NOW CLOSED: The $5 Dinner Mom Cookbook Giveaway

5DinnerMomcover 223x300 NOW CLOSED: The $5 Dinner Mom Cookbook Giveaway

A very good blogging friend, Erin Chase (5dollardinners.com), has recently released a cookbook The $5 Dinner Mom Cookbook. Erin and I started our blogs around the same time in 2008 and she was one of my first guest posts. It is so exciting to see a friend succeed! I knew the concept of a $5 Dinner would really catch on!

The $5 Dinner Mom Cookbook like her website is focused on meals which are easy on the budget, $5 or less. Now, the $5 part will depend on the area of the country and the size of your family but the concept is really to help you save money while still eating healthy!

The book has a variety of recipes in it including a whole section for vegetarian meals, which are of course affordable. With some of the recipes, you can really taste the influence of Erin’s time in the Dominican Republic.

Not only does this book give you recipes but it also includes a great section on how to budget and meal plan. I’m really proud of Erin’s success with this book and can’t wait to see what she comes up with next. You will want to find out when she’s coming to your town for a book signing, too!

You can also download this FREE 12 Page The $5 Dinner Mom does Holiday Dinner.

    My favorite budget meal is homemade pizza. I make the dough, we buy store brand mozzarella and sauce in bulk and we have a great Friday night tradition that is also budget friendly.

    My favorite bargain meal is home-made soup. When you have a rotisserie chicken, save the carcass and freeze, if necessary. When you’re ready to make soup, boil the bones in your largest soup pot with lots of water. Remove the bones and pick off the remaining bits of meat. Add them to the soup. Add fresh veggies of your choice (onion, celery, etc), bits of leftover veggies that have been languishing in your fridge, leftover rice, plain noodles, etc. Cook your soup at a simmer on the stove top. Season to taste and serve! You can freeze remaining soup for a cheap and easy meal at a later date!

    My favorite bargain recipe is my shrimp dish… no, I don’t have a name for it….
    I start with shrimp, obviously, and cook them in a pan with garlic, olive oil and italian seasonings. When the shrimp are done, I throw them on some french bread (cut lengthwise) and pop them in the oven covered in parmesean cheese! Yum! We usually have a salad with this, and it is super easy and quick!

    My fav recipe is to take chicken breast and cook it in the crockpot with BBQ sauce all day, then we serve with buns and any quick sides I have in stock such as corn, hash browns, applesauce, etc.
  • Kim Sorensen - January 07, 2010 @ 11:41 pm 73
    Chicken One Dish….Boneless/skinless chicken breasts as many as you like, one can cream of chicken soup and 8 oz sour cream. Mix soup and sour cream together and pour into 9×13 lay chicken breast in mixture and cover with Foil bake at 375 till juices run clear and serve over rice. I always use more sour cream and more soup because we like ours with more sauce.
