cookbook giveaway

 I am super picky about items I might review or giveaway on this blog.  To me, the intent of this blog is not to focus on reviews and giveaways but to share our journey of better and more creative eating (even if the creativity lacks from time to time... as it has lately...), and as it turns out, to be an inspiration to others.
As a part time working mom, full time chauffeur,  housekeeper, homework helper, etc. etc. etc., I have some non-wanting-to-cook kinda nights from time to time.  Ok, more often than I would love to admit.  With a little pre-planning the night before or morning of, I have found myself in love with the slow cooker more than a time or two!  Yes, I love me some slow cooker nights!  

I figure I am not the only one....   So, when presented with the chance to do this giveaway, I decided this one makes the cut!

This month, the new edition of the family favorite, Fix-It and Forget-It Cookbook  was released.  The updated version includes more than 100 new recipes, substitute ingredients suggestions, as well as tips and tricks for making the most of your slow cooker.
 
Not sure all the recipes would fall under the healthy/natural foods category, but with some healthy substituting, I think a book like this would be a great starting point for crazy weeknight meals ideas and am proud to offer a copy to one of my readers!


Check out the fix-it and forget-it website to see if this is a book that would work for you.   

WANT ONE?
One Lucky Lunchbox Limbo reader will win a copy of this cookbook!  
For a chance to win, leave a comment below with your email address (use name at email dot com format).  
For a second chance, leave a second comment telling me your current favorite meal/item to make in a slow cooker!


This contest will end on May 20th, at 10:00 PM EST. The winner will be selected by random.org, and contacted by email .   If no response within 48 hours, a new winner will be selected.  The giveaway prize will come directly from FSBmedia. This giveaway is open to US readers only.
