If there's one thing I have a soft spot for, it's cookbooks.  While at the library book sale or at yard sales, I can't help but buy them - even if they aren't something I would normally cook.  What's funny about it is that I seldom reference them and I'm not that good of a cook.  As I explained in August when I reviewed Country Bob's Sauce, I'm a lazy cook.
Well, the folks at Country Bob's must have read my post about how I don't experiment with recipes very often.  They kindly shipped off one of their new cookbooks for me to check out. 

It has been my experience that cookbooks put out by food manufacturers mostly contain simple recipes that have their products as a focal point.  But the Country Bob's cookbook isn't like that.  It has unique recipes like "Olivia's Egg Drop Soup" "Country Bob's Venison Mexican Pizza" and "Poor Man's Fillet" which do contain Country Bob's products.  But it also has recipes that do not include any of their products.  They opted to add desserts (that don't contain their products) to ensure that their cookbook was well rounded.  Smart move - no cookbook is complete without desserts!

Here's the best part.  You can get one too!  Thanks to Country Bob's for offering not one, but two gift packages for this giveaway!
