Chicken Marsala with Mushrooms and Garlic and SOS! The Six O'Clock Scramble GIVEAWAY!
Chicken Marsala with Mushrooms and Garlic and SOS! The Six O'Clock Scramble GIVEAWAY!
Last, but not least, of the blogiversary cookbook giveaways is SOS! The Six O'Clock Scramble by Aviva Goldfarb. Aviva is another nationally successful local Washingtonian cookbook author. Her book is for the super efficient moms and dads and families on the run! For a quick, delicious, and nutritious homemade meal with seasonal ingredients. I who act mostly on impulse and not much planning need to learn a thing or two from her brilliant menu planning, so that, Jonathan and I won't have those mid week uh-oh moments when all my energies I focus on making Sufganiyot-Israeli Jelly Doughnuts for Chanukah and shooting it from every angle. It is a helpful guide to mainstream a family to run an efficient plan ahead menu, grocery shopping so you can get your kids after a busy day at the office, to soccer practice, a piano lesson, and still manage to gather around the kitchen table for a meal together. The Six O'Clock Scramble is cleverly planned cookbook with a chapter on the well stocked kitchen: the scramble staples list and another one with a seasonal guide to fruits and vegetables.
Then it is sectioned by seasonal menu planning. Each recipe is brimming with helpful tips and information such as suggestions for side dishes, flavor enhancement tips, nutritional value and much, much more. Every seasonal chapter not only contains incredible menus, but also, just as an example Spring has tips on starting your own garden, start small Aviva says. Not only the satisfaction of growing your own fruits and vegetables, but also the benefit extends beyond to a better tasting local produce, and cheaper to help contain your budget. Smart shopping for organic produce in the Summer chapter grabbed my attention, as I try to shop organic, but not as savvy. I marked that page as a favorite. Creative lunches and edible crafts are covered in the Fall chapter and Holiday gifts without the guilt and my kids ate brussels sprouts (and other strange but true stories) are in the Winter chapter. All this is the tip of the iceberg! So it is no surprise then that The Scramble was named one of Washington Post's top cookbooks of 2010. A must have! You can find the complete Washington Post list here. Named "Fastest and Freshest" by Real Simple Magazine! Rave reviews in "O" The Oprah Magazine, Working Mother and the Washington Post, Expert on PBS Parents!

*Note: I was so anxious to share this recipe and giveaway with you that I did not have a chance to make it yet. I marked it a favorite along with a Chili Rubbed Salmon with Garlic Roasted Fingerling Potatoes. I can't wait to making both for mid-week meals and hope my pics will be worthy to be added to this post.
I love when recipes give additional information, like side dish suggestions, pairings and nutrition. The boost of flavor option is nice as well. Huge help for anyone trying new recipes.
