Enter for a Cookbook Giveaway -- Blissful Bites


We have a winner!  Ashley's entry was chosen by random.org as the winner.  Ashley, please contact me with your mailing info to forward to the publisher.

I told you that there would be more awesome cookbook giveaways this summer.

I wasn't kidding!

I was so fortunate to receive a copy of Blissful Bites: Vegan Meals That Nourish Mind, Body and Planet by Christy Morgan so I could review it.  This book has kept me up late at night, because I couldn't put it down to go to bed.  Christy Morgan has written a book with an emphasis on healthful, whole foods, which she explains can make eating "blissful."  This book is upbeat, colorful and full of tips and advice about how to eat more in tune with your body and the planet.

Each chapter is broken down by season so that you are cooking what makes sense at each particular time of year.  I love that idea!

Most of the more than 175 recipes in this book are gluten-free and all are vegan.  Although many contain soy, the recipes are clearly marked as soy-free and gluten-free.  Although Christy uses nuts, I had plenty of recipes to choose from in my nut-free kitchen.

Tropical Three Bean Salad was so delicious!


Some of the yummy recipes in this book include:
  • Nectarine Cobbler Smoothie
  • Apple Salsa
  • Lemon-Roasted Beets, Brussels and Yams
  • Black Eyed Pea BBQ Stew
  • and Heavenly Raw Chocolate Mousse.

Are you hungry yet?

I hope so, because the publisher of Blissful Bites wants to send a copy to a lucky Welcoming Kitchen reader!  

To enter, please leave a comment saying why you'd like to win.  For another entry, like Welcoming Kitchen on Facebook and leave a comment saying that you did (or already do).  For another follow Welcoming Kitchen on Twitter or Kim Lutz on Pinterest and leave comments saying that.  

The winner will be chosen by a random number generator.  All comments must be made by noon CST, Friday, July 27.  You must have a US address to enter.

You can keep up with Christy on Twitter, Facebook and on her website, theblissfulchef.com.

Good Luck (and Happy Cooking)!
Kim

Have just started a diary and Gluten free way of life and finding it hard to find things whole family will eat. We aren't big meat eaters so would love some ideas on making sure we all get nutrients we need.

follow you on Facebook too.

This is a second entry for Chelse van Rijn because of Facebook.

I would love to win a copy. I have been following her blog and love her energy/ideas and recipes. It would be interesting to get an idea of what going totally vegan would look like. Going gluten free has done a lot to heal my body, but I also know that increasing my veggie intake has also helped alot.

I'd like to win it as a gift for my sister who is oh-so-on-the-verge of becoming a vegan and just needs a little nudge like this to push her over the edge. ;)

Keri said...

We have many allergies in our family and are always looking for new recipes to try. I love that the recipes are broken down seasonally!
