Instead of buying a $4.00 loaf of bread, 

why not eat all your meals 

gourmet style for a fraction of that?

And that's just the beginning. . . .


Look, I'll get right to the point. The economy is getting personally painful. You feel it every day at the pump. It hurts every time you buy a loaf of bread or a pound of meat. Even if you can afford to increase your food budget, you feel a knot in your stomach each time you approach the cashier. If you don't take action, the choke hold will only get tighter. Eating Gourmet the Food Storage Way Online Training is about more than just food storage . . . far more.

Eating Gourmet is about organization, wise shopping, and personal efficiency. It is also about confidence. It isn't about the price of training; it's about the cost of inaction.

Anitra Kerr has lived and taught the principles of integrating food storage into her daily pantry for years. It isn't something she just happend upon. She knows it; she lives it; and she teaches it weekly. Some of you are fortunate enough to actually attend her limited, sold out classes. She runs almost non-stop helping countless individuals learn in large groups when she can. But most of us don't have that opportunity because of distance. On KSL, she talked about how she reduced her original food bill from $250.00 to $50.00 per week. That means she feeds her family of 6 (all hungry boys) on about $50.00 per week. But she knows how to make delicious meals.  What could that do for you?

How would you like to have Anitra live via streaming video teaching you in the comfort of your home in a series of 12 online sessions?

I am so excited about the upcoming online training that you are offering. Everything about the information on the website has already helped so much. For the past year, I have been feeling so strongly that I need to get my home in order and be better prepared, but I have been like a cat chasing my tale. Then I found your site and now I no longer feel completely overwhelmed.  I find that it takes me several hands on learning attempts to really learn a new skill (such as making bread) which is what makes the videos so brilliant.  The getting started section is also so simplifying for me.  No more wondering where to start.  Now I can just start.  I have also been concerned with eating healthier, smarter and cheaper.  With your site and now the new Eating Gourmet the Food Storage Way–Online Training, I will be able to learn to do all three. And in doing so I will be able to afford more preparedness items with the money I will save by feeding my family better.  You simply can’t beat that!  Thank you, thank you, thank you! --Michelle Eyring

Eliana and I began learning and using these same principles and have also reduced our food bill to our amazement. Stated another way, there have been several times (not just one or two) that because we have purchased a bag or two of wheat or a few beans or other grains (probably a total of $60.00) we have literally been able to eat from those bags of food, deliciously (with a few spices and flavorings) for more than a month without ever stepping foot into a store, with the exception of milk and a few vegetables. We have learned to do this, and with those savings, we have broadened our variety. You can do that too.

The principles of using whole foods are true

This class will literally help you learn that. Making this transition doesn't come overnight. As a matter of fact, if you don't do every lesson, try every recipe and then try it again with your own twist, and then try it again, you might be only partially successful. But if you put your heart and mind into this class, if you learn the principle, if you experiment with different ingredients, if you ask and contribute, you will experience some of the most exhilerating, life-changing transitions in your life. You will eat healthy and save money on your food bill.

These transitions didn't come over night, but they certainly changed their lives:

Two years ago we started storing food when we could afford it. I now know that I can grind beans into flour, use them in meat dishes to extend the meat, and most important how to use hard wheat besides just using it in bread...which I didn't know how to make. I still have a lot to learn but I'm more comfortable because I know that if we are in situation where all we have is beans and a few powdered items I can make the foods healthier (sprouting), and tastier. --Kelli Hill

I am learning more from you than I have been able to learn in 2 years trying to do it on my own. I am getting so much more organized. As much as you can with 4 boys. You have made it easier to keep track of the things I have and the things I need. You have shown me that this is so much more simple and easier than everyone else makes it out to be. You have been a great help to me. --Mindy

Wow. I only discovered this site a few days ago and have spent several hours on it every day watching videos and learning so much.  I have made several of the things from the videos, bread, pitas, wheat berries, yogurt, "Wheaties" or popped wheat, bulgar and I have more planned.  It is so nice to learn about more than just one concept on each storage item.  Making bread from wheat is all well and good, but there is so much more to be done with wheat, and thanks to you I am learning what that is. --Heidi Vincent

The time savings can be measured several ways

Saving time can be more valuable than simple dollars and cents. I know that as Eliana and I started scratching out this information, we had to travel to several cities, stores, and training centers. Some of the classes overlapped, but that was ok. Each one offered us more information, and we felt a driving need to learn. Many times we traveled from our home to Salt Lake City (about four hours drive) with our children early in the morning. When we arrived, we would take turns attending the lecture and watching the children. After the class, we would drive another four hours home, usually arriving late in the evening.

You will have the option of turning on the computer or picking up the phone, no matter where you are in the world. Your children will be home with you, safe and attended.

Since the lesson series will quickly advance through twelve weeks, within less than three months, you will have learned what it took us nearly two years to learn. This time-saving becomes particularly important as the economy and world events draw more ominous, you will be ready earlier and with more experience.

You will receive all of these benefits in this training program:

LESSONS. You will experience 12 goal and activity centered, 60-90 minute, interactive sessions replete with instruction, activities, questions and answers, and weekly goals. These classes will be held with web-cam, streaming video that will be recorded. If you have a slow internet connection, you will be able to either listen over the computer or on a telephone. This will allow international as well as local attendees. This will accomodate both slow internet connections as well as high-speed connections. You will experience these topics:
  • Introductory Session. Getting started with a challenge, building groups, and knowing what to expect.
  • Lesson 1: An Organized Plan. Organize your pantry with activities to match your personal situation.
  • Lesson 2: The Power of Grains and Beans. Begin to use and mix grains and legumes. Use several recipes and practice experimenting with your favorites.
  • Lesson 3: Cooking with Limited Fuel. Learning to cook using less fuel. Use a hay box, a pressure cooker, and the volcano stove. This will prepare you for lesson 10.
  • Lesson 4: Wheat Grinders, Hand Mills, and Rollers. Grinders and hand mills are important, but learn to use alternative tools if you can't afford one yet.
  • Lesson 5: Bread Making Basics. Try several different breads, with or without an electric mixer. Your bread will never be better, and your family will devour it.
  • Lesson 6: The Convenience of Powdered Dairy. Powdered milk is barely the beginning. And don't think it is for drinking. We use dairy in cook in more ways than you can imagine.
  • Lesson 7: Dehydrating. Saving Bounty in a Jar. Use fruits, vegetables, herbs, jerky, and snacks with or without an electric dehydrator. Delicious, healthy treats for pennies compared to the store prices.
  • Lesson 8: Meal Planning. 90 Recipes rotated 4 times a year? And a row by row shopping list? Anitra only teaches this method in these classes. It is so efficient and easy, it only takes a few minutes a week. And you are likely to slash your monthly shopping bill.
  • Lesson 9: Water Purification and Storage. Water is our most valuable commodity. We discuss the safety, the preparation, and the storage of water. Most importantly, we discuss how to have water when disaster destroys all available water.
  • Lesson 10: Alternative Fuels. Learn about various alternative fuels for cooking, heating, and lighting. You can store a year's supply of fuel if you know how to use fuel efficiently and how to use versatile equipment.
  • Final Review, Questions, and Goal setting, and graduation.

Each live session will be recorded. If you cannot attend during the live presentation, you will still hear and see all that occurred during the session. Also, you will be able to download these sessions to your own computer. These sessions are not just videos. Each one will include challenges and activities. You will report and chart your progress. You will interact via blogs and group discussion. You will not be working alone. All of your questions will be answered either on the calls or in the blogs each week.

EATING GOURMET E-BOOK. The e-book, Eating Gourmet the Food Storage Way, which normally sells for $24.95, is included. Many of the recipes for the activities will be from this e-book. You will have a chance to select several others during the weeks to try and to report on. 

EXCLUSIVE FOCUS GROUP. Those who choose to participate will be organized into focus groups. These groups will communicate with each other, help and encourage each other throughout the progression of lessons. You will not be alone.  Aaron will give you instructions on how to set up group calls, group emails, documents, and plans. This will be one of the most important "ingredients" of your success. 

90-Day PLANNING CALENDAR. Anitra will include her 90-day menu planning calendar list. Not the calendar itself, but a list of each of the meals. A few of the recipes are included in Eating Gourmet the Food Storage Way eBook. Before the end of the course, you will have developed much or all of your own calendar of 90 different meals and a simple method of rotation. If you learn to use this plan, you will save hours of time and hundreds of dollars throughout the year.

BONUS. ANITRA’S IN-HOME CLASSES-RECORDED. We are recording each of Anitra's in-home classes twice (Wheat, Beans, Powdered Dairy, Dehydrating). Then Aaron will each set of two down into one session, taking the best of each. Some of the material is the same as in this training, but you see a different perspective, and different recipes. Anitra's in-home classes are $35.00 per class, so this is a $140.00 value. All of these will be available online to download before the end of the training session.

How much is this worth to you?

  • How many books would it take you to purchase and study to learn all of these concepts?
  • Where else can you join and exclusive, devoted team who is excited and willing to share his or her experiences as well as encourage you and answer your questions?
  • Where else can you find teachers who are truly devoted to helping you understand, to answering your questions, and to finding new methods to help you succeed in your preparedness progress?
  • How much value is 12 to 20 hours of class instruction?
  • How much is it worth to know that an emergency will become simply an inconvenience instead of a catastrophe?

SimplyLivingSmart is absolutely devoted to your success. These are not just words. This program is not just learning a few recipes. This program is a concerted, structured system to help you become absolutely confident in your ability to "wheather the storm." You will know that you will be "all right" in a catastrophe. We will talk about community and group leadership in a crisis. You may not be the one "in charge", but you will be a rock to which people turn to for rest. That is what this is all about. That is what builds our communities. That is what strengthens nations.

We have priced this program at $129.00. This program takes effort. If you just want to take some classes with recipes, this is not the program for you. If you want to build your personal confidence in your own food storage preparation, then we ask you to join us and to subscribe to this powerful 12-online lesson series.

EARLY BIRD BONUS: 
Personal Consultation. During the first class registration, these personal consultations sold out in 7 minutes! Now, we have another bonus, but because this will be very time consuming, this will be limited to only the first 10 people who pay full registration. We will send those 10 people a survey about their food storage. Then we will have a 1-hour conference call just with you by appointment with Anitra. We will help you decide how much food you might store, how to organize it, and how to build your personal plan. Or, we will just answer your personal questions about your situation. (For international students, we may need to use different technology than the telephone, but you are also eligible.) Anitra is literally flooded with requests to do this at $50.00 per hour. Some are willing to pay many times that. So this is a great value.
