened the package and started flipping through the cookbook. (We were on the way to guitar lesson and I was driving – it wasn’t fair, but she is my sous chef). We both starting oohing and ahhing over the recipes. I’m thrilled to finally have your tortilla recipe! We recently started making them from scratch, but I’ve been hoping and praying that your recipe was in the cookbook :)

Tara H:  I got your book a couple days ago. I absolutely love it! It is wonderful to have it in print! I like having a kindle app full of books but truth is, I usually don’t get around to reading them. Love, love, love all of the info in your book! It’s totally worth the price!

This Hearty Green Bean Casserole has become one of my favorites to fix for my family. It is a “one dish meal”, with meat and veggies in it. Plus, it freezes well, to be reheated quickly when needed. It’s a perfect meal for a busy night! This is one of the new recipes featured in Oh, For Real!

    Oh yummy – I’ve never thought about putting meat in my green bean casserole. Looking forward to more recipe ideas.

    I received mine last week and have been driving my husband crazy with talk of plans for revamping our kitchen/diet.
    Yesterday my oldest daughter (8) and I stewed up 2 chickens, made about 5 lbs of hash browns, made oatmeal cookies and granola bars to take to church last night, and put together several of the seasoning mixes. We had such a great time together! Today is round 2…

    Just ordered the book! So excited to look through it once it arrives. I have used many recipes of yours and I think it will be a great asset to my home to have a print copy of this resource.

    Wait…so your email on the text “Hearty Green Bean Casserole” links me here, but I have to buy the book to get the recipe? :-(

      I’m not sure why you would be unhappy with what Laura did with this link. I think that she is more than generous in her offer of free things. I find her funny, refreshing, and generous in what she give out free. This site is not free for her to run. I find her very gracious; I’ve never been asked
      to pay for what I have enjoyed from her site.

        Following Laura, her recipe links have always (for me, until now) taken me to a recipe. I am not going to quit following her because of this. I would expect that to be the case for the link I clicked today.

        I find it odd that the highlighted recipe name, which usually links to a recipe, today links to a page that does not contain the recipe. It made me sad that I could not view the recipe at the link, so I put a sad face.

        I also think she is generous & never stated otherwise.

    You can see the Hearty Green Bean Casserole recipe in the sample preview of the Oh For Real Book here…

    I was confused once when I clicked a blue link for tortillas and it took me to the store ordering page. Glad to see that the recipe for those is in this book.

    Everything looks yummy! I just ordered my book, can’t wait to get it!

    I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Laura’s website and all the wonderful help she gives me!!
