Menu Monday plus a Cookbook Giveaway

Published by Elizabeth at 3:19 pm under Free Offers and Giveaways, Menu Monday

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

How was everyone’s Thanksgiving? We had a slight mishap with our turkey – it sort of cooked way too long and dried out – but I discovered that turkey breast meat steamed in a covered container with a little water in the microwave tastes just fine covered with turkey gravy :) Even after having leftovers for lunch on Friday and turkey sandwiches for lunch yesterday, we STILL have a container full of mostly breast meat in the fridge, so dinner tonight is definitely being made with turkey!

Monday – Turkey Divan Casserole, tossed salad, crescent rolls

Tuesday – Sloppy Joes, corn, sliced apples

Wednesday – Slow Cooker Pork Loin Roast with Gravy (pork loin’s on sale at Meijer, and I have most of these ingredients already!), carrots, potatoes

Thursday – Spaghetti, Garlic bread, corn

Friday – Pizza Night

Saturday – Leftovers

Sunday – not planned yet

COOKBOOK GIVEAWAY!

After the New Orleans neighborhoods David Guas grew up in were nearly erased by Hurricane Katrina, he knew he needed to record and preserve not only the desserts of his family and region, but his memories as well especially for his two young sons. DamGoodSweet: Desserts to Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth, New Orleans Style is part dessert cookbook, part travelogue and really shines with amazing food photography, wonderful stories of New Orleans and great recipes like Buttermilk Beignets and handmade Chocolate Pralines.

David wants to celebrate his book with bloggers and foodies that have supported him the most, and so he has created “Sweet Swap”, an ON-LINE LIVE CHAT for bakers, bloggers and all types of folk to discuss recipes they love, questions or troubles they have in the kitchen or even just to say hello. “Sweet Swap” will be held every Sunday morning from 9:30am until 10:30am EST beginning on November 1st until the end of December on damgoodsweet.com. Just click on the red velvet cake and chat away.
