Giveaway: One Year Menu Mailer Subscription Package

Email, RSS Follow

We hit 5,000 Facebook fans yesterday, so it’s time to host a giveaway! One winner of this giveaway will receive a 52-week subscription to both the Menu Mailer and the Recipe Archive. The Menu Mailer can be either the Australian or the United States version.

The Menu Mailer

The Menu Mailer covers five dinners (including side dishes), one breakfast, one soup and one dessert every week. It contains a full menu, shopping list, a preparation plan, and serving suggestions for each meal. Tips and information are included in every mailer as well. Ingredients are seasonal for the United States or Australia, your choice.

What makes the Cooking Traditional Foods menu mailer unique? A preparation schedule is included with every menu mailer. It reminds you when to thaw the meat, prep the crock-pot, or soak the grains. Because lack of planning is a major hurdle in getting healthy meals on the table, this schedule helps you make sure everything is done. It also contains blanks so you can write in your own reminders for breakfast, snacks and lunches.

The Cooking TF Menu Mailer has the option for every meal to be gluten and/or casein free, so those with food allergies or who are new to having to cook for someone with allergies do not have to convert the recipe. It also contains suggestions for gluten and casein free brands on each shopping list to assist those new to allergy cooking.

The Recipe Archive

The Recipe Archive is a compilation of all of the recipes that have been posted to Cooking Traditional Foods website and old blog. All recipes are labeled for gluten and casein content, so allergic users can see at a glance which recipes might work for them. There are currently over 500 recipes archived in this collection.

  3. I have followed you on Facebook for sometime but- after reading your history and realizing that many of the health issues you’ve battled parallel mine, I have opted to go gluten free and have been working to transform my kitchen to a more of a Traditional kitchen where at least my dinners are prepared Traditionally 🙂 I’m a work in progress, but your blog and FB posts are helping me on my journey!

  4. I have been doing traditional foods for 5 years but have never been “good”. In other words to much compromise, I would love to win the Menu Mailer to help me get better.

  14. I went to forum to sign up – evidently I already did – forgot about the forum. Now I am going to go play around on the forum 🙂

  17. Would love to win because my husband does most of the cooking since the baby arrived & he is bored of the GF, CF dishes he makes me. I think they’re delicious, especially the meats but he prefers some variety and feels limited by my limits.

  18. I subscribe to all the above. Been doing TF almost 2 years. Started during chemo…when I realized I was literally being poisioned.

  21. I’d love to have one less thing to do in the week and this would be a tremendous help in that aspect. We’ve been baby stepping trad foods for about 2 years maybe . I don’t know what my fav is, I’ll have to give that some thought.

  27. would love to win this, be going more natural for about a year & still lots of learning to be done! This would be perfect.

  32. I would love to win–I’ve only been doing traditional foods for a few months and I think that the mailer would ne very helpful to me

  38. We’ve been eating healthier for about 6 or 7 years now and I’m always learning more! One of our favorite foods here is sweet potatoes….yum! My 12 year old son makes an incredible twice-baked sweet potato recipe…..how fortunate we are!

  48. I would love to win the giveaway! I have been cooking TF for about a year but I work and it would be wonderful to not have to think about what is for dinner.

  55. Tell me why you wish to win, how long you’ve been doing traditional foods or about your favorite traditional foods meal/dish/recipe.

    Really, I wish everyone could win! I think what you are doing is fantastic! What a wonderful service to women! I’ve been doing REAL foods since i got pregnant with my first baby. Figured he deserved the best! Ooooo a favorite? I just love food as long as it grows from the ground or is living in some way. Under the ocean, in the sky, out of the ground. Yum!

  61. Because I love your recipes! For the ones we have tried, I have about a 80% ‘this is great’, 15% ‘good but don’t make it a regular’, and 5% ‘total flop’ that I know I did something wrong…so I’m going to try them again. We’ve been eating better for about 4 years and with your Back to Basics book my menu planning is way easier (I plan based on what we have vs. following your plan because we have a big amount stored.) Thanks so much for your help!

  62. I have been following a traditional foods diet for a few months now. Our favorite recipe has been a chicken tikka masala that is incredible!

  63. I’d like to win b/c I’m always looking for new recipes to try. I love trying out different things and it’s a pain to sift through all the processed food recipes. We started transitioning to traditional foods about 2 yrs ago, I think.

  69. I have only been cooking traditional foods for about six months. Still learning – taking baby steps now into fermenting. The mailers would be very helpful to me.

  74. I would LOVE to win. I’ve used a menu mailer in the past, but now that we are gluten free and dairy free, we no longer find it very useful. I’d love one that focused on more traditional foods, like yours! Thanks so much!!

  78. One of my favorite TF recipes is what I had for lunch today… cornbread made with masa harina and bacon grease, refried pinto beans with coconut oil and spices, shredded cheese and diced onions. Yummy.

  83. I have been doing Traditional foods for a couple of years now. I was a previous subscriber to the menu mailer and still use them. I would love a new subscription so we could try even more of your wonderful recipes.
    And we LOVE your Pan Seared Chicken thighs recipe!

  86. Hi there! I have been making the crossover to traditional foods over the past 6 months now and still needing all the help I can get. 🙂

  88. I subscribe to the newsletter (and apparently I post comments too quickly… LOL) 🙂

  90. We have been a true traditional foodie for 2 years now. I am in a rut with dinners and a procrastinater with preparation! Would love your menu mailer to get us rolling again!

  91. I have done some traditional foods, but am very interested in fresh ideas for new ones to try. I would love the menu mailer for a breath of fresh air in our menus.

  98. i wanna win to learn to save time cooking and planning… i’ve been doing traditional foods (still learning).. for about 3 years… changed eating (still changing) about 7 years ago.

  102. I’d like to win the giveaway because my daughter is sick with food allergies and my son shows signs of having food sensitivities as well. I’ve never really cooked with traditional foods before but I know our diet needs to change quickly but I have no idea where to start!

  103. I would like to win a free year’s subscription because I’m just starting out in the traditional foods arena. I’m overwhelmed with where to begin and keep going in circles. I think I need to start little and gradually build on that. Thanks for the chance to win this. It would be a great help!

  107. I’ve been eating traditional foods for over a year but we tend to get off track. The menus would be a great tool to keep us focused!

  111. I started cooking traditional foods when i found your website this past september. I was researching diets for my children who have learning differences and autism. I really want to win a year long subscription because I can not wait to see your menus in the spring and summer! This winter has been so enjoyable in the kitchen and at the table! My favorite recipe so far is the Crock-Pot Italian Chicken. When I was putting ingredients in I thought surely it would be horrible, 3/4 cup of oil! I re-read it twice! Well was I surprised, It is divine! My husband and I love that simple yet delicious stew!

  122. I been cooking traditional foods forever. Its the foods i was raised on. Now that I have become more health conscience, I’m unlearning the bad way to cook them,a find trying to find a better way. In our family a traditional meal would be collard greens. I no longer use the fat back to season them, I use veggie broth and morning star bacon. One of our holiday favorites now.
    So i just stumbled on to your blog from another blog. I subscribed via email. I thought great just what I need to help me on my journey to better health.

  132. We’ve been on TF since November. It’s still a daily challenge to keep everyone in the family fed.

  137. I just started TF cooking a month ago. So far all the cooking my family has been disgusted with EXCEPT as a recent Menu Mailer subscriber they are all RAVING about your recipes. So far they are devouring the food I made with your recipes. My hubby is the biggest critic, as well as a 5 year old and picky GAPS 2 year old. Thank you for your service, I love it!

  144. We’ve been eating traditional foods for about 5 years. We began out of necessity when we lived in a foreign country and and didn’t have many processed food readily available. At that point I had to ask someone how to make pancakes from scratch- how embarrassing! I”d love the menu mailer because now that we are back in the states, we are still largely traditional food eaters, but I get lazy sometimes or we get stuck in a rut with our menu.

  150. I have been trying to follow a traditional food diet for about 6 years. I have skin issues which I am thinking is gluten related as it gets better when I go low carb. I try to go gluten free but last year I had to go back to work and have gotten way off track. I need more gluten free options which is what led me to your site to begin with, just can’t afford it at this time. Would love to win the menu mailer and access to recipe archive so I can get my skin issues cleared up.

  157. I subscribe to your newsletter. Thanks for all of your hardwork…makes my life easier! 🙂

  161. My family has been trying to to TF for a few years, but between health problems, stress issues, and financial setbacks, we have not been able to make it a lifestyle yet!

  164. i would love to win this! i’ve been incorporating more and more traditional foods over the past year or so but i still have a lot of trouble planning dinners. this would be wonderful!

  167. I signed up for your newsletter today RIGHT BEFORE i saw the giveaway blurb! my motives were so pure! 🙂 i am so excited to find your website and have help planning toward my family’s better nourished lifestyle. i would very much so like to sign up for your menu planner (if i don’t win the giveaway), but am on a bottom puckering budget, so we’ll see…

  168. Love the facebook connection, and signed up for email newsletter. Thanks for all you do. Would really appreciate a Menu Mailer subscription! Best wishes!

  169. As you know, I am relatively new to all this. Having this would help me to get things really moving in the right direction.

  177. I subscribed to the Menu Mailer and Recipe Archive back when you first started it and would love to receive it again. Some of our family’s favorite recipes are ones we got from the menu mailer, including Bourbon Chicken and Rice Biryiani.

  182. Hi Kerry,

    I already subscribe to your blog and already liked your CTF on fb and just Liked your TF on a budget page. Would love to win this menu mailer. I already make my own cultured veggies, coconut kefir and do alot of the fermenting, etc. Just need direction on making the full meals and know this menu mailer would be the ticket. it’s just me and the boys and need to be able to eat obviously on a budget. Thanks for all your time and effort. Elizabeth

  183. i have been doing tf for about 6 years now and have in the past subscribed to the mailer and LOVED IT!
    thanks for the giveaway ka!

  186. I am new to traditional foods. I am trying to eat healthier and cook healthier to help my son who has high functioning autism. I have been following on facebook for a while now and really enjoy it.

  189. I recently subscribed to Traditional Foods, I was recommended to try this website by Lydia Shatney. I do not have a favorite recipe yet, but with 7 kids Im sure Ill find a few. I would love to win because…..well I need this, 7 kids has me pulled in all different directions, and I lack support and knowledge. I mean I know I shouldnt eat bad foods, but I do it anyway because no time, no money and not enough care I guess. Helping me with this would hopefully prepare myself for better lifestyle and more time for my kids.

  199. I want to win because I’m new to traditional cooking (2 weeks!) and I could really use some help! Thanks!

  208. I just ordered a menu mailer. I need to go get the ingredients to make the recipes, but they look great!

  209. Hi I love your posts and would really love to get more organized and healthy in 2012 with my family!

  211. I would love to win your give away because this is the year I am going to start learning how to make traditional foods. We’ve always been pretty healthy but need to take it to the next level and your info is just what I need to begin doing it. Thank you for a great blog!

  212. I am a facebook fan of your site. Love all the good info and would love to be a part of the giveaway. Thank you:)

  214. Also, I have only recently started looking at how one cooks traditional foods, and I think the menu mailer would help tremendously with that.

  218. We’ve been “trying” to do Traditional foods for about 1.5 years,but I need a lot of help. Your menu mailer would certainly make it easier!
