Holly Clegg Trim & Terrific Freezer Meals Cookbook Giveaway!

Update: The winner is Maney G. Congratulations!


As I mentioned in my previous post about freezer cooking resources, one of my favorite freezer cooking books is Holly Clegg’s Trim & Terrific Freezer Friendly Meals.

Now that I am cooking freezer meals monthly, I go to this cookbook often. Not only are her recipes tasty both fresh and after a bout in the freezer (you can’t even tell the meals were reheated!), but they are healthy. Each recipe is packed with veggies, but the vegetables seamless blend into the meal so even my fussy 20 month old daughter doesn’t notice she is eating a healthy meal. My son has loved all of her recipes.

This cookbook contains the nutritional information and diabetic exchanges for every recipe at the bottom of the page.

The beginning of the book has a chapter on Freezing Facts and guides you as to what foods are suitable or not for freezing. She also includes a freezing guide as to how to freeze certain food and a timetable for how long each food maintains optimal freshness and taste in the freezer.

She has recipes for delicious appetizers, breads, soups and stews, sides, main meals, desserts.

I am excited to share that Holly Clegg has graciously agreed to sponsor this week’s giveaway. She will give one lucky winner a signed copy of her Trim & Terrific Freezer Friendly Meals. Whether you are a once a month cooking veteran or are new to the idea of freezing some of your meals ahead, you will love this cookbook.

To see some sample recipes from the book and testimonies from cooks who have used the book, go to Holly Clegg’s website.

To enter this giveaway, simple state why you would like to win this book or what your favorite freezer cooking resource is.

To enter a second time, become a follower on my blog or state that you already are, if that is the case.

To enter a third time, blog about this giveaway or write about it on Facebook or Twitter.

This giveaway ends July 5th at 9 p.m. CST. The winner will be chosen via random.org. Make sure you include your e-mail address when you enter.

Remember to that there is still time to enter the giveaway for custom made Dr. Seuss invitations and thank you notes. That giveaway ends on June 28th at 9 p.m CST.

I did not receive any compensation from Holly Clegg for this giveaway.

I am desperately trying to find ways to cut food costs so that I can continue to stay at home with my daughter. I think this would be helpful so that when it's been "one of those days" I can reach into the freezer and pull out a healthy meal for my family instead of an unhealthy and expensive drive through meal.I think this would be a great book to share with the other stay-at-home moms in my moms group.

We recently purchased a small chest freezer, and it would be great to fill it up with meals that were mostly heat and eat! I have been trying to maintain a low cost budget for our monthly food bill and do menu planning. I love the idea of cooking big one or two days a month and then having quick but satisfying meals.
