e-book Giveaway: Good and Easy Eats

It's give away time!  Good and Easy Eats, an e-book by Kim Wilson, is a collection of simple, family pleasing recipes that are actually good for you.  I chose a few recipes to try this week: Potato Corn Chowder, Seasoned Popcorn, Carmel Corn, Chocolate Cake, Chocolate Meltaways, and Oatmeal Raisin Chocolate Chip Cookies.  I also followed her instruction on how to cook beans from dry to put in my chili.  It's true, I've never cooked beans before.  I never even liked beans until this year, so I needed instructions on how to cook them.


The Seasoned Popcorn was delicious.  That one will be a favorite for Friday movie nights at our house.  The best recipe I tried was the Oatmeal Raisin Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe.  I didn't think it was possible to make a cookies without sugar or eggs and have them turn out good.  I hesitated to try them because I didn't want to waste my honey on a batch I'd be throwing away, but they were delicious!  I'll make them again and again.

Good and Easy Eats is not just a recipe book. It is filled with helpful information on stocking a basic pantry, menu planning, making the transition to wholesome foods, how to decide what to buy organic, baking tips, salad making tips, how to cook beans from dry and other useful information.  There are also links throughout the book for more ideas and recipes.  For those of you who avoid wheat, all of Kim's recipes are gluten free, but she gives you an alternative if you don't have gluten issues.

If you would like to enter to win a free copy of the e-book Good and Easy Eats by Kim Wilson, please leave me a comment.  One winner will be announced on December 9th. The e-book will be available for purchase on December 10th.

The Entitlement Trap

       Remember when I posted about the Power of Mom's Retreat I attended in Park City with my mom and sisters?  Well, 2 of the presenters were parenting experts and authors Linda and Richard Eyre.  They have a new book coming out called The Entitlement Trap: How to Rescue Your Child with a New Family System of Choosing, Earning, and Ownership.


       If you pre-order the book and send them your receipt, you'll have a chance to win tickets to their couples retreat or dinner for two in Park City or some other great prizes.  If you pre-order, the book is $11.80 rather than $18. I've already ordered my copy!  If you're interested here is where you can get more info.

Peppermint Essential Oil

   

       It's give away time!  I'm giving away one 5 ml bottle of doTERRA Peppermint Oil.  I use peppermint oil for tension headaches, for a relaxing bath, or diluted with fractionated coconut oil to cool my kids fevers. 

Some other uses for peppermint oil:

* Inhale as a non-stimulant pick-me-up on long drives (or runs!)

* Rub on stomach or feet, or take one drop internally to calm an upset stomach.

* Add to shampoo or conditioner for a stimulating scalp massage.

* Diffuse into the air or use topically to open sinuses and airways.

Here's how to enter:

       My Healthy Recipes Page is short on recipes.  Please share with me one of your favorite healthy recipes.  You  can either leave me the link, or type the recipe in the comment section of this post.  Limit two entries per person.  I'll draw a winner on Friday, Aug 26th.    (Then I get to try all your recipes before I add them to my Healthy Recipes Page.)

Thanks and Good Luck!
