Becca here, and I am SO excited to be hosting our first giveaway today! You may have heard that I entered, and won, an Ugly Cookbook Contest hosted by Mary Ostyn, the author of my one of my absolute favorite cookbooks, Family Feasts for $75 a Week. This is one of the few, very favorite, cookbooks I keep out on my kitchen counter, so it did not fare well when I accidentally walked off & overflowed the kitchen sink a few weeks ago. Oops! Sooo, I was elated to win the contest and get a new, autographed by the author, cookbook for myself, plus one to give to a friend, which I'll be giving away here. I love that the cookbook doesn't use any cream soups, and has a wide range of cultures represented (the author has adoped children from several different continents). The first few chapters are all about saving money and stocking your pantry, etc., without using coupons, followed by all the recipes, the real highlight of the book for me! There are several slow cooker recipes, as well as freezing and cooking instructions for several others. The Crunchy Baked Chimichangas and Pizza Crust recipes are definite family favorites here, and both are freezer friendly.
So, here's how to enter to win your very own autographed copy; you can do any or all of the options, for more chances to win! Be sure and leave a separate comment indicating which option it's for, one person per option please.
I'll be closing comments and drawing a name a week from today (1.27.12)
Option 1: Leave a comment on this post.
Option 2: "Follow" Thrice the Spice (link on top right of our site)

**Update: Thanks to commenter #19 for winning!
And so I don't leave you recipe-less today, here are links to a few of my favorites!
I'd love to be the cookbook winner! My family consists of my, my hubby, and our (almost) 1 yr. old. We're living on one income so I can stay home and raise our girl, so money-saving recipes are so helpful to keep our grocery budget down. :)
