Twenty of My Favorite Recipes Book Giveaway – CLOSED

Walgreens Recipe BookAs part of the Foodbuzz Tastemaker Program, I was supplied a gift card to try out Walgreens Photo Center.  I already use their same-day online photo printing, so I took the opportunity to create a product from their photo gift options instead.  Because of all of their options – from personalized photo mugs, calendars, mouse pads, collages and more – it took me some time to decide what to make.  Finally, I had an idea.  I chose to put together a photo recipe book of 20+ of my favorite recipes from Pennies on a Platter and then give one away to one of you!

On Walgreens’ online photo center site, you can upload any of your photos then use them to display in a hard-cover book.  There are hundreds of template and design options to choose from.  I chose one that was kitchen-themed.  Even though the layout choices are very limited (how to display your photos and text) you really can’t beat the quality for the price!  Plus, after I was done putting it all together online, it was ready for me to pick up within the hour!

Walgreens Recipe Book2Would you like this recipe book?  Just leave me a comment below with the name of your favorite recipe on Pennies on a Platter, or if you are new here, then tell me which recipe on the blog you can’t wait to make!   Contest closes 10/19 at 10 PM PST. Next week I will announce the winner and will personally send you the recipe book (maybe even autographed… ha!).   Wouldn’t it be cool to have this book that probably includes some of your favorites, too?  You wouldn’t have to print it off my site anymore and save some ink and paper!  See?  Win-win!  😉

(I’ll be out of town for a few days at a retreat where I’m not sure I’ll have internet access.  So, if you leave a comment and don’t see it right away, I will publish it when I return.)

  1. I really liked the “Balsamic Strawberry Pizza with Chicken, Sweet Onion and Applewood Smoked Bacon.” Not only does it have potentially the longest name ever for a pizza, it is really good and different tasting. I did not think everything would work out, but I trusted the recipe and it was a good call. Everyone should make this pizza at least once in their life.

  2. 4 words…COOKIE DOUGH EGG ROLLS!! I must make these ASAP! Love your site and can’t wait to try so many of your recipes! 🙂

  4. I cannot wait to try your baked pumpkin donuts. My husband ADORES anything pumpkin…and so perfect for fall time.

  6. I’ve only tried your mac and cheese. It was great and my family likes it too. This would be a great Christmas gift filled with the family favorites.

  9. The big and chewy chocolate chip cookies are the best chocolate chip cookies I have ever had! Thank you for an amazing blog!

  10. The big and chewy chocolate chip cookies are the best chocolate chip cookies I have ever eaten. Thank you for an amazing blog!

  13. I love the recipe on pulled pork – between you and Ree, I’m inspired to make it the very first recipe I test in my new slow cooker! (Can’t open it yet, as it’s a wedding gift, but soon!) Thanks for the giveaway, and the Holiday Season present idea!

  16. Found your Green Monster Smoothie on pinterest and have been following your blog ever since. I am really looking forward to the fried pickles. I love checking your site on a daily basis!

  18. I am loving the idea of using online photo books to use as a recipe colection!!
    My top choices would be you Corned Beef and Cabbage Pizza and your Chewy Giant Chocolate Chip Cookies! Yum!!

    Have a Great Day!

  20. I came to your site for the first time a few weeks ago when a friend at work sent me the link to a pumpkin recipe. I loved reading back through all your recipes! The first recipe I tried were the pumpkin donut holes….to take to work and we all loved them!!
    I now check your site every few days to see what new recipes I want to try.

    Next up are some of your awesome cookie recipes! With my kids grown and married, I’ll have to take some into work so my husband and I don’t eat them all!

    Love your site and would love to have a recipe book!

  21. I just discovered your blog this past weekend…the very top recipe caught my eye (Pretzel Rolls) because a week ago I had a restaurant burger on a Pretzel Bun that was delicious. I plan to try your recipe to make some at home!

  23. Just finished making the Pumpkin Donut Holes – yum yum! My husband is the Chief Administrator at our church and will be taking them to the staff meeting tomorrow. Would love to be a winner!

  24. I had great success with your mini twice baked potatoes! I served them as a side dish at dinner and they were gobbled up!

  25. What a great idea! I should start making those with my own recipes so I have them all at hand! 🙂

    I just made the Pumpkin Spice Baked Donut Holes — wow. Serious deliciousness!

  28. LOVE the garlic rice pilaf and cannot wait to try the Pretzel rolls and pumpkin donut holes. Hubby will be making the rolls on Wednesday and we will trty the donut holes as soon as I get a mini-muffin pan.

  30. Our favorites so far– apricot-coconut chicken, and I love the healthy banana chunky monkey ice cream. A guilt-free pleasure. 😉 I’m looking forward to trying your pumpkin pancakes! Love this blog. Thank you!!!

  31. I LOVE the Santa Fe burgers! I’ve made them several times since finding them on your blog. My hubby and everyone else I’ve made them for love them, too.

  32. Sorry, I couldn’t resist complimenting you on your delicious chicken taquitos. My hubby & I loved them. As a new mom, I really appreciate your site for meal ideas!!

  34. Just discovered pinterest.com and from that discovered your recipe for creamy chicken pockets….can’t wait to try those!
    So, I’m extremely new to your website – but I look forward to spending time through it!

  35. The Box of Chocolates Cupcakes are so cute! 🙂 I haven’t done them up yet, but maybe for this coming Valentine’s Day, I will!

  36. what a smart idea!! thanks for sharing it with us (: i have tons of recipes that i’ve tried/created and i always wanted to make some type of scrapbook/recipe book to pass on too my future kids!

    mm i definitely can’t wait to try your sweet potato casserole for thanksgiving! (:

  40. I love the pretzel rolls recipe! I have made them three times this weekend. I also tried the oven fried pickles recipe, but I did fry mine (bad habits are hard to break.lol).

  42. I have an unnatural love for all things pumpkin. Fall is by far my favorite season, although I think some of that might be due to my birthday, but really it’s because of the pumpkin. I was so excited to try out your recipe for pumpkin butter. I went to the store and bought all the ingredients that I didn’t have in my pantry (which wasn’t much) and made it that same day….it was delicious!!! Thansks for sharing!

  44. Sparkling Lemonade has been wonderful in August and Sept, now I need something to quench my thirst that has fall flavor!

  46. Very clever idea. Would be a great Christmas gift for my married daughters and my daughter-in-law. Love it!

  47. It’s so hard to pick just one – but, hands down, the most frequently made recipe is your Foil packet potatoes! We have made these many times over this past summer and loved how crispy the potatoes were while not having to heat up the entire house!

  48. Since it’s Fall and pumpkin season I would like to try your “Baked Pumpkin Spice Donut Holes”….I think my family would love them.

  52. I’m new to your site but your recipes sound sooo tasty! I can’t wait to try your corn casserole!

  53. oven fried pickles!! my husband and i have made the real fried ones before but i can’t wait to try the baked variety!

  55. I’ve been waiting for a good reason to make your different soft pretzel bites. Just haven’t found the right occassion yet!

  60. I just found your site and it is amazing! I love the way you put recipes in a recipe card form so they can be printed and saved!I so can’t wait to make the pretzel rolls! my kids are always wanting pretzels – now I can make them! Thanks for sharing with us! Keep it up!

  61. Your creamy chicken taquitos were OUT OF THIS WORLD!!! Loved them and I had extra to freeze, BONUS!!! Can’t wait to make more recipes! Really, really appreciate this blog, as a busy working Mom it’s a life saver!

  63. I am a new follower and just made the English muffin bread and love it and can always have some in the freezer. Can’t wait to try the pretzel bread rolls next. Love how easy and delicious your recipes are and can actually work them into my crazy life. I am thrilled to be baking again. Thank you.

  65. I really want to make your pumpkin donuts. They look so yummy. Thanks for the chance to enter.

  66. While there are so many of your recipes that I am eager to try, I think the Pumpkin Butter and the Pizza Margherita are the first two I need to try. I want to use my homegrown butternut squash for the Pumpkin butter, as it will add it’s own sweetness. I love that kind of pizza, too, and this year I have my own garlic from the garden (tomatoes too, of course) and goat cheese from our goats, although believe it or not, I never got up to planting any basil this year! Shucks. I think I will teach my 10-year-old to make the crust, so I don’t have to worry about that part. Because your recipes use so many healthy ingredients, it’s fun to try to make it all home-grown (although I am going to try the seven-layer {magic bars} soon too, and we don’t grow ANY of those ingredients here. chuckle
    btw, your photography always amazes me. I sit and try to figure out how you could have know that that was just the right angle and just the right backdrop. They are ALWAYS gorgeous photos with LOTS of creativity.
    Next time you come to visit your parents, you need to come out with your Mom and sister and visit our horses and goats with Judah. We usually have some baby goats around and the horses LOVE giving rides to little guys (my littlest is 1 year today).

    thanks for all the tasty ideas and pictures you share, and for creating such a FUN blog to read, 🙂 katie graves

  67. It’s hard to pick a favorite but it’s probably a toss up between cornflake chicken strips all year and your snickerdoodle recipe is an absolute fall staple at my house!

  68. I love the Chocolate Chip Scones, but I am dying to try the Cookie Dough Egg Rolls….they sound delish!! I would love to have your book! I love your recipes!!

  69. We love the “Snappy Chicken Satay.” My husband has affectionately renamed it the “Peanut Butter Chicken.” Yum!

  72. I have been reading your blog for awhile and it is great! I cannot wait to make the pretzel rolls!! They look delicious and I am waiting for you to post the recipe with the burgers on them 🙂

  74. I only recently found your site. That said, I already have three recipes bookmarked and on this week’s menu. Tonight, we’ll be trying your Chicken Ranch Pizza. And this weekend? I’m totally making that pumpkin butter to spread on our waffles. I would absolutely love to add your book to my ever-growing cookbook collection. I have a feeling it would be a go-to resource for me!

    Great idea, by the way. What a lovely gift that would make for a bride or young mother!

  76. I have had your ultimate flourless chocolate cupcakes bookmarked forever and I can’t wait to try them!

  80. Really, everything is fantastic! I want to try the Mexican lasagna, it is right up my alley. YUMMM.

  85. I am intrigued by the tator tots. one of these days i will make those b/c they look really good! thanks for having such unique recipes on your blog. i look forward to reading it

  86. I just signed up for your site a few weeks ago, but so far the oven fried pickles and chicken nuggets (similar to chick-fil-a) are two that I printed out and plan to make soon!

  88. 7 layer bars!!! Are you kidding me? Can’t wait to indulge in one of these with a nice big cup of hot chocolate and a good book 🙂

  89. Tough call! Well, I LOVE your recipe for Chocolate Peanut Butter Surprise cookies…those are AMAZING! I adore almost everything you make. In fact, today, I am making your recipe for whole wheat oatmeal bread, because that looks amazing too!

  92. As a young(ish) lady in law school, I don’t have a lot of time to make food. The easier and quicker the better! I started following this site after I saw numerous pins from it on Pinterest, and I love it! Practically every recipe is something that even a limited skill cook as myself can accomplish. Being from the south, football is a huge part of everyday life, and I am bringing the Pizza Bites to tailgating for the Homecoming game this weekend. I gave my friends some options to pick from(all from this website), and the Pizza Bites were the undoubtable winner. This will be the first time for me to make them, but I’m confident that they will turn out fabulous and be perfect for a fall football get-together!

  95. Hello! I’m new to your blog and I would love to try almost all of your recipes. But I’m intruige with the Oven “Fired” Pickles. My kids and hubby’s favorite is Pizza so I will try also the Chicken Ranch Pizza.

  96. My girlfriend, Karin, ‘liked’ you on Facebook so I came over to check you out and ended up subscribing! They all look great but I think that I have to try the ‘oven fried pickles’! I’ve tried them at a local pub and didn’t really like how they did theirs but yours look like they would be great! Thanks for the chance to win!!!

  99. I am new to pennies on a platter. i have looked through a few of your recipes and there are several i cant wait to try. i love fried pickles but i have never had and made in an oven, i am thinking that will be my next new cooking adventure!!

  105. I have been dying to try your baked pumpkin spice donut holes. I even “pinned” it to pinterest!

  107. I can’t wait to try out the Baked Pumpkin Donut Holes you posted last week. Those are on my list to make this weekend. Thanks for the chance to win!

  108. I love the idea of food as a gift around holidays ! The pumpkin butter would be great for thanksgiving time ! =) it’s so delicious

  109. We haven’t tried it yet but its next on my list of recipes to try. The Coconut Chicken with Apricot Sauce looks sooooo yummy! And it looks like something that my kids would enjoy which makes it even more awesome.

  110. My boyfriend recently moved to California from the South and misses Chik-fil-A, so when I found a couple chicken recipes on your site that promised to taste like Chik-fil-A, I rushed out to make it for us–very tasty! Today I’m on a pumpkin mission and have bookmarked your pumpkin bread french toast– can’t wait to make it!

  112. I haven’t made them yet, but my favorite on your blog are the ham and cheese pretzel bites. That was the recipe that drew me in the first place. 🙂

  113. I am a newbie to your blog (I saw someone post the Pretzel Rolls on Pinterest yesterday), but I am very excited to try the Pretzel Rolls and the Oven “Fried” Pickles. I am a huge fan of fried pickles and yours look even better than regular fried ones!

  114. The cookie dough egg rolls, absolutely GENIUS! Absolutely can’t wait to make these little babies!

  115. I’m pretty new to your site but I’ve made your green monster smoothie almost daily. They are out-of-this-world good!

  116. This may be a boring choice, but I am still IN LOVE with your tortilla recipe! I made them for the first time a week ago… and have made them 3 times since. They are amazing and I’m pretty sure I’ll never buy storebought tortillas again!

  117. I’m a newbie to the cooking scene, but I’ve been oogling your recipes for weeks now, and as soon as our blender arrives, my roomie and I are going to give your 5-minute Chunky Monkey ice cream a try! Can’t wait 🙂

  118. I love this idea – I should try it out with my mom’s recipes or my own! My fav is your chocolate chip banana bread and spaghetti meat sauce. Both are freezer staples for us!

  121. I’m new so I haven’t made anything yet but I plan to make the pumpkin butter which looks wonderful. And my youngest daughter loves to make eggrolls, so when I saw your post on the cookie eggrolls I printed it off for her. Thanks for a wonderful blog.

  122. I have made your chili for my family. They really enjoyed it. It’s definitely a keeper. I was actually thinking about it the other day now that the weather is FINALLY turning in Texas.

  123. ONE?!? Just one favorite?? Impossible. Pumpkin bars, pumpkin scones, chocolate chip scones, Benchiladas, pretzel bites, almedras, gambas al ajillo, the April Fools spaghetti recipe… there are so many! Cute idea with the book by the way! That would make a great wedding gift, a gift for someone living on their own for the first time, etc. You are so creative!

  124. Hey Nikki!! I just discovered your blog, but I already spent way too much time going through all your old posts and lining up which recipes to make. First on the list is definitely the recipe for the pumpkin spice donut holes. I love that they’re baked instead of fried (seeing all that grease grosses me out) and pumpkin is perfect for fall. Thanks for posting such yummy looking recipes!

    PS If I happen to win the recipe book I would definitely love an autograph! 🙂

  133. Definitely the Cajun chicken pasta. I’m from Southern Mississippi so I think that’s kind of an automatic, haha. It turned out great 😀
