My First Giveaway and What’s For Dinner?!

You know how I’ve told you how much I love my favorite things party?  And you know how I’ve told you that I REALLY dislike having to think about what to cook for dinner?   Well, I’ve decided to do a new thing on my blog–a series called What’s For Dinner.  The way it will work is this:  Every Saturday, I will post an entry called What’s For Dinner? .  You will then have a week to post a comment on that entry giving me a suggestion as to what to cook for dinner.  That next Friday night, I will have my husband read off the suggestions and I will choose at least one to cook during the upcoming week.  Then on Saturday, I will post which meal(s) I chose and I will ask you again What’s For Dinner for the next week, etc.  Now–each of the names of those whose suggested meals I choose will be put into a monthly drawing for one of my favorite things!  (I will tell you beforehand which of my favorite things it will be) Then, on the night of My Favorite Things Party in December, I will randomly draw one final entry from all of the dinner suggestions submitted throughout the year, and the winner will receive one of Brian’s storage or entry shelves–valued at 229! (You can see Pottery Barn’s here )  So even if you suggest that I make Tofu and olives for dinner, and I do not choose it (and I surely won’t)  you will still get a chance at the shelf.  However, if I do make the meal you suggest, you will get double entries in the December giveaway.  Get it?  What do you think?  

The winner will choose this shelf in white or black and have a couple hook options.

So…..What’s For Dinner?  Oh, and don’t forget to tell me how to make it–this at least triples your chances of my choosing it 🙂 (The winner of this month’s drawing will receive a combo pack of 3M picture hanging strips that I mentioned here.  The winner will be drawn on Saturday, January 28th.  

P.S.  I prefer meals that are fairly well balanced and nutritious–whole grains, fresh veggies, etc., but don’t get too crazy.  I’d probably feel overwhelmed by anything too extreme.  And as you may have guessed, I’m not super big on tofu or olives. 🙂  Thanks in advance for your help with dinner!!
