I GET TO SEE HUNGRY GIRL TOMORROW NIGHT- LIVE!!!
I won a Facebook contest for a free ticket to Girl's Night In, a charity event to raise money for women's heart health. This isn't just a book signing, Ladies, this is an EVENT. She bought two tables (at $1250 each!) and gave tickets to select Facebook fans. I don't know if I will get to meet her, but I hope I get the chance to thank her for how much I've learned from her books this past year.
When I set out on the 50n50 journey, Hungry Girl was one of the books I bought to jump start my new lifestyle. I loved the idea of making the usual suspects into healthy dishes, you know? In fact, Thanksgiving 2009 was pretty much ALL from the Hungry Girl book!
I get her emails each day and just love her fun style of celebrating food (and butternut squash!).She now has a television show that airs on teh Cooking Channel each Saturday, but I haven't gotten to watch because I don't have cable. My mom reports that it's a great show, however - and I have no doubt that's the case.
I have evolved from religiously using the recipes in Ms. Lillien's books because so many of the recipes take a lot of work to recreate bad foods in a good way (and a lot of processed products that I rarely buy). Still, I fall back to them when I just want "normal." I absolutely love her Kickin' Chicken Pot Pie recipe and Wayne's Pumpkin Smash, as we know. Her Egg Nog recipe was pretty satisfying this past holiday season too (No eggs? For real?!?)!
I am so excited I can hardly wait. I mean hello, it's not everyday you get to meet someone who was on Good Morning America (this morning!), is it?
I was hoping you would win one of those tickets :) Have fun!
