100th Post!!! ...and the first cookbook giveaway!!

This is my 100th blog post since starting Recipes from Newlyweds last August. I have had so much fun collecting and sharing recipes. Writing the blog has given me a great excuse to try new recipes and keeps me motivated not to just fall back into the same old things!

I truly appreciate all of you who have sent recipes for me to post on my blog! I have loved trying them! When I started the blog last year, I wanted to create a way that I could trade recipes with friends who were trying fun, new things in their kitchens - so please keep them coming! You can e-mail them to me at recipesfromnewlyweds@gmail.com.

I'm hoping to have a few updates, like having an easy-access recipe index. Until then, the label cloud and search bar to the right can help you find past recipes by keywords or ingredients. If you haven't been following from the beginning, please go back and check out the older recipes. I occasionally go back and update recipes as I remake them and have new ideas. If you've made any of the recipes, I would love to get your thoughts and ideas about them in the comments section (I love comments!).

To celebrate my 100th post, I'm having my first giveaway! I hope that I will be able to have more in the future and have been talking with some folks about getting some promotional copies of really great cookbooks! The cookbook that I will be giving away this week is called, Mmmm Casseroles. In talking with some of you before, I know we’ve said that good nightly dinners can be difficult to find. So this cookbook features great casseroles and other one-dish meals, like stews and savory cobblers. Each person is allowed two entries in the giveaway. You can enter by leaving a comment on this post and by becoming a follower of the blog. If you are already a follower and would like two entries, let me know in your comment. Having more followers means that I will probably be able to get more companies to give us promotional cookbooks in the future! Please enter before Friday, September 3rd at 8:00 am. I will then be using a website to randomly pick a winner and will ship the cookbook. I hope you will all be part of my first giveaway!
