Cookbook giveaway!

I am always looking for new and healthy plant-based recipes.  One day I was watching 3ABN (satellite channel) and I stumbled across a cooking show that was featuring two ladies that have an amazing cookbook.  I'm usually leery about cookbooks because I've had much non-success with them.  I have multiple food allergies and usually recipes end up with me changing so many things that it's more of a hassle than anything.  
When we first changed to a plant based diet, I was beyond happy to see that everything is dairy free (one of my allergies) and many things are either gluten free or can be made gluten free very easily.  So when I first heard about the cookbook "Give Them Something Better", I was excited to check out their website.  
I have been a subscriber to Give Them Something Better for a few months and have tried some of the recipes on there.  One of our favorites is butterscotch pie - refined sugar free (sweetened with dates) and delicious!  
Right now, there's a giveaway going on over at Your World: Healthy and Natural.  I read the review of the cookbook and was amused to find out that she has the same problems I do with recipes!  Always changing things to suit our needs.  But it was so encouraging to know that she didn't have to change a single thing in the Give Them Something Better cookbook.  Also, it's great to hear that non-vegetarians are loving the plant-based recipes because quite often, it's a hard sell to get "carnivores" to appreciate "herbivore" foods :)
Check out the link and enter the contest.  There's also lots of ways to get additional votes so it's easy to get a few extra chances in there.  
The contest closes on February 6th at 11:59 p.m. EST at which time a random draw will take place.  And even if you don't win, I encourage you to get yourself a copy of the cookbook.  It's a great way to incorporate healthy and delicious food into your family's diet.  You won't be sorry that you did!
