This giveaway is now closed. Thank you!
I love Real Simple. I bought the first issue of Real Simple almost 10 years ago and remember thinking that I needed to tell the world how great it was so they would stay in business. I suppose my strategy worked!

In anticipation of their 10-year anniversary, Real Simple just released a new cookbook, Real Simple Best Recipes. They graciously sent me an advance review copy and it was love at first sight. The book is full of wonderful, SIMPLE (go figure), delicious-looking recipes. And every recipe has a beautiful photo, a cookbook characteristic that is important to me.
I know you’re chomping at the bit to get your hands on this cookbook. Now’s your chance! You can buy it here…and of course we have a giveaway right here on This Week for Dinner!
Real Simple is giving away TWO copies of Real Simple Best Recipes. Just add a comment to this post by Midnight PT on Monday, November 9 and you could be one of two lucky winners to each receive your very own copy! The randomly-selected winners will be announced on Tuesday, November 10.
Good luck!

Hello! My name is Jane Maynard and you've landed yourself on my blog, This Week for Dinner™. Every Sunday I share a weekly menu...and then count on you to share your own! You'll also find other deliciousness that I hope you'll enjoy!











OOH, I’d love this!!

I have made a commitment to try new recipes at least once a week to mix up our go-to meals. Real Simple is definitely a place I go to for inspiration and would love to expand my cookbook collection – it is actually kind of sad looking!

I recently spoke to an editor from Real Simple telling her I allow my self 1 magazine subscription a year. I try to mix things up a bit, but I always return to Real Simple. On the years I don’t subscribe, I usually end up buying my copies at the grocery store anyway. The recipes are wonderful and it’s exciting to hear that they have compiled them into a cookbook.

I have discovered “spicy” foods myself. Kim Mercer is my daughter-in-law, and I am having her send you a copy of my book “Don’t be afraid of your food storage…just Dutch it!” Have fun learning to Dutch oven cook while using dried and canned foods. I haven’t seen Real Simple in years but know they have wonderful recipes. Would love to have the book.
Thanks, Linda
