Happy Monday! I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Mine was great, aside from having the stomach virus starting in the wee hours of Sunday morning. It's still got me down and out, but things are looking better! Hence, no Menu Monday today. The last thing I wanted to do yesterday was think about food or plan a menu! But, I couldn't leave you guys hanging....
I just reached 400 followers this weekend, so that means it's time for a giveaway! I have done my own giveaways at the 200 and 300 mark, and it's just so much fun. I couldn't wait to do another one! So here's what's up for grabs:

I've been searching for a new cookbook and this one looks like it may be just perfect! I love Cooking Light recipes!
I follow you :)
I cook once a week, twice if I'm lucky. I want to cook more, though! That's one of my New Year's resolutions, and so far, 2012 has been a good year for cooking! Let's see if I can keep it up!
Ah this book sounds great! I cook at least 3 nights during the week, the other nights are for leftovers, plus once on the weekend! Would love to add this cookbook to my collection. :)
I try and cook three time a week and eat the leftovers the other days.
I usually cook 3-4 times a week. Most of my recipes have about four servings, so it's easy to rely on leftovers the other nights!
I cook 5 nights a week and leave the weekends for going out to eat!
I try to cook Sunday-Thursday and then just bake on the weekends. My husband and I like totally different foods, so maybe a cooking magazine will help us out. :)
I try to cook at least once a week. As a singelton with a full-time job and grad school, PB&J are about as good as it gets...
This is an awesome giveaway and would LOVE to win! :) I usually cook5 out of the seven nights. Friday and Saturdays are usually are eat out/grab something quick nights.
I try to cook every week night .... doesn't always happen but the effort is there!
Every night--maybe one off! e
Once or twice a week. When I have the time I really love to do it - wish I had the time to do it more.
Ohh I've been looking at getting a subscription- so this cookbook would be awesome! I cook Sunday-Thursday at home, then we eat out Friday & Saturday!
I am a couple times a week cooker, but I love coming to your blog to get recipes and wine recs when I do decide to cook!
I am a weekend cooker, and live off the leftovers for the rest of the week since I am still in grad school. I have used several of your recipes and love them! This cookbook looks great!
I absolutely LOVE cookinglight! It has educated me on so many healthy eating and living topics and has transformed the way I cook. I cook everyday and cookinglight is definitely my main source of inspiration!
Thanks for doing the giveaway!
I try for about 3 nights a week. Love your recipes!!
i cook a few times a week
Congrats on 400! I would love to be an everynight cook but usually I only cook on the weekends. Great giveaway!
Hi Kendall! I usually cool 5-6 days out of the week :)
Sorry, I meant COOK!
Congrats on 400, Kendall! I would love to cook every night, but only cook once or twice a week!

I love to cook but because I work full time, and my husband's a stay-at-home-dad, we split cooking turns evenly. I do most of the cooking on the weekends but would love to get back in the game during our busy week!
I am lucky..my mom and dad live in our pool house, so I cook 2 days and she cooks 2 days during the week. Fridays, we eat out. Weekends vary, depending on whether our kids are home or at their friends' houses. Love your blog, by the way. Congrats on #400!!
I cook two or three times a week and then we eat leftovers the other nights. I would love this cookbook!
Oh Oh, pick me, pick me!! I cook atleast 3 days a week but would love to cook alot more!! Happy 400!! :)
I try to be an every night cook, but we get lazy some days. So I'd say like 4 nights out of the week or more :)
thanks for the giveaway, kendall! congrats on 400 followers!
i try to cook 4-5 nights a week. i've found that eating-in is a huge help when trying to eat healthy, too! yay for 2012 resolutions!
I generally cook every night, unless it's somebody's birthday and then we will go out for dinner. Your blog is one of my favorites for finding delicious recipes. Thanks!
I try to cook at least 4 nights a week. It doesn't always work out but my Cooking Light subscription does help to inspire me! By the way, good job for representing the Arkansas folks! (I'm from Little Rock)
You are such an inspiration to everyone that reads your blog!!
I cook five times a week, and the other two days are either left overs or a night out.
Congratulations Kendall!!
I try to cook meals for the rest of the week and lunches all on one night of the week (usually on Mondays). I'm a marathoner! And then I like to cook every meal on the weekends (breakfast being my FAV to cook)!!!
Sounds like a great giveaway! Yay for reaching 400. :)
Before the baby I was a cook (almost) every night kind of woman. We'd go out to dinner once a week and maybe get something from a take out place but I did most of the cooking. Since the baby has been born I've only "cooked" once, which consisted of boiling pasta and heat pasta sauce.
I'd love to win! My hubby is in dental school too and we have 2 kiddos. I try to cook at home way more than I used to because of the new budget, but sometimes life just gets in the way. ha! I successfully cook at home 2-4x a week and then we try to eat the leftovers. I need easy, tasty, healthy, and quick meals which can be hard to pull off sometimes. :)

Love Cooking Light! I like to cook 3 to 4 times a week but now that I am pregnant, I have not been cooking much because the smells bother me! Hopefully have will change soon. Congrats on 400 followers!
Congrats on all the followers!! :)
I cook when I can, which is a few times a week. I love to try new recipes, especially some of those you post!
LOVE your blog Kendall! Unfortunately I just moved into a place in Kansas City with a tiiiiiiiny kitchen, I'm talking convection over style, so cooking has gone to the way side. I would love to start trying new recipes that are a little simpler (for my simple kitchen) and also healthy. Cooking light would be wonderful!
I plan to cook 4 meals per week. I have loved everything I tried from your blog!
I wish I could cook every night! :( But when I do I love to try new recipes! Love your blog Kendall!
I usually cook during the week, but not weekends! Love to look at cook books and try new recipes!
I would love this book! I usually cook 2-3 times a week....Love cooking & love going out & trying new restaurants, too! :o) Thanks for offering the giveaway, & I hope you feel much better soon!
i cook every day but also eating out
i live alone and need to eat healty for my
heart,since i had heart surgery 6 years ago
saw your posting on my daughters blod
she keeping as one of her fav's
I used to cook all the time....but life has become busier and so cooking less. I LOVE to cook though so I can't wait until I have more time for it!
I am the 3-4 night a week cook. The weekdays consist of quick meals, but the last few weekends, I have cooked recipes that I have pinned on Pinterest!
I work full time and I have a 3 year old, so dinner has to be fast and easy! I usually cook about 4 times a week, leftovers 1 night, and then we eat out 2 nights.
I am a stay-at-home mom so most weeks I cook Sunday through Thursday. We usually eat out with friends over the weekend, which is a nice break.
I cook maybe once a week! I'm trying to cook more and more healthy so new recipe ideas would be awesome! Thanks!
I cook once or twice a week, but wish I could more! Thanks!! Camille Cook
I try to cook three nights a week, but with my husband and I both being teachers and involved in bible studies Tuesday nights and Wednesday nights, there aren't many nights to get together a cook.
I like cooking. But right now, with a new baby, it only happens a couple times each week.
I cook 6 nights a week - working full time and 4 daughters who all participate in soccer, lacrosse, basketball and ccd -it's not easy but really enjoy it! Love the New Blog Design!
I cook pretty much every night of the week. Exceptions being when there are too many leftovers or if there's an event that requires us to be away from home during the dinner hour.
I cook Monday through Thursday and use the weekends to look for new recipes for the coming week.
I usually cook 3 or 4 nights a week and use the other nights for leftovers or easy things to fix like cereal :)
I cook about 3-4 times a week. I love your blog!
