Taste of Home Cookbook Review + Giveaway (updated)

[ 63 ] 11/18/2010 |

Winner winner- random.org chose Carla as our winner.  Carla, please forward your address to lisa@shrinkingjeans.  Thanks and congrats!

Ever heard of Taste of Home, the #1 cooking magazine in the world?!

I absolutely love and adore ALL things published by Taste of Home, whether it comes from their website,  their cooking magazines or their cookbooks.

Today, I want to talk about their newest cookbook I have a cookbook obsession.

Let me just start off by saying this is not a “dieting” cookbook.  Meaning, it was not written specifically to help you lose weight.  That being said, the cookbook does include nutrutional information on every single recipe- all 1, 563 of them!  You can then decide for yourself what fits for your lifestyle or for the choices you are making that day.

Other features:

  • 1,500+ recipes, many with photos 
  • Stay-flat binder with a brand-new design and splashguards
  • Hundreds of tips, techniques and how-to’s
  • Bonus chapter of 100 30-minute light entrees
  • Free subscription to Taste of Home magazine ($23.94 value) – wahoo!!!!

Would it be redundant to say that I love Taste of Home? 

I love it so much that I have one copy of this cookbook to giveaway!

To enter:

Disclosure:  I received a copy of this cookbook for review purposes only. No monetary compensation was provided. Of course, as always, the opinions expressed are our own.

    My favorite recipe is my grandma’s banana bread! It reminds me of holidays where I sat around listening to my grandma talk about “the old days”! Such memories…she’s been gone now 10 years and every time I make that bread I remember begging her to make her bread when she came down to see our family!

    My favorite recipe is called Crockpot Chicken Tortilla Soup http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-detail.asp?recipe=178456
    It’s a dump and run crockpot recipe that I found on Spark Recipes. It’s so easy, very yummy and healthy. Plus it feeds us for more than one day, making my life so much less stressful!

    I like a light version of pasta carbonara called Spaghetti with Parmesan and Bacon. It is quick and easy and since it has bacon most everyone loves it.

  • Sheri Carneal

    My favorite recipe is Jamie Oliver’s Crunchy Garlic Chicken because it brings everyone running to the table.

    Love the idea of this cookbook since I too have a cookbook obsession. LOL

    My favorite recipe is Fettucuni Carbonara. My mother-in-law taught me how to make it which makes it really special to me because she is such a wonderful lady.

    I could never pick my absolute favorite recipe. One of my favorites, though, is my chicken tostadas. Rotisserie chicken, diced zucchini, diced onion, and a bottle of salsa verde. Spoon it onto tostada shells sprinkle with a little cheese and bake.
    I also love Taste of Home and have made some amazing Pork Tinga Tacos and an unbelieveable Strawberry Diner Pie from mine. Would love to win this!!!!

    Lately my favorite is a tortillini recipe I found in the Catholic Digest Magazine. It is huge so I get tons of left overs. I love recipes and trying new things. My family is mostly supportive but not always excited.

    I have the best go to Chili recipe that is easy to make and can be halved or double for extra company with no problem.
