I have finished another e-book!! This is actually the very first ebook I started writing (many, many months ago!)…then I put it on hold….and I’m excited to tell you that it is now FINISHED!!
I am so excited to be launching this ebook, called “Fill ‘Em Up!”
“Fill ‘Em Up!” is written for parents or teachers of children ages 4-18 (give or take!).
It contains seven recipes….and each recipe is accompanied by two Bible lessons (one suggested for use with children ages 4-10, the other suggested for use with children 11-18).
While you spend special time cooking and baking with your kids and filling their tummies…you also experience the joy of discussing God’s word together, which will fill their hearts with His wisdom.
Thus the name…”Fill ‘Em Up!”
These tried and true recipe/lessons have worked well for families, as well as groups of children and teens. What a fun way to study God’s word together!
To help you more fully understand what ”Fill ’Em Up!” is all about I am offering everyone a free download of the one of the lessons in this book! Please feel free to download it here, read through it and try it out! Let your friends, family and youth workers know about it!
AND…sign up here to win the entire ebook! Leave a comment letting me know how you would use this ebook…and on Friday at 5pm CST, I’ll let Random.org choose a winner.
At that time…this ebook will be available in the HeavenlyHomemakers Shop for HALF OFF! I’ll be sure to let you all know about the special sale!
But for now…until Friday evening…sign up to win “Fill ‘Em Up!” and be sure to download the free ebook sample here!!!!!!!!!!!

This ebook looks wonderful. I’m working on teaching Munchkin how to cook/bake, and I love the idea of combining Bible lessons with cooking. Great job!

This is really neat! I cook often with my kids, but to tie in a Bible lesson would be wonderful! My 4 kiddos (10,8,5 and 2) would have a great time!

What a great book idea Laura! I really enjoy your recipes, so I would use them to find something constructive to do with the little one!

MaryBeth @ Four Silly Sisters says:
Great book idea. My oldest, who is only 3, is already eager to “help” me in the kitchen… seems our deepest chats about God and the world happen in there already! I’d love to read all the recipes and suggestions for discussion.

Sharmista says:
What a great looking book! My son (9) is really anxious to learn how to cook and this would be a wonderful way to do it!

JadeMerie says:
I think this book would be really helpful for me because I I have 7 kids who are always wanting to help in the kitchen. I’m always trying to come up with ways to involve them.

arbee says:
This is such a great idea! I would love this to use with my church group girls (ages 8-9). What a great way to teach them two things - how to cook and God’s word!

Jennifer says:
What a great idea. I have recently started reading your blog and have really been encouraged to get my boys in the kitchen with me more often. This book sounds like a great idea!

Kate says:
Laura, this is absolutely amazing! What a great idea. This would be so much fun to use with my kiddos.
Congrats on getting it finished too. As it was your first ebook idea, I’m sure it feels wonderful to have it completed.
Your recipes + your biblical insight = one fantastic combination! I just printed off the sample to do with my three oldest while Gracie naps tomorrow. I can’t wait.

I have two older children and two younger children, and we love to spend time together in the kitchen, cooking and talking. What a great way to integrate in a Bible lesson as well! Thank you!

Mary in Ohio says:
I would use this in our homeschool for my 7yr ds and my 4yr old dd. It is never to young to teach them scripture and cooking. They need a good foundation in both of them!
July 28th, 2008 at 7:06 am
Debbie says:
How great is this e-book? Combining a Bible lesson with cooking is a fabulous idea! I would love to start our school mornings with this, even if it did not involve a “breakfast” type food. Feed our bodies and our spirits at the same time! Great! I have two of your other e-books, and I must say they are wonderful. I am putting them into binders for my future home keepers, I know they will use them over and over. Thank you!

I love cooking with my kids and I think that incorporating a bible lesson into our time spent in the kitchen is a great idea.
You are such a creative person, I love your recipies (in fact I will be making one for dinner tonight).

Julie says:
I recently came across your blog via biblicalwomanhood. I’ve enjoyed reading some of your ideas and recipes. I would use this book with my own children. Also, my husband and I work in Children’s Church. I think these would be something fun to do with the kids there to add variety.

I guess I should have read your whole post before I rushed on to comment-
I would be using the book with my 4 and 5 year-old daughters and eventually with my grandson as well.
It looks like a truly wonderful book and even if I don’t win one, I hope to be able to purchase one.
Thank you!

Another fabulous idea, Laura. I do not homeschool, so this book would come in handy for fun things to do AFTER school… incorporating great discussion with one of our favorite things — baking! Thank you for the opportunity.

Melissa says:
Hello. What a sweet book idea! My girls love to “help” me cook. My 3 year-old especially. Every single time I am in the kitchen doing something, she pulls a chair up to help me.
I would love to use this book to do some fun cooking projects with my girls.
July 28th, 2008 at 2:29 pm
Patricia says:
I am always looking for ways to teach my daughter lessons from the bible. Combing cooking with teaching is a great idea!!!!

Stephanie @ Keeper of the Home says:
Congrats, Laura! I’m working on my first ebook, so I know how much work goes into one!
It sounds like a great book! Abbie and I love to spend time cooking together, and I would just incorporate it into our “learning time” (ie. our homeschooling) as a way to combine our Bible learning with kitchen time!

I love this idea! I have three daughters and a son and I haven’t yet started them in the kitchen. They want to but I haven’t taken the time to do it. I think this book would help.
P.S. I just tossed their easy bake oven they got for Christmas last year and told them they were about to learn to cook in a real oven!
July 28th, 2008 at 11:01 pm

What a great way to do the Duet 6:6-9 thing. This would also be a good way to introduce our weekly bible memory verse.

What a wonderful idea! The children and I love to bake together and what a wonderful opportunity to learn more about God. Thanks for a chance to win!

Marnie says:
Well, since I am a homeschooling mom of 6, I would definately use the recipes to start to day. One of the goals in my homeschooling career is to have raised children to be responsible adults who can cook,clean and run their own home without wasting a lot of money. When I was first married I had no idea of how to run my own home. Because of that I wasted alot of my husband’s hard earned money (which was in short supply!!! I want my children to avoid that.

Barbara says:
I’m a new admirer of your blog - I’m here for the healthy recipes in particular! It would be so much fun to win your new ebook. I would use it with my nearly 8 year old twins who love helping me in the kitchen. I would also use it for teaching homeschool co-op classes and when little friends come over for play dates. Thanks for the opportunity.

I was just looking for a fun Bible study to do with my younger children 5 and 6. This looks perfect.

Lymeade Lady says:
I would love to use it as I teach my daughter to cook. She just turned 7 and loves to help out in the kitchen. (Well actually my 3 yo loves to “help out” too…) She really looks forward to being able to cook. I want to help her be good at cooking and housekeeping before she leaves home–something I didn’t have. Thanks!
July 29th, 2008 at 1:54 pm
Stephanie says:
I love this idea! My 6 year old always wants to help in the kitchen and this makes it so much better.

Sandra says:
I love that it looks like you have made a tough job much easier. I find it hard including my son in meal prep. He is not the best listener at times and can make things a little unsafe. He so loves being there though and it makes me sad to try and discourage him when I am in a hurry or don’t have the patience. I also love that you have incorporated a Biblical perspective and God’s word into the teachings.

I’m a new mom (6 month old son), but I’m already trying to instill healthy eating habits by making home-made baby food. My family has a history of being overweight, but my husband’s family is naturally thin. I hope to use a whole foods diet to encourage my family that healthy food can be natural, real food!
Thank you for this great offer, Laura.

Great idea, Laura! My 3 yr. old and I are going to try to bake your banana cake recipe today, even though it is pushing 100-degrees outside right now! He is loving to help me bake, so the ebook would be fun to use with all my boys (3). And we are always trying to find creative ideas to work on character training, etc. so I would love this ebook! Blessings! Cheryl
