{Meal Plan + Giveaway} Donna Hay Simple Dinners Cookbook

This giveaway is now closed.  Congratulations to Taryn S for winning the new Donna Hay cookbook.  

I am a big Donna Hay fan, I love her simplicity in cooking, recipes are not extravagant, her cheat options make cooking easy and the end result always tastes delicious.  I was excited to learn of her new cookbook, Simple Dinners.   We are very busy during the week, with 2 nights out till late with the kids at Karate.  So having some simple weeknight dinners planned is essential.  

In this cookbook, most recipes (140+ recipes) are pantry friendly, with it divided and categorised into pantry items.  Chapters are  Bread – Eggs – Pasta – Noodles & Rice – Couscous, beans & lentils – Chicken – Beef – Lamb – Pork – Fish & seafood – Vegetables – Fruit and of course Chocolate!  Each chapter also has a variety of tips and tricks to help you with your cooking.  One of my favourites is:-

“When freezing a loaf of bread, pre-slice it and pop sheets of baking paper between every second slice for easy use” – Donna Hay 

 I incorporated a few of her new recipes into my meal plan, they were all very quick and easy to put together.  My favourite is the Banoffee Pie which the kids made for me (cheating using a store purchased pastry case).
