Well, here it is Monday. I’m not sure if you’re already closed this but if not, count me in! I think my morning granola email should count as my comment.

I would love to read this book – since making our household gluten-free and mostly organic/natural/whole foods, I am spending a fortune on food, 3-5 times more $ than before – I’d love any tips or advice for buying on a budget without compromising healthfulness. Thanks too, for your awesome blog. I enjoy reading your perspective on things!

I have been buying organic when I can, but I really want to incorporate more real foods, whole foods, and not blow my budget. I would love to hear the ideas in this book. Thanks.

I guess I am just taking baby steps. We bought a 1/4 cow with my parents from a local family. That makes me feel good. I am slowly trying to eat out less (which will allow more room in the budget for groceries.) Would love to learn more from the book.

I love Stephanie’s site and I’d love to win a copy of her new book! I stumbled upon your blog from Kelly the Kitchen Kop. We have been moving more and more toward real food over the past couple of years. We spend a lot of money on food. My goal is to start making things from scratch (instead of buying them already made) -one item at a time. I’ve mastered some yummy soaked muffins, grinding wheat for pancakes and replacing store bought bread (which is SO expensive if you buy the good stuff).

What an inspiring message! I would love to learn more about how to do this! I’m just starting to eat more real foods and really struggling, and would love this great resource!

This book sounds great! I’ve started menu planning which has made a huge difference when 4 o’clock comes around and I wonder, “What should I make for dinner tonight?” I’ve started buying more organic food and making healthier options for my family. These are all little things that will add up, I hope. I’m sure this book can take my family even further along the eating healthier route. Thanks for the opportunity to win it.

Looks like a great book. I have no “real food” journey, but I’ve always felt that moderation was the key to eating healthy. I cook most of our foods from scratch (including yogurt) because they simply taste better. But I also buy a lot of packaged foods for the kids’ lunches. I try to get my kids to eat a varied diet, and we frequently talk about a good meal having many different colors (naturally of course) from fruits, veggies, meats, etc.

I’d love to win this book because my food budget keeps getting bigger and bigger (and our income keeps getting smaller…).

I’ve totally lost my taste for junk now. Even the smell grosses me out. I feel so totally victorious!

We went organic and from-scratch and we save a boatload. Packaged and processed is NOT cheaper, and hurts everyone in the long run by taking $ away from organics (keeping those costs high) and contributing to bad business ethics and health costs.

What’s amazing is that after a few months of eating this way you really can’t stomach the fast, cheap stuff anymore. The hardest bit is to begin.
