CLOSED Bite Me Cookbook & Prize Pack Giveaway
Sunday, December 12, 2010 Posted by BusyWorkingMama
Good afternoon! The turning of the calendar inevitably brings New Year's resolutions. Whether it's a desire to have more family time around the dinner table or just looking to trim the family budget a bit, making a resolution to eat in more often doesn't have to mean boring, tasteless meals or long hours slaving away in the kitchen. Bite Me Cookbook
, a stomach-satisfying cookbook by sisters Julie Albert and Lisa Gnat, is a great way to achieve your New Year's resolution of cooking more meals at home in 2011!
, a stomach-satisfying cookbook by sisters Julie Albert and Lisa Gnat, is a great way to achieve your New Year's resolution of cooking more meals at home in 2011!An inspired collection of food and fun, Bite Me contains 175 dependably delicious recipes created for the urban and the suburban, the aspiring and the well-seasoned cook. With a side order of sass (the section dedicated to soups is aptly named "Spoon Me", the chapter on Fish is entitled "Catch Me" and the book concludes with "Fork Me: Desserts for a Happy Ending"), the recipes in Bite Me do not require an army of sous-chefs, a pantry of guava paste, or blowtorch to turn a bag of groceries into a satisfying meal for a weeknight meal, casual dinner party, or formal holiday gathering. Both authors are busy working mothers with three kids each so they both understand the importance of making cooking and entertaining fun and stress-free.
One of my US readers will win a Bite Me giveaway pack including the Bite Me book, grocery bag, water bottle and a Bite Me t-shirt. Lucky you! Don't want to wait to win it? You can buy your own copy on Amazon or Barnes & Noble.MANDATORY ENTRY

My go-to recipe is simple but yummy! I take button mushrooms and remove the stems then stuff them with cream cheese. Next I wrap them in bacon and secure with toothpick. I always spinkle them with a little lemon pepper seasoning as well but this is opitional. Bake them till the bacon is crispy. I bet you can't eat just one or 3 lol.

Wow...the recipe for Magnifique Meatloaf with Mushroom Gravy sounds delicious!
Our easy appy: Spread one brick of cream cheese on the bottom on a glass pie dish. Empty one can of Hormel Chili (with or without beans). Top with shredded cheddar cheese. Microwave until heated thru and cheese on top is melted. Serve with tortilla chips....so good (and easy)!

Okay...my favorite go to recipe for appetizers is won tons. I fill them with a meat mixture (ground meat-browned with various seasonings, onions, bell peppers, etc). Fry ahead of time. Reheat in oven, mix up some pasta sauce for dipping. People think you went to a lot of trouble.
Also..for a dessert put a hershey kiss inside wonton..fry. Yum!

my go-to appetizer is cheese bread. very simple and everyone loves it. get a loaf of french bread..cut in half and put it in the oven for about 8 mins on 350..just to toast it. take about a cup and a half of mayo (you can put more or less depending on your preference)...mix it with a variety of shredded cheeses ( i use sharp cheddar, parm, mozzarella), 2 cloves of chopped garlic and green onions. Mix together well and then spread on each side of the french loaf. Put back under the broiler till bubbly and melted. My husband begs for this at least 4 times a week.
