Giveaway: Menu Mailer and Recipe Archive Package

by KerryAnn Foster on October 19, 2011 · 120 comments

CTF has launched a Real Food Challenge and link up for bone broth information and recipes that runs through Valentine’s Day. Come join us!

I promised on the CTF Facebook page that I would do another big giveaway when we hit 4,000 fans. So here we are!

One winner of this giveaway will receive a 52-week subscription to both the Menu Mailer and the Recipe Archive. One runner-up will receive a 13-week subscription to the Menu Mailer.

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. 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.

Debbie October 19, 2011 at 11:08 am: I need to win this because we are relatively new to traditional foods (less than 6 months) and I’m at a loss on most days on what to have and sometimes how to prepare meals or how to incorporate fermented foods into our meal plan and well, tons of other stuff. I’m a former coupon queen, who bought loads of processed food for next to no money. Last winter, we ate a lot of Tyson or Hormel pre-cooked roasts, Betty Crocker instant potatoes and microwave in the bag veggies. Now, since I’m buying real food, I’m finding that it is taking up quite a bit of our budget, leaving little for extras – like a subscription to the menu mailer.

Doula Brandi October 19, 2011 at 12:08 pm: I’ve been in a food rut for the longest time, probably because my previous subscriptions have run out! Gosh, I can’t remember how long I’ve been doing Traditional style foods, probably around 5 years. I think that my favorite dish would have to be the Moroccan beef with all those spices, so worth the effort!

Erica October 24, 2011 at 4:56 pm: I have gotten pretty good at making bone broths but still struggle with everyday dinners.

Patricia Campbell October 24, 2011 at 10:18 pm: I would love to win this because I’ve been working on incorporating traditional foods into our life for many years – more than 30 years, and I still need help. It’s even more important to me now because of family illnesses that I know traditional foods will help.
Patricia Campbell October 24, 2011 at 10:20 pm: I already follow CTF on Facebook.

And I’d love to win because our whole family became gluten-free in the last year, and I’m mostly casein-free and it’s very difficult for me to maintain staying away from both those things (and I stay away from soy).

Thanks!
Melinda Corey October 24, 2011 at 11:50 pm: Though we’ve been working on cooking TF and gluten-free for years, we just started doing your meal plans last week when I went back to work FT…we LOVE it already! It helps us so much – saving money by not buying food we don’t need, trying new foods, incorporating foods like broth in new and different ways…awesome!

Barbara October 26, 2011 at 10:41 am: I’ve been following CTF for about 1 year. My favorite recipe is the bone broth. I didn’t know how healthy it was! I’d like to win because while I was raised on traditional home cooking I fell into a rut making the same old meals and you’ve opened my eyes and taught me new things; like the bone broth. I eat mostly organic due to health issues and keeping meal choices vast now helps keep us out of the old rut. Thanks for opening eyes to the delights of REAL home cooking and like I tell my family and friends “Say NO to prepackaged meals! and YES to home cooking!”

Soccy October 28, 2011 at 8:16 pm: I would like to win the menu mailer because my husband has recently found out that he cannot tolerate gluten. I’ve been working toward traditional foods for about 2 yrs now and just got the hang of soaking grains, making my own bread products and having a pretty good TF menu plan. Now with the gluten problem, everything has changed. I need some help navigating the new foods and different ways to prepare them. Right now I’m cooking food for us and food for him and it’s expensive and tiring. I need some help.
