I want you to be as excited as I am, so I’m GIVING AWAY copies!!
If you’ve been following my blog (if not, subscribe now so you won’t miss anything), you know there are already contest winners eagerly awaiting the Nov 1 release date for their free copies of the Too Blessed to be Stressed Cookbook.
Well guess what? You can be a winner too!
All you have to do is promise you’ll post a review on Goodreads and/or Amazon after you get the Cookbook – I trust you to follow through, of course, BBFF (Blessed Blog Friend Forever) – and drop me an e-mail to that effect. (Click on “e-mail”)
Your name will go into the drawing for SIX happy Cookbook winners, to be announced right here on Monday, Nov 16.
You’ll receive your prize in time to enjoy the awesome Thanksgiving and Christmas dishes, and get a hearty chuckle over the funny holiday stories tucked between recipes like this one:
Chuckle Break: Mystery Guest
From the Too Blessed to be Stressed Cookbook
Don’t you just hate it when you overcook your holiday turkey? That shriveled up thigh meat shrinks right up their naked little leg bones till it looks like the bird’s wearing high-waters.
One day I was grousing about this very thing to my friend Ruth (who could give Rachel Ray a run for her money in a cook-off), and she suggested I spatchcock my next turkey.
“Um… what?” I asked, thoroughly confused. “Shuttlecock my bird? I don’t have a badminton racket big enough to whack a sixteen-pound birdie. Will a tennis racket do?”
“No,” she replied, trying to keep a straight face at my ignorance. “Spatchcock. It means remove the backbone and flatten out the turkey so it will cook evenly. The skin turns out crispy and the meat perfect. I won’t serve turkey any other way.”
I truly thought I was being bamboozled, but when I went online and searched “spatchcock,” sure enough there was a video of an aproned man de-backboning a turkey then squashing it flat so the poor thing looked like it flew into the front grill of a semitruck.
So maybe I’ll give it a try. And then I can tell everyone we’re having a special guest for dinner this Thanksgiving – Alfred Spatchcock.

I'd love to read and review this 🙂 I post a number of reviews on my blog each month, and this would be a good fit. I really enjoyed "Too Blessed to be Stressed," so I was excited to see this book advertised.
Sounds like a great book.
Oh my goodness, Deb, you are too funny! I would have thought she was pulling my leg too!
I don't want a cookbook, since I am SOOO NOT a cook! But I hope I can get some of your other stuff, calendars, etc.
It was so nice to meet you at the Brandon Christian Writer's meeting last summer.
Thanks for the laughs!!
