Food Network Cookbook - Easy Recipes!


******GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED*****
I was excited when I was asked to review the Food Network Magazines new collection of recipes.  There is nothing I like more than to peruse through a cookbook full of mouthwatering pictures.  This book didn't disappoint.  The pictures are gorgeous and completely drool worthy.

This book is organized wonderfully. They not only organize it by Appetizers, Breakfast, Main dish, Salads & Sides and Drinks & Desserts, but each section within is organized. If I'm looking for a dip, there is a whole section just on Appetizer dips.  There is a whole section of potato salads in the Sides & Salads section.  There are 42 potato salad recipes in here. I could make a different potato salad, each day for a month and 1/2 and have something new. (Can you tell I love potato salad?)

Another thing that impressed me was the amount of helpful cooking tips throughout the book. I need all the help I can get so I appreciated that! 

The new cookbook titled, Food Network Magazine 1,000 Easy Recipes: Super Fun Food for Every Day, is a collection of short recipes for all sorts of foods including 294 appetizers and snacks, 156 breakfasts, 287 main dishes, 192 salads and sides, and 232 drinks and desserts.

Want To Win A Copy? Contest is Closed.

I am happy to say that 2 of my readers will win a copy of this awesome cookbook.
Here’s what you need to do to enter (each is worth one entry – please comment a separate time for each entry to be counted):

1. Leave me a comment with your favorite food network show or chef!

2. Follow me by email or let me know you already are a subscriber.

3. Take a look at my recipe index and let me know what you think! I made a pinterest recipe index but I'm not sure how user friendly it is. 

I'll pick 2 winners on Wednesday the 28th at night, make sure I have an email address to contact you!

  46. Well, I haven't watched the Food Network in years since we don't have cable, but back when I went to the gym (not since 2008!), my favorite thing to do was watch Paula Deen make some horribly deliciously buttery & sugary foods while I was sweating my butt off! She was my fave then b/c she made comfort food.

  48. I checked out your recipe index and I think it's great! The cool thing about using Pinterest is that you can see a photo for each one before you click on it. The only thing I'd change is to make the links to the Pinterest recipe files open in a new window so that we don't have to push the "back" button to return to it and open up another category. Not a big deal, though.

  49. I haven't been watching as much Food Network as I used to. Probably the only one I consistently watch is Pioneer Woman.
