The Macaroni and Cheese with Cauliflower! It is rainy and yucky here and some comfort food would be soooo good.

The turkey and roasted red Pepper meat loaf you made looked like a delicious Real Simple recipe!
adriana — November 10, 2009 @ 2:59 pm
Sausage, Spinach, and Provolone Pizza since pizza is my favorite food!
MoodyFoody — November 10, 2009 @ 3:00 pm

Lindsey @ Eat, Read, Run — November 10, 2009 @ 3:02 pm
Chili for a Crowd looks delicious! When you mentioned it in your Oct. 11th post I wrote down the recipe and am now waiting for “a crowd” to make it for. If I don’t have a “real” crowd soon, I may just have to make it for me!
Julie @ Peanut Butter Fingers — November 10, 2009 @ 3:02 pm
ooooh creamy rice w/ roasted shrimp!!! YUMMMMM. i love anything w/ shrimpies in it!
Meg — November 10, 2009 @ 3:03 pm
Either the mac & cheese with cauliflower or the creamy rice and roasted shrimp!
Allison — November 10, 2009 @ 3:04 pm
I can’t wait to make the chili for a crowd. I like the idea of using beer for added flavor. There’s nothing better on a cold winter night than chili and cornbread!
Meg C. — November 10, 2009 @ 3:05 pm
definitely mac n cheese with cauliflower – a great idea i’d love to try!
Katie B. — November 10, 2009 @ 3:05 pm

Macaroni and Cheese with Cauliflower. I remembered reading a post from you about this recipe. Looked it up last week, and made it. So good!
Lindsay Perrone (goodiesgalore) — November 10, 2009 @ 3:06 pm
I’ll always remember the Tuna and Chickpea Salad With Pesto you made. Ahh, tuna creeps me out but the bf LOVES pesto so we gave it a whirl!
Sarah — November 10, 2009 @ 3:06 pm
Sweet potato risotto! I still need to make that
Thanks.
Sarah R — November 10, 2009 @ 3:06 pm
I’ve had my eye on the sweet potato risotto since you made it! If I could just get my husband to try it
Dori — November 10, 2009 @ 3:07 pm
Sweet potato risotto! I have been wanting to make that ever since you posted it!
Jen — November 10, 2009 @ 3:07 pm
Those garlicy pinto beans are AWESOME! Maybe not for date night though
Alex — November 10, 2009 @ 3:07 pm
I’ve made the creamy rice and shrimp dish that you made the other weekend from Real Simple – Loved it! They have really great/easy recipes but I dont always pick up the magazine so it would be awesome to have all the recipes in one place- this book looks great!
Bre — November 10, 2009 @ 3:08 pm
I have made so many of the RS recipes you have put on here, they are all amazing..but I would say the best so far have been the Chili and the Last- Minute Lasagna! The Chili has been such a hit at numerous football parties and the lasagna has saved me so much time when I’ve needed to make dinner for a group on the fly
Sam — November 10, 2009 @ 3:08 pm
chili! nothing better than a sunday spent with football and a delicious, quick chili.
Stephanie — November 10, 2009 @ 3:09 pm

The Mediterranean Salad with Chickpea Patties looks so terrific. It is on the menu for later in the week!
Kristen — November 10, 2009 @ 3:10 pm
Real Simple is the best. You had me drooling over the Sausage, Spinach & Provolone Pizza, even if it had to be enjoyed on the run!
Tina — November 10, 2009 @ 3:11 pm
Re: Sweet Potato Risotto: It’s a pretty awesome dish!!!
Jodi — November 10, 2009 @ 3:11 pm

I loved that tuna, chickpea and pesto salad you made in September…it could have been the reminder to make pita chips though!
Shana — November 10, 2009 @ 3:15 pm
The mac and cheese with cauliflower looked amazing. I have a mac and cheese addiction when I’ve had a bad day and am always on the look out for a healthier version!
The Duo Dishes — November 10, 2009 @ 3:15 pm
Sweet tater risotto. Looove sweet potatoes!
Elizabeth — November 10, 2009 @ 3:15 pm
I really like Real Simple’s Chili for Crowd (maybe better known as Mal’s chili), I’ve made it a few times without the meat. Beyond good. All of their recipes are incredible. Thanks for the chance to win the new cookbook. Hope all’s well!

This is an easy one….I have several of the recipes you’ve tried starred on my google reader… Creamy rice & Shrimp and the Tuna and Chickpea Salad with Pesto were the first two I found!
Kelly Bruneman — November 10, 2009 @ 3:18 pm
The chickpea salad with pesto is a winner! My all time favorite Real Simple recipe is their Rosemary Chicken with Zucchini. I know it is on their website…you HAVE to try it, Tina. You would LOVE it!
Sarah — November 10, 2009 @ 3:18 pm
I loved the chili for a crowd recipe! I made it on Halloween, and it was great for the fall weather!
Karen — November 10, 2009 @ 3:18 pm
I don’t even have to look…when you talked about Real Simple’s Last Minute Lasagna I HAD to try it…And now it’s become a staple.
A bonus one (that I also don’t even have to look up since once you mentioned it I had to make it and love it)…the garlicy pinto beans. Yum yum!!
Christina — November 10, 2009 @ 3:19 pm
Creamy Rice with Roasted Shrimp for sure!!
Jen — November 10, 2009 @ 3:19 pm
Chili for a crowd! So appropriate for this time of year!
kim — November 10, 2009 @ 3:19 pm
I love sweet potatoes – especially the ones from my cousin’s farm in AL which I have right now. Perfect by themselves, but since I also love Risotto – what a great fall combination!
Freckles — November 10, 2009 @ 3:19 pm
Tuna and chickpea salad w/ pesto looks so good!! Homemade pita chips looks YUMMY too! It probably is WAY economic than buying a bag of Stacey’s chips

I liked the Real Simple recipe – ‘Chili for A Crowd’ that you featured earlier this year that Mal likes to make
Leah — November 10, 2009 @ 3:20 pm
Well my favorite Real Simple recipe would have to be the Macaroni and Cheese with Cauliflower. I can’t believe how amazing and EASY this recipe is – I haven’t made it in a while, so that might have to change!
Steph — November 10, 2009 @ 3:21 pm

Nick — November 10, 2009 @ 3:28 pm
I’ve been missing for a while but this seems the perfect time to return! I would say the sausage, spinach and provolone pizza looks the best to me since I just made and posted a prosciutto, spinach and ricotta pizza that was out of this world. Provolone sounds delicious…

Lisa — November 10, 2009 @ 3:35 pm

If not for you I would never have tried the cauliflower mac and cheese, and it’s now become a staple in our house. Thanks!
Niki — November 10, 2009 @ 3:36 pm
Last min lasagna!!! I love lasagna but not the hour plus it takes to prep it with all the mixing, cheese prep, boiling the noodles then cooking it. I would love a new recipe book.
DebinHawaii — November 10, 2009 @ 3:36 pm
I think the Creamy Rice with Poasted Shrimp looked amazing–love creamy + roasty flavors and roasting tomatoes makes them just perfect.
Rae — November 10, 2009 @ 3:36 pm

Jeannie — November 10, 2009 @ 3:37 pm

Allison — November 10, 2009 @ 3:41 pm
I made the last minute lasagna and it was delish!!
MegaNerd — November 10, 2009 @ 3:41 pm
I specifically remember wanting to try that shells, cheese, and macaroni casserole that you made. I forget the name of it but it looked amazing! Casseroles are great to make ahead of time so that you can “heat and eat” a quick healthy meal.
However, I think any recipe that includes “real” food and is “simple” to make sounds perfect. School gets stressful, and I don’t have tons of time to plan elaborate meals. It would be so nice to have a book full of amazing, easy, and healthy recipes!
Thanks for the amazing giveaway!
Anna — November 10, 2009 @ 3:42 pm
I would definitely go with the sweet potato risotto…it sounds delicious and so autumn-ish
Molly — November 10, 2009 @ 3:42 pm

The Macaroni and Cheese with Cauliflower looks like the perfect comfort food I’m craving right now (http://carrotsncake.com/2009/02/macaroni-and-cheese-with-cauliflower.html). I’d probably try putting in broccoli instead of cauliflower to change things up a bit
Casie — November 10, 2009 @ 3:54 pm
Sweet potato risotto! I made it not to long ago, it was awesome!

I like that tuna with chickpeas one as we’re always trying to pack more protein into our meals and legumes are a great way to go! I recently made Real Simple’s potato and apple gratin for a family event and it was a HIT!! It was also really quick and easy and could be easily tweaked to cut down on fat and calories. YUM!!
Missy — November 10, 2009 @ 4:10 pm

Just made the creamy rice with shrimp and grape tomatos a few days ago except I upped the health factor even more by substituting brown rice for the white stuff. SO GOOD, so flavorful, so healthy, and so simple. It doesn’t really get much better than that.

Stephanie — November 10, 2009 @ 5:49 pm
The cauliflower mac n’ cheese looks delicious! You can fill up on it and not feel tooooo guilty because you are getting some veggies in as well. Plus who doesn’t love comfort food that’s “good” for you!
Joelle (The Pancake Girl) — November 10, 2009 @ 5:50 pm
Sweet potato risotto for sure- sounds so amazing! Real Simple is one of my favorite magazines, too!

I loved the pizza you made the other night with the spinach sausage and provolone. I thought it was cool how you just put the slices right on the pizza, I had never thought about it- I’ve always used shredded.

DEFINITELY the mac n cheese!
Haha I definitely think I should get an extra point for this story:
So when I was applying to colleges, Yale was one of the schools I was considering. When I visited, I had an interview with one of the admissions staff. One of the questions they asked me was “If you could have lunch with anyone in the world – from the past, present, dead or alive – who would it be, and why?” You wanna know what I said? Martha Stewart. To the effing admissions deciders at Yale University! Haha I won’t give you the whole novel, but I had quite excellent reasons for choosing her if I do say so myself. Martha’s my girl.
Susan — November 10, 2009 @ 7:09 pm

Wendy — November 10, 2009 @ 7:42 pm
I have to go with Mal’s chilli by real simple, because it is just too cute that this is his specialty to make for friends.
ari — November 10, 2009 @ 7:42 pm
i wanted to try either the sweet potato risotto or the tuna and chickpeas with pesto. i’m vegetarian so i would most likely end up trying the sweet potato risotto, or i could just leave the tuna out

Elise — November 10, 2009 @ 7:50 pm
The way I found your blog was by googling a Real Simple recipe I’d read in a waiting room (I’ve since ordered a subscription!) and it led me to Carrots ‘n Cake! Chickpea Patties – they are so tasty.
The Healthy Apple — November 10, 2009 @ 7:51 pm

Lauren — November 10, 2009 @ 8:40 pm
I agree, Real Simple has some of the best recipes! I just read their latest issue cover to cover today.
I am kicking myself but I remember a long time ago (sometime last year) you made a Real Simple recipe that looked soooo amazing and now I can’t remember or find exactly what it was. This is actually how I discovered your blog! I beleive it was something along the lines of pinto beans? Do you recall a main dish you made using these beans? I also remember you raving about it for days and now I will probably spend the next 15 min searching your archives to find this recipe because I just reminded myself of how badly I wanted to make it.
Thanks Tina!
JJ — November 10, 2009 @ 8:40 pm
I’ve been making more pizza lately so I may have to try the Sausage, Spinach, and Provolone pizza soon!

Alexa — November 10, 2009 @ 8:51 pm
Definitely the last minute lasagna!!!! That’s actually how I originally found your site – through a Google search for the last minute lasagna recipe. I love how quick/easy/inexpensive/yummy it is. I use reduced fat mozzarella and low fat ravioli to skip some calories, and I sometimes replace the spinach with kale for some extra nutrients and a little variety in the flavor!
mama — November 10, 2009 @ 8:55 pm
the cheesy baked shells sound just divine!!

Whitney — November 10, 2009 @ 10:14 pm
I know this may sound weird but I LOVE LOVE LOVE beans. For some reason I enjoy the texture, taste, and satiety you recieve from eating beans
not to mention their fiber value. So the garlicky pinto bean recipe from real simple (and really easy to make) stood out as a winner and can go with almost anything.
Laura in Pgh — November 10, 2009 @ 10:20 pm

Just last week you made a sausage, spinach, provolone pizza that sounded excellent! I had never checked out any Real Simple recipes until you talked about them. Definitely some keepers!
Lele — November 10, 2009 @ 11:46 pm
I learned all my favorite Real Simple recipes from YOUR blog! I desperately want this cookbook! I think my favorite was the cauliflower mac and cheese.
Kerry — November 10, 2009 @ 11:54 pm
Easily the mac and cheese you made with the cauliflower. Although the pizza from the other night looked like a good combo.
Harry — November 10, 2009 @ 11:56 pm
The chili that Mal made foryou and your friends. Looked really good.
Tricia — November 10, 2009 @ 11:57 pm

Last Minute Lasagna! So incredibly simple!
Laura — November 11, 2009 @ 12:25 am
The tuna and chickpea salad with pesto you made awhile ago looked phenomenal. I just made a salmon and chickpea salad today, and I’m thinking the pesto would have been a great addition.
Felicia (Bites of the Apple) — November 11, 2009 @ 12:28 am
I saw this giveaway and got super excited! I love Real Simple. I thought that it’d take me awhile to find a recipe but remembered that I had saved the Chili for a Crowd recipe to make one day. It really looks awesome.

Spiceaholic — November 11, 2009 @ 8:28 am
I had a hard time deciding, so I’m picking both Tuna and Chickpea Salad with Pesto and the Sausage, Spinach, and Provolone Pizza. Real Simple really does have some great recipes.
CaSaundra — November 11, 2009 @ 8:36 am

I would love to make the sausage, spinach, and provolone pizza. My favorite food is pizza, and I am always trying to find new ways to make it.I work full time and have 2 small children so Real simple cookbook would be so helpful!
Christa — November 11, 2009 @ 10:26 am

The garlicky pinto beans from earlier in the year – I loved those!
