Hi friends,
THIS GIVEAWAY is NOW CLOSED! Stay turned for our next one in September!
The Dinner Plan offers cooking inspiration and advice that makes the dinnertime juggle easier. Every week, I talk to cookbook authors on the podcast (you’re following over there, right?) about what they actually eat at home and how they make getting dinner on the table night after night feel less overwhelming.
Here on the newsletter, you get weekly recipes from their brand-new cookbooks, plus cookbook recommendations and so much cooking strategy, like tips for saving money on groceries and for boosting flavor in quick and easy dinners.
A couple of times a year, though, I get to actually send new cookbooks and pantry favorites and kitchen tools to a few of you, as a thank you for subscribing and supporting the show.
This time around, we’re leaning into summer: cooking outdoors, piling up scoops of ice cream, and relaxing with a good cookbook in hand.
Below, you’ll find The Dinner Plan’s SEVEN summer giveaways for subscribers.
To enter, you’re going to need to choose your favorites set of prizes, so read carefully.
This email is probably too long for your inbox; you may need to hit “view entire message” or the “keep reading online” button to see the details of all seven giveaways and learn how to enter. Thanks to all the sponsors and friends of the show who are helping to make this happen.
I’ve included discount codes and affiliate links below for easy shopping. Making a purchase through these links means The Dinner Plan may (or may not!) receive a small commission. Discount code terms vary; most are for one purchase, first-time customers only. International friends, I’m sorry to say that a US address is required for prize shipment.
I never really reached for flavored olive oils until I tried a sample of these exceptional tins from McEvoy Ranch in California, and now I use them on everything.
