I've bloglined you so I can come back and read when my blogging isn't so hectic visiting all the great giveaways.
I went from liking to cook, to hating to cook, to starting to like it again. Maybe because I'm cooking more what I like instead of what everyone else will eat.
Have a fun week!
Sounds great--count me in!
PLEASE DON'T FORGET TO TELL ME WHAT YOUR FAVORITE MEAL IS IF YOU WANT TO ENTER THE CONTEST-- THANKS! :)
Wow, this is great!! I would love to enter this contest. Thank you for the opportunity.

Melinda

It's Sweet & Sour Kielbasa

Follow the blogs for fun entries!
I love chicken tortilla soup made in my crockpot. It smells so good all day while it is cooking.
My favorite homecooked meal is a cheesy spinach & ham casserole that smells so good when it's baking. We love it!

Oh, I love food more than most things in this world, but I'd have to say that my favorite meal is homemade Shrimp Etouffee. My husband is from cajun country, so when we started dating I added a few cajun dishes to my repertoire. Here's the recipe I use. Yum!
My favorite recipe is roasted asparagus....Spray the cookie sheet with cooking spray, put the asparagus on it, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and cook at 400 degrees for about 15 minutes. While it is cooking, in a sauce pan on the stove melt 2 Tbls butter...cook for about two minutes until it is a nice golden brown color. Add 1 Tbls of soy sauce and 1 Tbls of balsamic vinegar. Pour over the asparagus...so yummy!

Mmm, more cookbooks!
http://homemakersguidetothegalaxy.blogspot.com/2007/07/my-recipe-collection.html
My favorite meal is Golden Au Gratin Potatoes, and just about anything I make to go with it. They are so yummy! We usually have it at holidays, so with a nice roasted turkey breast and a few other sides, we're good to go!
Without a doubt, my Mom's pork chops!
Favorite comfort food: Meat loaf, mashed potatoes, peas, corn and hot rolls.
Makes me want some now!
Sign me up.
Well, my favorite food is pizza and I can't have that anymore due to allergies.
However, I can share a delicious recipe for green bean salad: steam fresh green beans, make a viniagrette of olive oil, vinegar & a smidge of mustard. I add italian herbs, salt & pepper (shake all together in a jar). To this you can add diced onion, garlic, even things like chopped olives or anything of an italian nature. :) Chill, mix & eat!
Please enter me into the drawing! Thank you!
I love cookbooks. Please include me. My favorite home-cooked recipe is my mom's lasagna. And this is it:
Brown 1 lb of ground beef. Drain off the fat and add 3 cans of tomato sauce and 1 or 2 packages of spaghetti seasoning mix (your choice on type and number of packets, but I use 2, and usually the "thick and zesty" type). Simmer this until needed.
Boil 12 lasagna noodles (this is about 3 more than you really need, just in case some tear) in salted water until soft. Drain.
In a 9x13 pan, spray the bottom with cooking spray. Place a layer of noodles, a thin to moderate layer of the sauce, a layer of swiss cheese, a layer of cottage cheese (large curd), a layer of mozzarella cheese, a layer of noodles, sauce, noodles, sauce. Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella or parmesan cheese. Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes.
The cottage cheese makes all the difference in the world. All my ricotta-eating friends say this is the best lasagna they've ever had and are shocked to find out it's cottage cheese instead of ricotta. If you try this recipe, I hope you love it as much as I do. :)
I don't think I could pick just one favorite meal, but if I had to then homemade crepes would definitely be right up there at the top of the list.
Here's a link to a crepe recipe, and a number of filling suggestions.

My favorite meal? Geez...talk about a tough question!
Guess I'll go with meatloaf, broccoli, and these homemade rolls.
My favorite homecooked meal is roast, rice and dark gravy with corn on the cob, and smothered green beans.
Unfortunately for something I love so much, I have no recipe for any of these things.
Let's top it off with one of my favorite desserts, dutch apple pie.
I tried to find my recipe for this, but I searched and searched -- coming up with nothing. If I find it, I send it to you later : )

Enter me please! I don't know that I can decide on a favorite homecooked recipe ... maybe a soup of some kind. I have a great recipe for Cheeseburger Soup that is fantastic.
Yum! I'm always looking for ways to cook with soup!
Please enter me! I've always been partial to Mum's meatloaf!
I don't neccesarily like to cook or have a favorite recipe, but I have 7 kids, so I have to cook!
I do cook from scratch some and the kids and my dh love it. I think my most famous meal around here is either french dip braid or alfredo pizza.
I'd love to be entered into your contest. And I like the restriction, it eliminates some of the competition!
I'm not a very good cook to be honest. I also don't eat so my favorite thing is roasted potatoes. I prefer red, but white work as well. All you have to do is cut the potatoes into chunks. Then put them in a roasting pan, fill with some oil & cook. I'm sure you already know hot to make them. I think the correct way is in the pan with like Turkey or something, lol. They take about an hour to make. So good! Sorry I don't have a good recipe for you, but I have been checking out your blog :)
I have several favorites. Here's one I like to make in the fall and winter. It's called Cheeseburger Soup. http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/KarensKitchen/22466/
My favorite meal is a huge bowl of chicken/shrimp gumbo with rice and a spoonful of potato salad dropped in......Yum! Can't wait until it gets cold so I can have some!
if i'm cooking i like to make soup. you can't go wrong! if hubby is coking i love his lasagna. mmmmm!
I love Food. So, picking my favorite is so hard. I guess if it's my mother cooking I LOVE her chicken noodle soup (oh, is it good. It took me 32 years before my mother would share her recipe with me..lol..)
If, it's me cooking.. I love my Black Forest Pot roast.. Very good stuff.
Add me to your contest too. I love this kind of stuff.

I'm going to bookmark here and come back.
I LOVE cookbooks and recipes. I'll give you the link to one of my favorite new recipes (homecooked of course). It's crockpot easy and makes enough for 2 - 3 meals.
The link for Chalupa Dinner Bowls is towards the bottom. Yum.
I bookmarked you because your slow cooking Thursday feature caught my eye. My favorite home cooked meal is a chicken pie, not pot pie because it does not have veggies in it. I always serve fresh steamed broccoli on the side and then mix it all up together. I have to make two full size pies to feed the hungry, love this recipe Mom, sons I have. Please enter me for your cookbook gift. Thanks.
My favorite home cooked meal is chicken patties, which I make from shredded cooked chicken, shredded cheese, some bread crumbs, and a little oil. Mix it up and make into patties and cook them on the electric skillet. Yumm! Perfect with mashed potatoes. :)
Enter me please...
how cool and what a fun cookbook I hope I win!!!!
Count me in ... my fav recipe is Stuffed Green Peppers!
6 small green peppers
1 lb ground beef
1/2 cup cooked rice (well, I do 1 cup cooked rice - I think this should say 1@ cup uncooked rice)
1/2 tsp. salt
dash pepper
1 slightly beaten egg
2 Tbsp. minced onion
1 can tomato soup
Steam peppers in 1 cup boiling water for 5 minutes. Drain. Cut top off pepper and remove the insides.
Brown meat. Drain ft, and rinse.
Add rice, salt, pepper, egg, onion and 1/2 can of soup. Mix well and fill peppers. Add small amount of milk to remaining soup. Pour over peppers and bake at 350 for 45 minutes.
We all love it in my house (although, admittedly, the kids leave the pepper as a bowl and do not eat it and the adults do LOL!)
I know this sounds like I'm just buttering you up, but the truth is my favorite homemade meal is potato soup. Yum. And some fresh right out of the oven bread to top it off. Sour dough probably would be the very best!
...that would be on a nice cold winter day by the way.
Anyway, thanks for the opportunity to win!
Oh, I'd love to win! Please count me in! By the way, I'm doing a giveaway at my place. Please stop by and visit.

I love things like this! Thanks for the chance at winning!!
One of my favorite meals is seafood enchiladas made cheap!
I use imitation crap meat and frozen shrimp. I mix sour cream, seafood seasoning and montery cheese together. I add these ingredients to flour tortillas and roll up in pan. I pour over mild enchalada sauce and put cheese on top. Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes
I really like salsa chicken! Just drop a couple chicken breasts (can be still frozen) in the crockpot, cover with layer of salsa and cook on high for 4-5 hours. Put chicken on tortilla with cheese and lettuce! YUM!
One of my favorites is "Chicken enchilada cassarole".
Ingredients: 3 cups of basic white sauce with 2 cans of mild green ortega chilis added, 1 package corn torillas, 1 rotisserie chicken shredded, 2-3 cups shredded cheese
Layer in cassarole dish- sauce, corn torillas, shredded chicken, shredded cheese. Repeat layers ending with cheese.
Bake at 350 until hot and bubbly. About 45 minutes!
Fabulous giveaway! Count me in!

Oh, don't ya just love the folks who aren't reading what's required first? LOL
Here's my favorite recipe:
Pepper Stuffed Chicken
* 1 Tbls Olive Oil
* 1 onion, chopped
* 2 red bell peppers, cut into strips
* 2 cloves garlic, pressed
* salt & pepper to taste
* 1/2 tsp. oregano
* 1/2 tsp. basil
* 1/4 c. Feta cheese
* 4 chicken breast (with skin & bone)
* 3/4 c. white wine (I use Apple Fruitesia from Shaws market)
* 1 T. butter
Preheat oven to 425 F.
In a skillet, heat the olive oil, add the onion, pepper, garlic, salt & pepper, and herbs and cook until onion is translucent and peppers are soft. Let cool. When cooled, add the cheese, tossing well to distribute.
In the meantime, prepare chicken. Loosen the skin of the chicken and stuff 1/4 of the mixture in between skin and flesh. Sprinkle the tops with salt & pepper and place in a metal baking dish.
Roast chicken for about 30 to 40 minutes (mine needed about an hour, and I checked them with a meat thermometer first) or until chicken juices run clear when pierced. Remove hte hcicken from the pan and keep warm.
Heat the pan on the stovetop, about med. high heat. Add the white wine and using a whisk, get all the browned bits. Let the pan juices reduce reduce to about half. Remove the heat, add the butter, whisk well, and serve over the top of chicken.

I love to cook, and I love to eat! I suppose my most favorite (right now, because of summer) is BLT's with corn on the cob. I am in Iowa and this is the time for wonderful Iowa sweet corn. I will also be making corn chowder several times, because it is best when the corn is fresh!
I love looking for new recipes. I have bookmarked your site and will be back to see what you have! If you have time, I post my menus on Mondays over at my blog.
Thank you for hosting a giveaway!
My favorite item today is homemade chicken pot pie. Please enter me in your drawing.

Awesome! Please count me in!! :)
Believe it or not, my favorite homecooked meal is my hubby's sushi!
Mmmm...what a fun book! I added you to my reader so I can catch up with you a litte later.
Favorite meal...anything from my mamma's kitchen :) We loved chipped beef and biscuits growing up, and I request it whenever I go home.
Ooooh great giveaway! We love tacos here - with homemade hamburger taco mix and all the fixings on top. Also have beef roast, homemade soups. Oh sorry, I had to pick just one - an impossible task! OK wait, my absolute favorite is our "Americanized" enchiladas (a recipe I adapted from a friend). They always get rave reviews from our guests.
I want in!!! lol :)
Thanks, Amy.
Well, my favorite meal is spaghetti. LOVE it. It gets me in trouble, though. (I can't resist it and gain too much!)
I'll say one of my favorites is the Honey-Lime Pork on the grill. It was in my MPM a while back, as well as Tasty Tuesday. The recipe is on my blog. It is SO GOOD!!
My favorite meal would be fried chicken, my Mom's potato salad, baked beans and rolls.
I would love that cookbook. I am a huge collector.
bridget10@ntelos.net
I've been upset that no one has followed MY rules, either! I'm from Louisiana and I love red beans and rice or my grandma's seafood gumbo. I don't have recipes.
Please enter me for the cookbook. I love soup.
Fried chicken
collard greens
buttermilk cornbread
mac and cheese
My favorite home cooked meal is tacos. I know that is boring, but that is my all time favorite comfort food. My husband loves it when I make chicken with home made alfredo sauce. It's really easy. I mix evaporated milk with flour and add garlic. That's it. I think it is even better if you start with butter, add flour to make roux then add the evaporated milk. Add cooked chicken, sauted mushrooms and serve over noodles with garlic bread. Now I am hungry!
Count me in! What a wonderful giveaway! Do you know how hard it is for me to list my favorite food??? I love food! I guess right now I would have to say anything with eggplant as I have just gotten one from the store and can't wait to do something with it.
Great blog...I'm bookmarking it so that I can come back later. ;)
Come on over to check out my giveaway.
Hmm, well, I'd have to go with meatloaf and baked potatoes. I make the same recipe my mom did when I was a kids, and it always brings me back.
One of my favourite meals is Tuscan Garlic Chicken from the Olive Garden web site. http://www.olivegarden.com/recipes/recipe_search/recipe_display.asp?id=99 I make mine with penne pasta instead of fettucine, and I found the recipe needs salt and pepper to taste.

Count me in!
Love it!
chicken and dumplings.
That cookbook looks fabulous! Since I'm 1/2 Italian, I can't resist my favorite home cooked meal of spaghetti and meatballs. My mom's is better than mine, and my grandmothers was even better yet! Thanks for the chance to win:)
Hi Amy, Wow imagine seeing your blog when I was going through the contests. I love to find new recipes to try.

Great idea! My favorite meal is Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo prepared by my husband. I wish I could pass on his recipe, but I don't know it! I only know it's delicious! Please enter my name in your drawing. Thanks!
I'm lazy and would make this every other day:

Instead of placing the chicken on foil balls, I slice 2 med. onions in half and use them to set up the chicken, and toss in some celery and baby carrots.
Hubby loves when I make a turkey sausage jumbalaya though. Hoping to win this soup cookbook- it looks great! gena(at)dmcg(dot)com
