My life has become an insane mess of crazy lately. Remember how I said I was going to take some time off from teaching? Well, I might have changed my mind. I did so because I have two nonmortgage debts left to pay off and teaching this class will mean that I will have to use less of my savings to finish paying off one of them next month. Since the class will end before my trip to Disney World, which is the main reason why I turned down the others, I decided to suck it up and teach.
When you combine the teaching with the personal things I have going on (not to mention that I will be taking yoga classes two nights a week), my life is getting out of hand. However, one constant in my life is the fact that we need to eat. I have become enamored with Erin Chase, The $5 Dollar Dinner Mom. I absolutely love her recipes–they’re easy, practical, use normal ingredients, don’t take more than 45 minutes to make and are inexpensive (she takes her name very seriously). If it were not for her cookbooks and website, I believe my family would not eat. Seriously.
So I’ve decided that I need to share her books with the world (and by world, I mean those of you who read this blog). Yes, it’s time for the very first Daily Money Shot giveaway! I’m giving away copies of both of Erin’s books to one lucky winner.
You can enter the contest by in the following ways:
- Leave a comment with your favorite, or a link to your favorite, recipe (1 entry)
- Follow me on Twitter (1 entry)
- Subscribe via email or RSS (1 entry)
- Link the giveaway on your blog (3 entries)
Make sure you leave a comment letting me know how you entered; I want to make sure every entry gets counted! If you already follow me or subscribe (or both), make sure to let me know in the comments so I know to count you as well. You can use all available methods to enter the giveaway.
The contest closes on Sunday, November 13th at 8:00 PM EST. I’ll pick the winner via random.org and it will be announced in next Monday’s post.
Good luck!
And, if you can’t get enough of me, make sure you check me out at Richly Reasonable, Go Be Rich and/or Dining Out Challenge.

***I am very fickle when it comes to “favorite” recipes but because we are talking about cheap and delicious, I am currently loving getting three different meals out of this: http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2011/03/spicy-dr-pepper-shredded-pork/ (I use beef). Tonight I am making Chicken Tortilla Soup and I have a feeling that may be new favorite 🙂

My favorite recipe is “Easy PB Cookies”: Mix one egg, one cup of peanut butter and one cup of sugar together. Form into balls. Flatten on a cookie sheet. Bake for 10 minutes in a 350 degree oven. Makes 12 to 24 cookies, depending on how big you like them.
