“the good neighbor cookbook” giveaway
Many of you know that the reason I got into cooking (and now the reason I blog) is because I so strongly believe in the profound blessing that good food can be when shared with those you love.
So I am truly excited to introduce to you the newly-released cookbook for this week’s giveaway — “The Good Neighbor Cookbook”. Written by my friends, Suzanne and Sara, this cookbook celebrates the idea that “homemade food is a labor or love, but it need not be laborious”. Agreed!! So they have compiled a creative, easy and super-delicious collection of recipes to be shared, organized in chapters such as:
- Bringing Home Baby
- Get Well Soon
- Welcome To The Neighborhood
- Block Parties and Barbeques
- Meet and Eat: Community, Religious and Business Gatherings
- Novel Ideas for Book Clubs
- Condolences
I love it. Such a perfect resource to have on hand that overflows with thoughtful, practical cooking inspiration. So I’m excited to announce that we will be giving away a copy to five Gimme Some Oven readers this week! Read below for details on how to enter, and definitely check out the book on Amazon, or the Good Neighbor Cookbook website soon!

I love sharing baked goods (especially cupcakes) with my neighbors. A batch makes too many for my family and I know the neighborhood kids love them!
Baked goods, when it’s not too hot to run the oven.
I’m a college student who lives in a dorm. I love to cook but my neighbors don’t really share my enthusiasm! However I’ve shared a recipe for Jungle Juice that’s a hit at my dorm!

How about for today.. Spicy Mexican Soup.. Yeah I know it’s a tad warmish now.. But it’s cooking right now.. It’s quite delicious & in summer months I won’t reheat leftovers @ lunch just eat it ice cold.. Maybe I’m the only one..
i like to share my recipe for caramel corn!
I just made lemon bars and berry oat bars for a bake sale benefiting a family that lost 2 sons in the recent tornadoes. I love sharing the gift of food, and it’s even better if it is charitable.
Actually my favorite giveaway is homemade jams and jellies. Everyone loves them. I give them away with the instructions “if you return the jar it will be refilled again next year”. One of m co-workers hides my peach preserves at the back of her refridge so her husband can’t find it. They pour it over vanilla ice cream. My 20 year old is leaving home this weekend to start her ‘adult’ life. Her request, some of my jams to take with her….she will be 3000 miles away. And she wants chicken and dumplings for dinner before she goes.
In the summer, the classic for me is pasta salad. I have an amazing and super simple, fresh recipe. In the fall/winter months, it is definitely chicken tortilla soup. This recipe has been passed on and on and on, it’s a winner every time!
I like sharing fudge made with both milk and white chocolate. I usually layer the 2, but plan on swirling them next time I make it!
Pick me! I like to bring gumbo made with rotisserie chicken.

Mentiramivida6 at yahoo dot com. I love whipping up things noone would think of doing and making others try it. Last summer I made stuffed peppers with pasta (usually it’s stuffed with rice). Some were not sure it would pair well but they could not stop eating them once they ate one :)
My favorite meal to cook for neighbors or friends is chicken fettucinne with cheesy garlic bread, steamed broccoli, and oatmeal m&m brownies.
The most requested one is a boursin cheese and fig jam appetizer, but I am not sure it qualifies as a recipe since it is so easy!

Well…if I’m going for something sweet, I’ll usually make either raspberry filled cookies or scandinavian almond bars. Both get very good feedback…but if I want to share something savory, white chicken chili or my mom’s special rice recipe (it has bacon…nobody can say no to bacon!).

The recipe I love to share with new neighbors – hoenstly, that depends on the neighbor. On one side, I actually invited him and his son over for a BBQ and we ended up swapping rib recipes. The other side of the house, I shared a family “brownie/cookie” recipe. I don’t think there’s one generic recipe to be shared, though. Life would be too boring if there was!
I like being a good neighbor! Where do I get this cookbook????
I love to share my Hawaiian Shish Kabob recipe with friends and neighbors, but I really enjoy feeding of them.

Love to share my favorite recipe for chocolate chip cookies!
I like the good neighbor cookbook
MY favourite recipe to give a neighbor is one that was given to ME by a neighbor several years ago. CHOCOLATE CHIP CHEESECAKE! It was so good that I begged for the recipe and now it’s my families #1 requested dessert. People are so blessed,as I was when I got my first one, by the thoughtful gift of time spent baking a real cheesecake ….there’s really no substitute for a caring neighbor!

My favorite recipe to share is whatever I’ve brought to a function. I’m always trying new recipes, and people usually love it, so I bring copies to share!
I love to share so many desserts with my neighbors! If I had to pick one, it would be Irish Cream Cheesecake.

I love sharing bread with neighbors and coworkers, and always bake an extra batch to give away (there’s nothing as simple and lovely as a fresh loaf of homebaked bread). And I always make a tasty treat to share with neighbors at holidays; this year I made muesli and packaged it in lovely little Mason jars. It was a big hit.

Whenever I want to welcome a new friend, I always default on some variety of macarons. Though, to be fair, although macarons are a wonderful way to impress people, not everyone has the patience for these finicky French confections. ;)
