More on The Family Camping Handbook
If you’ve always wanted to try camping as a frugal family vacation but are nervous because you have little ones, whether they’re babies, toddlers, or preschoolers, The new Family Camping Handbook will show you how to survive and even thrive out in the woods with young children. You can bring your babes and your real food, too!
Kitchen Stewardship in the Big Woods: A Family Camping Handbook with Real Food Options gives an overview of how to get started camping, what to bring, the proper campin’ attitude, and of course, real food adaptations to standard camping fare.

More on Healthy Snacks to Go
People often tell me they go back to Healthy Snacks to Go again and again. With over 30 45 healthy snack recipes including traditional granola bars, iron-packed Popeye bars, and a dozen 15 “larabar” style variations, you won’t go hungry when you’re on the go.
You’ll love the recipe adaptations, simple instructions, and best of all, the delicious treats you can make when you join 2500 other purchasers and make real food on the go a love affair instead of a stressor.

Whole grain or no grains, real maple syrup or just less white sugar, vegetables in your desserts or better-than-the-store: no matter what you’re looking for to indulge your sweet tooth, you’ll find it in Smart Sweets. From brownies to coconut macaroons, the astounding number of variations on each recipe make this a book that really has almost 100 recipes, ready for even the novice baker to tackle and enjoy.

You’d have to skip a recipe or two, but almost all the recipes have sugar-free adaptations (you can use honey?), more than half are naturally gluten-free and others have been adapted easily by GF readers and reviewers, and many are dairy free, or could be by subbing coconut oil for butter. If you buy it and don’t think enough recipes apply to your family’s needs, I’m happy to offer a full refund. I think you’ll love the power bars, the centerpiece of the book, which are everything-free!

Katie – I’m really looking forward to your bean book. Have you considered putting together an ebook on “Everything Soaked”? Focusing on grains, it could include anything/everything from muffins to pancakes to rice to oatmeal. Just a thought. For those of us who are just dipping the toe into soaking, having one centralized location would be fabulous! Not like you need another thing to do, right?
We have both of your current ebooks and I can’t stop recommending them.

I’m actually considering ending the soaking grains series with a soaked recipe carnival and asking the bloggers if I can compile their recipes into a free ebook for my readers…so it’s a definite maybe!

So, I am new to this whole eBook thing…is this an online recipe book or is it a real book? I am coming from Kinda Crunchy Kate’s blog and she also sent me a link you did on 2 paradigms of healthy eating….I was blown away, definitely finding myself in that first category. So, I am eager to get your recipes
, but live in Scotland…so just trying to figure out how it all works.
Thanks,

The ebook comes as a PDF download, so it’s all on your computer (no international shipping). It is formatted for printing and putting in a 3-ring binder, so it can become a “real book” pretty easily too. Hope that helps you decide, and enjoy the recipes!

Hi to Katie! I just had to let you know how much I am LOVING your beans book. I cannot believe how fantastic these recipes are working out. I have so far made the brownies (delicious! who’da thunk it?) the Tuscan Bean Soup, and the Mexican Black Bean Burgers. Wow wow wow. I was very impressed with these burgers. Dare I say I almost preferred them to a regular beef or chicken burger??!!! Coming from a former professional baker and cook turned stay at home mom, you have compiled an invaluable new cookbook for me and my family. Keep up the amazing work!

I’ve bought your Everything Beans, Healthy Snacks and now, Smart Sweets. I must say, I have not had one recipe that my family has not LOVED. That collection is my go-to for cooking (making the cheesy white chicken chili with leftover turkey tonight). They are FABULOUS! Everything you suggest is spot-on. I made the black bean brownies for my grain-free friend at Thanksgiving and she loved it. She begged me for the recipe. I’m so thankful for your site and your e-books. Our lives (and diet) have changed…. Thank you, Katie!

Hi Katie — We have a nut and egg allergy in our house and I was wondering if there would be enough nut-free (or adaptable to egg free) recipes in your ebook to be worth purchasing for us?
Thanks!
