“the good neighbor cookbook” giveaway
This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my disclosure policy.
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!

Who doesn’t like a homemade baked good!? That would just be un-American. :) I am personally a fan of bars with nuts and chocolate. Or perhaps something salty and sweet!

I’ve ‘liked’ Gimme Some Oven for a long time! :)
I love to share chocolate chip cookie dough truffles or whatever quick bread I have the supplies on hand to make into mini loaves to share :).
My favorite recipe to share with neighbors is my baked macaroni and cheese.

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!
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!
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.
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.
i like to share my recipe for caramel corn!
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..
my favourite thing to share is carrot cake!

I love sharing simple homemade chocolate chip cookies!
It depends on the occasion, probably a baked good (cookies, bars, cupcakes) or an easy casserole that can be frozen or reheated.

I love sharing my lavender treats with everyone. We have a small lavender farm, and I love experimenting. My honey lavender caramels are REALLY good, but I get most requests for the lavender cheesecake.
My family has an annual strawberry festival in honor of my grandfather. Every year, I bake strawberry cobbler to share with them.
I love baking cranberry bread and banana bread for neighbors – it’s simple to make, tasty, and easy to carry over.
I’ve also liked the cookbook on Facebook, and I’ve liked the gimme some oven page for a while!
I usually take a baked chicken breast dish with swiss cheese and white wine sauce.
Every christmas my family makes gross upon gross of cookies, with peanut butter blossoms being the favorite. I would have to say that is my favorite to share with others. :D
Did not know we had to say we liked a page. Well I liked this website on fb. (email) mentiramivida6 [at] yahoo [dot] com. And like to share many recipes. Another one I like to share is my colorful caramel muffins.
I love anything that can be made to freeze well, like a nice big lasagna. Yum.

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!
I’ve liked Gimme Some Oven and The Good Neighbor Cookbook on Facebook.
Baked goods, when it’s not too hot to run the oven.
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!
