Conquering Your Kitchen, the next Untrained Housewife Guide, is finally here! You’re going to love this one – if you’ve ever walked into the kitchen an hour before dinner and thought, “What now?” this is the book for you.
You know I’ve been working so hard on preparing this book and love how well Annemarie explained how to work in the kitchen with confidence. As she always does for the Untrained Housewife community. Over the last ten years and five kids, I have learned a lot and become a great deal more confident in the kitchen when I look back on where I came from when I first got married. But reading through this book as I prepared it for publication taught me so much more and I cannot wait to implement what I’ve learned.
The lack of kitchen confidence I had when I first got married is actually what began the Untrained Housewife website in the first place. So helping to produce this book feels very full circle. And now it’s your turn to take the next step with Conquering Your Kitchen!
We have some amazing prizes we are giving away for our book launch celebration – over $900 worth!
Check out the rafflecopter below as we are giving away TWO (2) prize packs:

I’m terrible in the kitchen, so I’m honestly looking forward to learning everything in this book! You’d think after 5 years of marriage I’d have some things figured out but I still just kind of blunder around in there and hope it turns out edible. 😉

creating new snacks for the family to enjoy

That was probably the best chapter in my opinion – the snacks chapter was SO helpful. Snacks are where my family falls if we eat something unhealthy.

I always need help with my food budget and planning! I just tend to go, buy stuff, and run out of money at the end of the month. No good at all!

Peggy McQuaid says
Thanks in advance for not just another ordinary cookbook. After being married over 50 years, it’s still a wonderful thing for me to find some new and exciting recipe – or a better way to do something – or a new way to repurpose/reuse something I’ve had in the kitchen forever. Or maybe it’s time to retire it in favor of a better utensil/appliance/device/whatever. Can’t wait to give this book to my grandchildren who are newly married. When I married I’d never cooked a meal. So I had lots of failures – and some of those stories have now become family traditions :>) Have really enjoyed the website. Lots of good ideas there. Keep up the good work so we can perpetuate a healthier future for our families.
AngEngland says
You’re welcome! I definitely had “new bride panic” or “new mom panic” in mind when planning this title. I think it’s the perfect wedding gift to help someone feel empowered in the kitchen.
Our family has a failure-tradition-inside-joke also….Pepper Soup. I am the proud creator of Pepper Soup so spicy my dad couldn’t even eat it.
Caryl DeHerrera says
This is Awesome! Thank you for the opportunity I need organization and quick meals as I’m a caregiver for my brother who is a quadriplegic on a ventilator. I also have a family so I’m pressed for time in the kitchen.
Thank You
Caryl
Katy says
M interested in the “Snack Time” chapter. I’d love how to make protein bars, and the muffins look yummy too!
AngEngland says
The snack time was one of my favorite chapters too and will probably earn me back the cost of the book in the first month. My kids are ALWAYS hungry it seems and having GOOD snacks on hand for them feels like a huge win.
Betty says

Carlysa says
I really like the purpose of your book. I too spent a lot of time learning as I went along. I think there are others who have found this to be their plight having been brought up in homes where fast food and take out was a staple. Those families had to do it to survive. The dilemma of the two power career family.
Good Luck and God Bless!
