Thanks to everyone who participated in this week’s Meal Makeover Moms Cookbook Giveaway! Tonight we selected a random winner:
Hi’Lesha who is one of 9 people (the third most popular flavor in our contest) for Chocolate Chip Muffins. Congrats, Hi’Lesha! We’ll contact you by email and have the book sent out.
Other popular muffin choices included Blueberry (with a whopping 20 votes) and Banana Nut (which received 10 votes). The strangest – though delicious sounding – muffin recommendation came from Anne, who said -
My favorite muffin is actually a majorly savoury one; that I haven’t had for years!
They are muffins with bacon, cheese and I’m pretty sure were made with cream of mushroom soup……….grrr I’m going to have to hunt that recipe down now!
Anne, can we get that recipe too??
We also saw some excellent advice from some of our readers.
Jeanne says “The best tip I can offer is to let my husband do the baking – he’s a whiz with the oven. I cook, he bakes.” Wingnut also advises against using silicone muffin cups “they’re too thick, and the muffin ends up sticking to the cup and they don’t unpeel very attractively.” David recommends the use of parchment paper (I agree! every time – “Parchment paper allows you to be more precise in baking cookies, because you can remove them all from the pan at the same moment. Plus, you can make more cookies faster, which is never a bad thing.” Oh how true that is…and finally, Amy and Beeb both use applesauce when they bake to keep the fat down without taking away from the taste.
Come back next week for another cookbook giveaway on Robust Cooking!

Rachel:
I’m so glad you gave away a copy of The Moms’ Guide to Meal Makeovers. I wrote the book with fellow dietitian Janice Bissex, to help fellow moms and dads get healthy, kid-friendly meals on the table quickly. I hope Hi’Lisha enjoys it!
Janice and I are working on a second cookbook, so stay tuned. In the meantime, tune into our weekly radio podcast for new family-pleasing recipes and tips.

The cookbook was a big hit Liz, just judging from the response in the comments.
I definitely know how easy it is to slip into lazy (read: unhealthy!) habits if you’re not armed with the right ingredients and approach that doesn’t take up too much time. So it was totally a pleasure to feature a book on Robust Cooking that has those things in mind!
