***Amy, here. I’ve got some great guest posts lined up to help me out in the next few weeks since I’m a bit busy these days. 
Welcome to Kelly, the Kitchen Kop!***
First of all, congratulations Amy on your precious new baby boy!
I’m excited that Amy has asked me to tell you all about the new Real Food for Rookies class, but first, I’ll introduce myself in case you’ve never visited my blog, Kelly the Kitchen Kop.
I write mostly about “politically incorrect” health & nutrition topics, which means if it’s something you’ve always heard was “good for you”, then I’ll likely disagree. After hours and hours of research, I’ve realized more than ever that it’s true: money talks. The bottom dollar influences “studies” more than any of us can fathom.
Here’s are some examples of common myths you may have always believed:
- “Saturated fats are bad for you.” Right? Wrong. In this class I am most excited to blow that theory to smithereens and help you learn why butter, whole milk, coconut oil, and other traditional fats are not only good for us, but necessary for good health. (Guess what else? They actually help you lose weight, too.)
- “Red meat causes heart disease.” Nope. I’ll teach you how to find meat that is not harmful to your heart, and that actually helps you become healthier as you fill up on nutrient-dense meats from animals out on pasture, the way they were meant to be raised. You eat what they eat and it makes all the difference.
- “We can trust the FDA to keep our food supply safe.” No again. I’ll show you how to avoid the hidden junk in our food that is making many of us overweight and sick.
Those are just 3 examples of the kind of posts you’ll find on my blog and what I’ll go into great depth about in the upcoming class.
There’s more…
- You’ll see videos at my favorite farms and learn how to choose healthy meat, dairy and produce for your family.
- I’ll show how I make some favorite recipes in my own kitchen, and how easy it is to adapt any recipe to get rid of the junk, and increase the nutrients in the foods you feed your family.
- You’ll hear audio interviews with real food experts Sally Fallon Morrell (author of Nourishing Traditions), Dr. Kaayla Daniel (author of the Whole Soy Story), Tom Naughton (Fathead filmmaker), and many more!
- Find out which sweeteners to use and learn some batch-baking tips to save time.
You can read a lot more at this link about the Real Food for Rookies class (or sign up!), and see a video where I explain more reasons you’ll want to take this class.
Lastly, you may want to watch this video of my teenage son and I at the grocery store. I dragged him along to be my cameraman and his love of junk food shines through!
