Win a Trader Joe's cookbook!

By Alicia W. Roberts

MomsCharlotte.com

The title of this book may be "The I Love Trader Joe's College Cookbook," but I'll tell you, it's the perfect dinner-in-a-pinch solution for busy parents.

The book includes 150 easy, wholesome recipes, including:

- Chickpea Penne ("Easiest. Pasta. Ever.") - Roasted Chicken With Leeks and Apples (Less than an hour to the table.) - Meat Loaf Muffins (Need I say more?)

You'll also find quick vegetarian meals, snacks/appetizers (Thai Red Curry Deviled Eggs are on my list), special occasion meals, microwave meals for when you're really in a hurry (What kid wouldn't eat chicken parmesan strips?), and - YES! - desserts. I'm trying the three-ingredient Sunflower Seed Butter Cookies as soon as possible.

All of the recipes feature Trader Joe's products and generally involve no more than a handful of ingredients. The book, by food writer Andrea Lynn, is published by Ulysses Press.

We have several books to give away. All you have to do is tell us about your favorite Trader Joe's product. Mine? The PB & A - otherwise known as Peanuts, Berries & Almonds. It's an excellent snack to keep in your handbag when you're running your dozens of errands.

Contest ends at midnight next Wednesday, Aug. 3. So hurry up and enter! Post your entry in the forums!
