Today's giveaway is a product I mentioned back in December, The
One-Armed Cook. Here's what I wrote about it then when
I first got a copy in the middle of my morning sickness:
For all you new mommies, mommies-to-be, and in-the-throes-of-morning-sickness-mommies, (I guess I would fit all three of those categories!), I just have to elaborate more on the great new cookbook I mentioned above - The One-Armed Cook: A Kitchen Survival Guide for New Parents. In my current state, I lapped this thing up; it was just what I needed. Two moms who have "been there, done that" tell you how you can do it, too! (July 31, 2007)

Commercial Appeal (Tennessee)
Streamlining without sacrificing By Jennifer Biggs
Cynthia Stevens Graubart was a television producer accustomed to eating in
fine restaurants and cooking leisurely meals with her husband. Then her son
was born, she decided to become a stay-at-home mom, and everything changed. "We'd
had this wonderful life of cooking and entertaining together, and then that
was gone. I sort of felt like there was this conspiracy, that nobody told
me how much everything was going to change," she said when she was in
town recently. She loved her role as a mother and a homemaker, of course,
but she did miss her gourmet meals. So she looked for a solution. (May 31,

"There I sat in the middle of the kitchen floor at 6 p.m. still in my
bathrobe, sobbing, cradling my 3-week-old son in my arms, wondering if he was
ever going to stop crying and if I was ever going to take a shower or cook
a meal again in this lifetime." So writes Cynthia Stevens Graubart in
the introduction to The One-Armed Cook, a cookbook
aimed at new parents. It's an anecdote that may cause flashes of chuckling
recognition in many parents who recall those first anxious weeks of parenthood. (August

Oh how I needed this book when I had an infant in arms. Instead, I ate a
lot of cereal straight out of the box with my one free hand for lunch. For
dinner, I passed the baby to Big Bad Dad while I cooked. This would make
a great present for a new mom, a new stay-at-home mom, or any mom who's on
the lookout to make her time in the kitchen easier. (Good reader reviews
