She Says: Cookbook Giveaway Time!
I made some delicious soup tonight, and Mark liked it so much that he requested that I make variations of it once a week. It was Peanut with Sweet Potato Soup that we ended up eating with a bowl of brown rice. Sadly, I can’t share the recipe because it’s from a cookbook. But believe me, it was amazing!
The recipe comes from Dollars to Donuts: Comfort Food and Kitchen Wisdom from Route 66s Landmark Cafe, a book filled with tons of comfort recipes that will not cost a lot of money, in fact, each recipe lists the recipe’s cost.
This soup, for example, was unlike anything I’ve made and I loved it. It’s based on a Peanut Sauce used for three recipes in the book. It has a ton of great recipes I can use (there are a lot of meat recipes, but the ideas translate to meatless) and am excited to try out. Here is some of what is on my “To Make” list from this cookbook:
- No Cook Garden Vegetable Sauce
- Couscous with Dried Fruit, Butternut Squash & Tumeric
- Homemade Wonton Soup
- Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Pie with Press-In Butter Crust
- Three Banana Bread
- Pantry Veggie Burgers
- Red Beans & Rice
Doesn’t it have a lot of variety?
Continuing with my recent theme of Holiday Giveaways, I am happy to be able to give away a copy of Dollars to Donuts! Please leave a comment here to enter. I’ll pick a winner randomly on Monday, December 14th. Good luck!
THREE banana bread? Umm, yes please!:)

Yum that soup sounds great!
i need a new cookbook and obviously i’m now dying to try that soup!!
That soup looks delicious and the book sounds great too!
Wow, great recipes on a budget? Count me in!
I’m intrigued by all the breakfast-for-dinner options — that sounds a lot like dinner at our house
Thanks for this great, DELICIOUS giveaway!!
That sounds like a cool cookbook.
Never heard of this cookbook, but by the looks of that soup I am sure it has some other good recipes too!!
That soup looks so good!
This reminds me of that Sandra Lee show where she prices everything- it’s amazing what yummy food you can make on a budget, and Lord knows we could all spend a little less
wow, what an interesting combo! Sounds delish

This looks like an awesome book! I’d love to win
OOO I’d love this. Thanks for the giveaway!
Soup sounds great! I love me a good cookbook
It’s one of my dreams to drive Route 66 from beginning to end. Maybe I can live vicariously through the recipes in this cookbook until I can afford to make such a trip!
I really enjoy your blog!
The soup does sound fantastic. I love new cookbooks but always feel bad spending money on them because I have so many already and of course a million sources online (like blogs!). A free cookbook is a different story though
Looks like a really informative, useful cookbook! I’m forever trying to save money, so this would be perfect!
This would be perfect for my dad!!
Sounds interesting!
