Win-It Wednesday: Food Network Magazine Great Easy Meals Cookbook (10 Winners!)

by Tara Kuczykowski on April 27, 2011 · 617 comments

Join me every week for Win-It Wednesday, with 24-hour giveaways just for you!

If you're the person who never knows what's for dinner until the very last minute, you'll love the Food Network Magazine Great Easy Meals cookbook, with 250 quick recipes to spice up your dinner from drab to fab.

I love Food Network Magazine, so I was excited to see what their latest book had to offer. As promised, it delivers lots of fast and easy recipes with additional kitchen tips from the stars sprinkled throughout. I especially love the visual recipe index in the front of the book and the Mix & Match sections at the end of each chapter that give you a customizable recipe.

I was also thrilled that they included a number of tasty side dishes. We're perfectly happy eating basic grilled chicken, pork, and burgers frequently during the warmer months if we can pair them with a variety of sides.

We paired this quinoa with some simple grilled chicken for a fast, easy, filling and tasty meal tonight! It's a variation on the Israelis Couscous with Raisins recipe. We didn't have any couscous, so I improvised -- and the resulting side was delicious!
