It’s Saturday…the start of a long, holiday weekend and the start of college football. (Illini win today – woo!).
As I experiment today with recipes for my second cookbook, a gluten-free cookbook, it seems overdue and only appropriate that I host a giveaway of my first cookbook, Prevention RD’s Everyday Healthy Cooking, which came out less than 4 weeks ago. Eeeeep! It still doesn’t feel real…what the heck!
For those of you who ordered the book already, or who take the time to come to this little corner of the web sometimes – my sincere thanks. The cookbook would’ve never come to be without you. If you have the cookbook, I hope you love it. If you don’t have the cookbook, I hope you enter this giveaway and win one…I’ll be giving away 3 cookbooks! I’ll even sign them before I send! 😉
How to enter…two simple ways.
1. Leave a comment on this post with the name of the recipe, meal, or food that last wow-ed you.
2. “Like” Prevention RD on Facebook and leave a separate comment letting me know you’ve done so, or that you already “like” Prevention RD on Facebook.
This giveaway will end Wednesday, September 4th at 9pm EST. The three winners will be selected at random.
Be well,
Hi Nicole! I would love to win a copy! The last meal that wowed me was baked falafel with tzatziki sauce. It was so yum! Also, I like Prevention RD on Facebook (that’s where I saw the info about this giveaway). Thanks for sharing great recipes and best wishes on your continued success!
I had a wonderful meal at Blue Coast in Bethany Beach, DE the other night. It was jumbo roasted shrimp over grits. It was just delicious.
I already have this but am hoping to win this for my MIL so she will see that delicious food can be healthy too.
I already follow you on FB.
Your chicken Gyros with Taziki Sauce is one of our favorites! Ir is on our rotation about every other week. And sometimes we eat the sauce on pita chips without the chicken! Your book is on my wish list but what a great back to school item it would be to win it! I both teach and am going back to school myself so quick and healthy meals are a challenge!
Hi Nicole. I am rather new to your blog, and have really enjoyed reading your post. Would love to win your book. The most recent meal I had that wow-ed me, was bbq brisket from a local bbq restaurant. It was soooo good!
WOOHOO Cookbook giveaway! Facebook liked: CHECK!
The last meal that wowed me was my own version of New Mexico Green Chili Stew made with fresh green chilies straight from Hatch, New Mexico and roasted in my backyard! Because I loved it so much, I have to give you the recipe..which you are free to use, anytime!
GREEN CHILE STEW
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 pounds boneless pork loin, cut into 1-inch cubes—brown in Dutch oven first with some flour
1/2 large chopped onion
2 clove garlic, minced
1-2 fresh jalapeno chopped
2 cups roasted, peeled and chopped fresh green chilies, mild or hot
2-3 red skin potatoes , cut into 1 inch squares – I prefer to leave the skin on
1 can spicy ( or not) chopped tomatoes- drained and rinsed so it’s not too tomat-ey tasting
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 cups beef broth
If not spicy enough…add 1/2 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp coriander, and a dash of chipotle chile pepper
Let simmer in Dutch oven for about 3 hrs ( I put it in the oven at 325)
I serve this with my husband’s home-made steamed tortillas

A baked fish recipe. It mayonnaise mixed with a little lime juice, onion powder and black pepper. Spread that over the fish such as cod or tilapia, Sprinkle panko bread crumbs and parmesan cheese, Melted butter and dried parsley, oregano and paprika. Baked for 20 to 25 minutes in a 425 degree oven. Yum! We tried catfish this way but not quite as good as the above fish.

Your Mediterranean Salmon Salad is just one of your recipes that have become a favorite in our house. As a family in Alaska that loves to fish I’m always on the lookout for new ways to use up the salmon. Thank you for the wonderful blog and healthy tasty recipes you offer up.

I “liked” you on Facebook. Love your blog.
Last recipe that “wowed” me… My fiance made fresh pasta and then made his famous peppered shrimp alfredo sauce to go with it. Definitely not healthy, but totally worth the calories 😉
Last recipe that wowed my guest and I where the sweet and spicy bacon wrapped jalapeño poppers. Great to bring to a party everyone loved them! I am making the pizza bites today for a Memorial Day party and I am looking forward to seeing how they come out! I also liked you on Facebook.

Hmm last meal that wow’ed me…a burger place in downtown Louisville called Sidebar. It was an angus cheeseburger with guacamole, bacon, and special aioli sauce, along with fabulous zucchini and sweet potato fries!! I left feeling stuffed 🙂
Of course I’m a fan on Facebook! (Megan Bramos)
I made your Korean-style beef tacos this week for my husband- big hit! I will admit I made a small change because he is trying to cut down his carbs, so instead of the tortilla I wrapped the beef in some lettuce- we both loved it. And I was grateful because the beef was so easy to prepare (I love finding new and easy dinners for work week nights!) and the flavor was great as well as fun since it is unlike anything else I cook.
OH! I would love one of your cookbooks, I can always use new inspiration and your recipes look so yummy on your blog! One of my fave go-to meals is one I found in Rachel Ray’s magazine a few years ago, her Chicken and Spinach tortilla bake! It’s easy and delish, and fun to play around with if you’ve got other ingredients to use up

I’ve been wanting to get my hands on a copy of your cookbook, so thanks for this opportunity. Last night, I threw together a quick salad of tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, and a few chopped herbs from the garden tossed with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. It was so simple, fresh, and delicious! Best of luck with cookbook #2! 🙂
Penne with red, yellow and orange bell peppers, sautéed with garlic and dry white wine.

I would love to win one of your cookbooks. I use your recipes several times a week. The last thing that wowed me was chicken enchiladas.
I’m a fan on facebook.
Unfortunately, it has been a long time since a meal has wowed me. However, I am headed on my vacation next week to Vancouver, B.C., and I am looking forward to many, many awesome seafood meals while I am out there!
Would love, love to win one of your cookbooks!
Oh… and I like Prevention RD on Facebook!
I just liked your Facebook page. I love your buffalo chicken tacos. I’m a fellow RD in Florida. Love your blog and would love to win the cookbook
I like Prevention RD on Facebook!
The meal that last (and pretty much always wows me) is from a local healthy fast food joint. They always use organic, local, and low calorie ingredients. I am in love with their sweet potato fries, but since it’s not necessarily well balanced to order multiple orders of those fries, I get teriyaki chicken strip. DELICIOUS.
BUT…there is a recipe from PreventionRD that really means a lot to me. During the week of the Boston Marathon, I was living in Boston. The only way I got through the lockdown was by cooking your Athenian orzo. Though, I only had quinoa and couldn’t really go out to the store and get orzo. The quinoa really worked well, and I’ve remembered the meal since. It’s going to be the meal I eat every April 15th as a sort of memorial.
I have a batch of your Vegan Baked Oatmeal in my freezer for easy breakfasts!
Will it be autographed? If I win, can I have it autographed 😉 I made the most awesome beef roast on Friday night. It was cooked in a low oven until it was perfectly medium rare. Here’s a link to the “recipe”. http://allrecipes.com/recipe/slow-roasted-beef-for-sandwiches/detail.aspx
Congrats again on your cookbook!!
I just made chocolate chip banana bread, and it was ‘wow.’ Should have been called cake, but if it’s called bread, I can have it for breakfast, right?
I already ‘like’ you on facebook!
My lunch today more than wowed me. I enjoyed various kinds of tofu, sushi and then ended my meal with tofu ice cream in Kyoto…followed by an equally wow dinner in Osaka with takoyaki and crab from the world famous Kani Doraku. Needless to say I am stuffed and off to bed! Congrats again on your cookbook. I know the feeling…it is amazing…enjoy it! You deserve it!

Last week I made your corn & lentil tacos. They wowed me! So simple, but tasty!

Hi there,
I like you on Facebook.. and, my favorite recipe as of late is a simple fish taco thing with a creamy siracha/mayo/sesame oil/agave sauce (it is fish, slaw mix, feta, mango salsa and this amazing concoction of sauce in corn tacos… or, if I’m feeling lazy simply as a salad).
I recently made the chicken enchilads from your blog. Loved them! Great weeknight meal.

I just made your pumpkin banana muffins and they were delicious. Very September-worthy!
Hi Nicole! Oh, my! Where to start! As I have mentioned before, I fell into your blog by a friend who picked one of your recipes for our supper club (drunken pasta recipe). Since then, which was about 6 weeks ago, I have made and LOVED the Chicken Soulvaki (twice), the Homemade Hamburger Helper, Creamy Onion Dip, Best Beef and Brocolli, and the Peaches and Cream Popcicles. You are my go-to gal for dinners now! Thank you!
To say that I “liked” you on Facebook is an understatement! I’d love to win your cookbook!

Oh, I can’t remember what you officially named it, but it was a vegetarian guiness “beef” stew that was divine. I can’t wait until it gets a little cooler so I can make it again. Best of luck on your cookbook! I’d love to get my hands on one because I think we share similar taste buds 🙂
I love your site! The crockpot lasagna is a fav. I’d love your cookbook!! 😀
