If I could only eat one meal a day, it would be breakfast. I love, love breakfast. I love breakfast so much that when I am feeling too lazy to cook dinner, I’ll whip up a poached egg and turkey bacon sandwich or (my very favorite) banana pancakes. When the Aunt Jemima Frozen Breakfast team approached me about doing a giveaway, I  jumped at the opportunity. I sampled their product last fall at the Blogalicious conference and was impressed that their pancakes were made with real food. I’m talking eggs, milk and flour. Real food and not full of preservatives and stuff I couldn’t pronounce.  I’ve not done a lot of giveaways on this site, but promised you that when I found a product (or service) I really liked, I’d share the love. Well, here’s your chance!  I’m giving away to one lucky reader the following goodies:

• Ten (10) coupons for FREE  full-sized boxes of Aunt Jemima Frozen Pancakes or Waffles
• Copy of celebrity chef and Food Network host Aaron McCargo Junior’s cook book full of fabulous party and comfort food
• One Aunt Jemima cooking apron
• One Aunt Jemima insulated freezer bag, perfect for grocery shopping and keeping your frozen items cool.
• Aunt Jemima recipe cards full of great meal ideas for busy families

I love that there is a movement afoot to get families to cook and eat meals together; with obesity and Type 2 diabetes on the rise in this country and around the world,  we’ve got to do something to take control of the food we put in our own and our children’s mouths.  In previous posts, I’ve written about a few of my favorite cooking blogs including Dinner a Love Story and Mom’s Kitchen Handbook and more recently Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution.  Just when I thought I didn’t need any more recipes or ideas for creating delicious nutritious homemade meals, along comes Chef Jeff Pirtle. Chef Jeff reached out to me to see if I would be interested in sharing his new cookbook with my readers. While I don’t normally do giveaways on Boss Mom, I’m passionate about food, nutrition and cooking and was intrigued enough to check Chef Jeff and his cookbook out.

A native of Seattle, Jeff Pirtle trained as a chef with advanced training in dietary management.  After years of working for top eateries and an extended stint as a private chef, he decided to launch his venture to get families to eat healthily.

The DinneRevolution cookbook is well-organized and features over 200+ recipes – most of which take less than 30 minutes to prepare. The recipes are nutritious, easy to prepare and budget friendly.  Here’s a sample of a recipe we tried out:

Chef Jeff absolutely will not sell your e-mail address so you don’t have to worry about being spammed to death. What he is asking though is for feedback on his recipes so if you try something you like, let him know! His cookbook retails for $27.00 so this is a terrific offer. Let’s get cooking.
