Hi, I'm Wardee. I'm a wife, mom, grandma, and traditional cook in the Boise area of Idaho... and I'm the owner and lead teacher of Traditional Cooking School's Bible-based cooking program.

I have a quick question for you:

Did you know you can "eat what you want to eat" ...yet make it healthy *and* still taste good?

Do you want me to show you how... within the next week... you can be serving a healthy home-cooked meal that your kids and spouse declare is "the best EVER!" and also where you...

• are NOT confused any more about what to try or where to start because it all makes sense and lines up with God's word ...and you don't need a science degree to make sense of it
• feel like supermom or superdad :) ...instead of like you're letting God and your family down by serving yet another frozen pizza :(
• regularly dish up your family's favorite foods like mac-n-cheese, bread and butter, meat and potatoes, cinnamon rolls and cookies ...yet now made healthy according to God's design!
• get your spouse and kids BEGGING for seconds ...and they have no idea it's healthy for them!
• spend LESS time in the kitchen ...so you have more family time, 'Date Night' with your spouse, and your own down time, too!
• are starting to lose weight AND get your energy back ...from eating healthier yourself!

If you said yes, then keep reading... :)

Before I tell you more about this opportunity to work with me in our Bible-based cooking program... in case you've never heard of Traditional Cooking School before, here's a quick introduction.

About Traditional Cooking School

I'm the lead teacher and owner of Traditional Cooking School.

I help Christian families who know they should cook healthy for their family but don't know what to try or where to start... who don't want to spend hours in the kitchen and want their food to still taste great... like I was.

When I was a young mom with three children, we all had issues like food sensitivities and seasonal allergies, but it was especially bad with our third child, our son. He broke out in itchy red rashes all over his body within hours of birth.

The pediatrician gave us a steroid cream but I didn't want to use that because of the side effects. I got rid of all the grocery store cleaners, soaps, and lotions and replaced them with natural ones. That helped a little but still his rashes got worse and he itched so much the rashes bled. I felt like I was letting him and my family down... what was I doing wrong?

Then I learned about some old-fashioned cooking techniques (same ones the Bible mentions). They took less time and weren't as hard as I thought they might be. 

We still ate the family favorites we loved, like bread and butter, meat and potatoes, cinnamon rolls and cookies... just healthier!

The best part... within a few months, our son's rashes completely went away. 

It's been nearly 20 years now and my seasonal allergies are all cleared up, too, and the kids never got another ear or sinus infection. We rarely get colds or other illnesses. We have plenty of energy and our weight is stable, too. 

I've since devoted my life full-time to helping other Christian moms and dads cook healthy for their families through our Bible-based cooking program... without needing to spend hours in the kitchen or being afraid the scale will creep higher from all the good food!

Today our home is filled with so much joy. My husband and I both work from home. Over the years, we homeschooled all 3 kids, then our oldest daughter got married, and... today we have two grandsons visiting regularly, too. I couldn't be happier. <3

So... if you're a mom or dad who loves good food and it's also very important to you to glorify God in your entire life, even down to what foods you and your family choose to eat (not because of any rules but because you really love Him and want to glorify Him)...

...then I'm pretty sure you'll be interested in what I'm going to share on this page.

It's the process our students follow to make and eat yummy, hearty meals that are actually healthy ...  

• without spending hours in the kitchen
• without overwhelm or confusion
• where what they're eating lines right up with God's word
• and no crazy unsustainable diets

…because you can still eat bread and butter, steak and potatoes, cinnamon rolls, and cookies!

And by the end of this page, you'll understand exactly how our Bible-based cooking program can help you do this, too.

Food Heals

I think most people would agree that diet changes are our first and best defense against sickness and disease.

Food heals...

Yet, it's still really hard for most people to make meaningful and lasting changes in their diets. :(

Here are the common reasons people fail at eating healthy:

• there's so much conflicting information out there that we become paralyzed and find ourselves unable to take any real steps forward because we don't know what's "right" or even where to start... so we don't do anything!
• some diets seem so crazy and unsustainable... lots of weird, expensive ingredients and then the food tastes so horrible it's hard to last even a day ... much less the long haul!
• some diets don't make any sense with the Bible ...for instance, many years ago, my family tried the no animal food vegan diet but we gave it up because we felt it was contradictory to the Bible's command to eat meat ...not to mention that we didn't feel that great due to the nutritional deficiencies the vegan diet created in us that only animal foods could solve
• meal times turn into a fight... it's the mark of a happy family if everyone is smiling and asking for seconds, right? Yet if everyone's choking down the food, whining, or flat out refusing to take another bite... I don't know about you, but this mom (me) will turn to hearty meat and potatoes every time... because dinner is supposed to be joyful and peaceful and the food we eat goes a long way toward getting that!

The irony is that in our Bible-based cooking program, meat and potatoes are a staple healthy meal (as long as you prepare the right meat and potatoes).

And our program gives you a shortcut around all the difficulties I just mentioned, from making cooking simpler and more wholesome, to dinnertime being joyous again, while lining everything up with the Bible and God's plan for healthy cooking.

Step-by-Step Efficient Plan

Our Bible-based cooking program is a step-by-step efficient plan we've created to help Christian families get healthier while still eating what they want to eat...

...without wasting time, energy, or money on any of the crazy diets that most people end up quitting in just a few days!

I'm going to share the exact details and what makes our program so different other healthy cooking plans in just a minute, but first I want to share why our Bible-based cooking program works so well.

See, rather than you spending time sorting through recipes, books, and websites to figure out which approach you should take...

...and the info conflicts anyway....

...or wasting money on specialty ingredients you'll probably never use again...

...our Bible-based program protects your time, money, and energy and gives you simple methods to make the dishes you love healthier (and they still taste great).

And not only do the methods and meals line up with the Bible, many of our students lose weight and get off or reduce their medications, too. (However, we can't give medical advice so you'll definitely want to work with your doctor on that.)

So if all this sounds good to you... then keep reading, because I'm going to show you how to use our methods in your kitchen. 

The GNOWFGLINS Way

So to start out, let me explain that we eat and prepare foods according to the GNOWFGLINS way.

So many of our students get an 'aha' moment from learning and embracing GNOWFGLINS (g-NOWF-glinz) in their homes.

And by the way, even though it's a mouthful, no worries if your children end up saying "glow-muffins" or something like that... true story, one of our student's daughters called it that!

GNOWFGLINS is an acronym (created by my husband) that describes our process for delicious, healthy eating... 

It's given our family so much joy and healing... from food sensitivities, debilitating seasonal allergies, eczema, tummy troubles, and low energy.

And since we started eating this way (when our children were young), we hardly ever get sick... and our kids have never gotten a single ear infection or other infection since!

GNOWFGLINS combines ALL the keywords that you might find here or there in various books or resources: God's Natural, Organic, Whole Foods, Grown Locally, In Season

...and teaches you how to prepare those foods for the most nutrition and digestion.

GNOWFGLINS are what we eat, and we teach GNOWFGLINS and their preparation to others through our Bible-based cooking program at Traditional Cooking School!

To our knowledge, we are the first to put everything that's important about food together, starting with GOD, into a simple, step-by-step, week-by-week, healthy cooking program where you can still eat the dishes you love... only they're healthier...

...and you'll feel the joy of knowing you're honoring God and His design with every bite!

So if that's something you want... I'm going to walk you through the exact steps right now.

Whenever I help families with learning to cook healthy Traditional foods, we're very focused on the Bible and the methods used in Bible times… to honor God, yes, but also these foods turn out to be the healthiest and simplest to make anyway.

And even picky eaters tend to love the dishes, so it's just a huge win all around. :)

I want you to win at this, too, so here’s what we focus on if you want to join our group...

Step 1: What You're Going To Cook

In this first part of the GNOWFGLINS process, we have to figure out what you're going to cook. For most families I work with, they're sick of unsustainable fad diets and confused about which is the right one to follow.

The easiest way to solve this is to follow God's diet…. because the Bible lays out a bunch of very simple guidelines to get healthier and happier.

You see... everything we do, including what we cook and eat, needs to be anchored in truth and align with God's design.

We know that food is medicine, it's our nourishment, and that's by God's design.

Sure, there are diets out there that claim to be "healthy". But when we look closely, we can tell they're not consistent with God's Word.

For instance, take the vegan diet: a person eats no animal foods whatsoever.

Personally, we don't believe this is Biblical. And there's even scientific proof to back this up, such as nutritional deficiencies that can only be solved through animal foods.

So in this step #1 of our Bible-based cooking program (it's the "why" behind the "how"), we check in with the Bible to make sure the food itself or the method of preparing it lines up and makes sense with God's word, His plan, and His character.

Because, otherwise... what's the point?

If you want to live for God and yet are eating apart from His design, there's this feeling deep down inside that we're not being true to Him.

I know for me, before we started eating how I teach, I had a niggling feeling of guilt when I wasn't true to this step. Like I was letting my husband and kids down. 

I really, really dislike feeling this way. I want to do my best and I always know deep down whether or not God is happy with my choices and actions.

In this first part of the GNOWFGLINS process, you'll:

• select the healthiest ingredients for your dishes (meats, fats, grains, sweeteners, veggies, etc.)... 
  
  ...i.e. foods that are raised and grown according to God's design...
• avoid the pitfalls of the Standard American Diet ...non-nutritious "foods" that didn't exist prior to modern times when people were healthier ... like trans fats, white sugar, highly processed veggie oils, etc. ...
  
  ...because God didn't make these foods and eliminating them is essential for managing (or even healing) diabetes, weight gain, heart disease, inflammation, hormone imbalances, skin rashes, allergies, and more!

You'll have loads of simple, healthy, and delicious recipes, and you can still prepare all of your favorite dishes — you'll just make them healthier following God’s way!

And you'll know what ingredients you're going to buy (all simple, whole foods) and the methods you should use to cook the recipes.

A quick example of what you might experience when you follow a plan like this that's grounded in truth and God's design... Lisa got off all meds and is down 4 sizes!

If you want us to personally help YOU finally stick with healthy cooking (that lines up with God's word), please keep reading, because I'm going to explain more about how you can work with me in our Bible-based cooking program so it can help you and your family, too.

Step 2: Get Cooking!

The next part of GNOWFGLINS is where you get cooking... and take action to make your family healthier and happier.

There are a handful of Bible-based techniques that you'll need to know and I'll show them all to you.

These techniques are all simple and will make the recipes easy to prepare. Don't worry — you won't need to make a mess in the kitchen, following tons of steps or using a million bowls. ;)

This step is by necessity simple. Not only is this how I cook myself, I know that most people need simple or it's just not going to be doable day after day.

So in our Bible-based cooking program, we go through the fundamental skills (both how and why) of healthy cooking and I show you how to use simple Traditional Cooking methods to make the meals you love most as healthy as possible... so what you're eating doesn't cause tummy aches, reactions, nutritional deficiencies, or weight gain.

It'll surprise you how easy it is to cook everything God's way. And you'll be surprised by how much the whole family will love the food you're cooking (even the pickiest of eaters)...

All without you having to spend all day in the kitchen!

By the way, many of these methods are mentioned in the Bible!

And once you learn our simple traditional preparation methods, you can apply them to your favorite meals and dishes to make them more healthy, too!

Plus, I also share tons of recipes from my own home, like cinnamon rolls, fried chicken, and more.

I guide you through learning all the skills one week at a time. The simple skills build on each other... you'll discover and practice one skill, get comfortable with that one, then add the next.

Within the very first week, you will learn things to help you put healthy, home-cooked meals on the table that your family will LOVE to eat!

We all know it takes time to build habits, so in this step, we've created a path for you that doesn't go too fast or too slow. Like Goldilocks. :)

You go fast enough so you don't lose momentum. Yet without overwhelm or confusion because everything makes sense with the Bible and God's design for our health.

And at the same time, the simple step-by-step tutorials (both video and print) are at a doable pace. 

Instead of feeling overwhelmed and not being able to keep up, you will actually get there with your health goals!

For example, after starting with our program and following it week by week, Maureen started feeling better ...and she lost 100 pounds without even trying!

Many people often wonder whether this kind of food actually tastes good. The answer is yes it does!

No cardboard here! 

Our food tastes so good, my family doesn't feel the lack at all. And yet, we eat pretty much 99% healthy.

We have no need or desire to "break the diet"... because our food is that good.

It's no sacrifice to eat this way ...because we're not sacrificing!

(By the way, you'll get to experience even more of these recipes yourself in the weekly menu plans we give to our students.)

Step 3: Weekly Menu Planning

Third in the process, we'll look at your weekly meal planning, so you can put together everything you've learned so far.

This is where we'll make it easy for you to feed your family 3 square meals a day using your new traditional Bible-based cooking skills.

All without being overwhelmed by tons of steps or everything taking too much time!

I’ll give you ready-to-go weekly meal plans that will satisfy even the pickiest eater — all based on traditional Biblical methods.

These plans include shopping lists, prep steps, and my simpler way of doing things that will save you hours every week (we're always looking to keep things efficient!).

This will save you tons of time so everyone, including you, will be happy and healthy. :)

What Can You Expect?

Going through these 3 steps of the GNOWFGLINS process, most of our families find they spend less time in the kitchen and have way more time to enjoy their family life.

Hubby, kids, and grandkids ask for seconds... without realizing the food is healthy!

Even better, Mom and Dad tend to lose weight, get off medications, and find themselves with energy that lasts throughout the day, instead of dragging.

I'm not sure what all goodness is in store for you, but I'm excited to see what happens :)

Ready To Do This?

If you want to do this, you'll join our Bible-based cooking program and we'll work together for approximately 12 weeks going through our "Traditional Healthy Cooking 101" online class.

Here's how it works...

Each week, I'll give you 2 new lessons with a few videos (and printable documents) featuring simple whole food recipes you can practice and then add the winners to your recipe file!

My lessons will guide you step-by-step through everything you need to know about Bible-based cooking... including food shopping, pantry lists, and equipment and tools.

Plus, we’ll go through each food group one at a time (fats, meats, veggies, grains, etc.) as I share what you need to know to do things God’s way.

Also, I'll give you weekly menu plans, which you can use immediately or save for later (when you feel totally ready).

The best part — if you ever get stuck with a recipe or technique, I host weekly Office Hours Zoom calls for live troubleshooting. This is where you can get instant feedback on your sourdough, yogurt, or other traditional Bible-based methods. And I’ll take any other questions related to your healthy cooking. :)

You also get access to our private online community so you can ask questions or share your progress 24/7.

You have access to me, to our Bible-based cooking program, and to our community, a group of Christian families from around the world that are really invested in their families and honoring God in everything, even down to how they cook!

And if you finish on time... I'll give you a reward worth nearly $100! 

All this happens inside our Bible-based cooking program... where I'll be working closely with you because I love seeing other families getting happier and healthier with a Bible-based way of eating.

So I want to make sure you've got time to work on this over the next few weeks.

Total cost for the 12-week online class is $199 (just $66 per month, less than the cost of eating out for a family).

By the way, that works out to be less than the cost of dinner out for a family once a month. Score!

And as a result, most families have reduced doctor bills, are saving money over buying processed foods or eating out, and feel so much better that they get more done with their extra time and energy.

And, last but not least, they feel really good about honoring God with their cooking. Which is the whole point!

By the way, after the twelve weeks, if you want to continue with us (we have other classes you could go through after this one... they are listed below as your bonuses)... just keep your membership active.

The Difference It Makes...

Following this simple GNOWFGLINS process has helped 11,976 families actually succeed at preparing the healthiest (and most delicious) foods... and THIS ability often makes the difference between:

• worsening ...or managing (even healing) diabetes
• storing fat ...or losing fat
• suffering with tummy aches or rashes ...or having no reactions at all
• developing nutritional deficiencies or hormone imbalances that lead to feeling sluggish and dragging ...or being full of energy to tackle the day
• sinking further into disease ...or actually healing stubborn health conditions

I hope you can see by all the testimonials on this page, plain and simple, our Bible-based cooking program works...

If not for Traditional Cooking School, I would still be over 200 pounds...

"If not for Traditional Cooking School, I would be sitting in front of a television trying to get up energy to prepare foods at home. I would still be over 200 pounds and very depressed. (I have cut back on most all my medications and I’m breathing better and have better stamina.) My grandson would not be excelling in school as he is now and would not have the energy to play outdoors like he does. My son-by-love is working the farm and building our home and teaching me so much." ~Debbie L., Mansfield, MO

My son saw we're not just pulling the wool over his eyes LOL

"I was able to prepare a soup for our son that returned home from technical school & was not feeling so well. It is a better version of a bone broth soup than I had been preparing. After eating it, he saw me catching up on some TCS classes and realized that the video I was watching (Fundamentals II) had much of the info about healthy soups. He realized I wasn't just pulling the wool over his eyes. LOL I used Bone broth as the base, added parsley, ginger, garlic, onions, leeks, carrots, celery, turmeric, oregano, and a couple of small potatoes, letting it all simmer. Next, strained all of that, put in the Vitamix and back into the soup with a can of coconut milk. Tasted like healing! We classify your videos as "legitimate" videos!" ~Sheila B.

Just amazing...

"The Sourdough lessons have been just amazing. I had enjoyed baking with sourdough for over a year, but now I feel a new inspiration and love finding all the wonderful things that I can do." ~Millie C.

Food that heals and nourishes...

"You’ve shown me how to transform our food from something we eat into something that heals and nourishes our bodies. I love being able to prepare healthy foods with my family… Praise the Lord for His beautiful ways!" ~Michelle P.

 More TRUE answers!

"I love your videos and want more “TRUE” answers. I watch other videos with disappointing information, I only watch yours now! I’ve learned after my Cancer diagnoses that my body can actually kill the Cancer!! Then I came across Wardee and bingo, the light bulb lit! I can help myself naturally to heal with fermented food! My lungs are healing, so my oncologist agreed. Bless you Wardee and family!" ~Melinda D.

Up a few notches...

"You’ve shown me that what I thought was a healthy way of eating could be stepped up a notch. OK, a few notches!" ~Wendy N.

I love the resource you are...

"I love the resource you are to cooking traditionally!" ~Lori P.

From the bottom of our hearts...

"I am learning things that I know will help my children. We can teach them how to use food the way God intended. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! This course is extremely timely, and, to be frank, an answer to prayer." ~Mary K.

Enjoying our food greatly...

"Our family is experiencing greater health and nutrition and enjoying our food greatly. My family is much less resistant to the changes in our diet since using your course. This is money well spent and I will continue to subscribe." ~Robin M.

You made the transition easier...

"You’ve helped make this transition easier... as trying to go through it on my own was very confusing. Having your classes gives me the focus and the guidance I need." ~Billie Y.

Seeing other moms got me over the hump...

"My family had fun together watching kid videos and making those recipes. But the biggest benefit for our family was me seeing all the other moms on video that really nourish their families. It got me over the hump from doing it 60% to more like 97%. Which is a big deal as my son had really bad teeth… I just had it in my head before that no one could really be that ‘perfect’ in their cooking. Now we have a better diet and I also have more energy mostly because I now make all baked goods, which I love, sourdough." ~Marly H., Hudson Valley NY

I'm literally in tears!

"I’m literally in tears watching Lessons 7, 8, and 10 of the Women’s Health eCourse. I was diagnosed with PCOS years ago after years of declining health, and yet treating it with progesterone did not alleviate my symptoms. I have cysts on my thyroid and ovaries, and despite various symptoms of adrenal fatigue, hypoglycemia, insulin resistance, inflammation, and a host of other ailments, I was not treated for any of these issues.

My health has continued to decline and just within the past two weeks I have had some very serious issues that landed me at the doctor’s office and then the ER this past Sunday.

After following TCS for many months, I finally decided to join when I saw that this course was being offered. Everything that is being addressed are the very things that I need to do for my health. I am so overjoyed that many of the things I prayed about and had been seeking answers to for YEARS, are being discussed in this course.

I have felt so alone for so long and even though I made very dramatic changes to my diet (like quitting sugar over 2 years ago), and have been preparing many traditional and healing foods for years now, I had not found complete healing and have gotten worse.

I wanted to say thank you to you all for allowing the Lord to use you to bring this knowledge to so many. I feel that this course was designed specifically for me. In all my years of research, I have yet to find a resource like TCS that covers every area of health and healing that I have been looking for all in one place.

Thank you Wardee, Haniya, Megan, and Lindsey for sharing your wisdom and creating this class. You have touched me and renewed my hope. May God’s blessings be upon you." ~Ajene G.

Thank you! She tackled the complicated issues!

"I am so impressed by the in-depth discussion with Dr. Lane in Lesson 4 of the Women's Health eCourse! Thank you giving her the time to fully discuss all the complicated issues she addressed. She did a good job with the spiritual side as well as the practical side of these important life decisions." ~Lee B.

Great nourishing recipes!

"I absolutely love your course! You have done such a great job referencing different resources and sharing great nourishing recipes! My boy already has a bottle recommended by you as well as the ice cream molds (can not wait for the recipe!!) Your hard work is much appreciated!" ~Olga B.

Best experience I've had with any type of support...

"This has, by far, been the best experience that I've had with any type of support. How wonderful you all are. May God Bless each and everyone of you." ~Dot R.

Keep up the good work!

"Kitchen Stewardship certainly has similar goals, of being good stewards of the gifts God has given us. It is good that God gave us such gifts on earth and a handbook to teach us how and why to take care of them! Keep up the good work!" ~Katie Kimball, KitchenStewardship.com
