Revised Recipes + Lily-pad GIVEAWAY

When gathering recipes for the cookbook, it was only natural for me to think of some of my favorite recipes. Some of those recipes were already on the blog.  Through the recipe testing process, though, these recipes were made even better, so here is a list of recipes that were cookbook-intended that have been updated to their "even better-ness" on the blog!  Enjoy!

Vegetable Enchiladas

 For a completed list of our recipes, please visit our recipe index!
...Now to the GIVEAWAY

 We all have our favorite kitchen gadgets we gravitate toward. One of my all-time favorties is this Silicon Lily-pad. It's microwave, oven, and freezer safe (although I've never tried it in the freezer!). I love that it creates a perfect seal on any smooth rim, and is an instant lid to all my glass mixing/serving bowls as well as pots or skillets on the stove. I've used it to cover dishes in the microwave or oven, and also to just keep a dish warm at the dinner table! It is so versatile and I think everyone needs one!

 I can't provide everyone with one of these beauties, but I will GIVEAWAY one, medium sized (9.5in) Lily Pad to the winner of this giveaway!

 To help promote the blog with all it's wonderful new changes, please help us spread the word, and help yourself potentially WIN a medium Lily-pad!

    My favorite kitchen gadget is the ice cream scoop (maybe I shouldn't post that one a healthy blog...) I think it is self-explanatory.

    My favorite gadget is the bag clip... I easily have a dozen in use at all times. We put them on bags of frozen veggies, frozen berries, nuts, flax seed, cereal, coconut, dried fruit, and many others). If it wasn't for this little guy, we would have a lot of stale food.

    The lilly pad looks so cute and practical. Can my garlic press be a gadget? I use it daily and absolutely love it! I used to smash my garlic with a knife or cut it up really small. Now, the garlic press really comes in handy.

    We love our food processor. It cuts our chopping time in half!

    It's already been said, but my favorite has to be my pampered chef garlic press too! You can put your whole clove in--peel and all. Its amazing. The lily-pad looks great and good luck with all the changes around here and on your recipe book too!!

    My favorite kitchen gadget is my Pampered Chef Mix and Chop. It makes browning meat so easy, and can be used for other things as well :)

    I'd love to win. I almost never enter giveaways, but Charissa insisted I look at this giveawat more closely and I'm glad I did. This looks great!

    As far as my favorite gadget, I'm cheating and calling my knives gadgets. We bought a set of Cutco knives last years and they are AMAZING! I had no idea knives could be so effective and useful. I use them to do everything now.
