***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries***
If you’re a busy mom like me – wait, let me start over. If you’re like me and hate grocery shopping, then this week’s giveaway is totally up your aisle. I’ve learned to enjoy cooking, but the chore of making a list, bleeding money at the grocery store and then coming home to find you’ve forgotten the cardamom still drives us to take-out more than we’d like. So imagine my delight when You’ve Got Supper entered our lives.
YGS was started by two busy moms right here in Richmond (holla) and basically does your weekly recipe planning AND grocery list making for you (double holla). Just sign up for their free weekly email for five easy recipe suggestions. Pick the ones you want to make (or add others from their archive) and YGS automatically generates a complete, printable shopping list for you. Basically, my lifesaver. And this week they’re giving away $100 in groceries to one of our lucky readers who just might need some lifesaving in the kitchen too.
We’ve been using them for a while now, and just last week we made three of their meals that we never tried before: Honey Chicken Kebabs, One-Pot Pork Tenderloin and Crispy Potatoes and Creamy Dreamy Mac and Cheese. Here’s that mac and cheese making Burger wish he were human:
And now for this week’s giveaway deets:
- PRIZE: $100 gift card to the grocery store of your choice courtesy of You’ve Got Supper

I WANT SUPPER!! :) We have a recipe box at work that we can look at in our lunch area. We share and compare and copy or bring home the cards we want to try!

I WANT SUPPER! My favorite way to mix it up is to order in. ;)
amy says
I want supper! My husband never cookes, and he always wants the same old, same old. I’m ready to try something new and signed up at their website!
Travis says
I WANT SUPPER! On a normal basis we like to mix up supper on the weekdays by doing an ingredient search on my Epicurious iPhone app. I do the search while riding the bus home from work and then stop at the grocery store for any misc. items needed to complete the recipe.
On a not-so-regular basis my extended family (brothers and wives, sisters and parents) get together every two months or so and do an “Iron Chef” challenge based on a predetermined ingredient. We gather at one family member’s house with our dishes and then each one is served and judged. We then score each one based on taste, presentation, and originality. It’s extremely fun!
lisa g says
I WANT SUPPER!!! I usually take a couple of minutes to peruse the multitudes of recipes on the internet….last night it led me to chicken curry…yum
Lyndsey says
I want supper!
I mix it up by making a casserole/soup during the weekend and seperating out individual portions that I can take to work for lunch. Saves me time in the morning and saves me money by not eating out.
megan says
I WANT SUPPER!! I talk to my foodie friends for dinner ideas – they often have great ideas, but I am loving this service idea as I HATE making grocery lists!
Kelly Martin says
I WANT SUPPER
This post is making me hungry =(
I LOVE doing breakfast for dinner, if I had my way I’d have every meal in reverse each day. Bacon, Egg and Cheese on a bagel or english muffin sounds heavenly right now!
Meg Lyttle says
I WANT SUPPER!!! cooked for me, please and thanks. My husband is the cook in our family…but last night I made him a meal for his birthday….homemade mac and cheese, caesar salad and of course, cake! :)
I love trying new recipes, but love being cooked for even more!
Rose says
I want supper!
I like things easy – one pot meals, casseroles, etc.
It’s hard for me to get something new on the table every night though, since we’re vegetarians but bad at it. :)
Katy says
I want supper!
Our favorite way to mix things up is by typing in whatever we are in the mood for in google (like “chicken recipe”) and picking one recipe off the first page. Easy enough and we have found many new favorites.
Linda says
I Want Supper!!
I use my crockpot all the time, and since I live alone, I’ll cook a couple times in one week and have frozen leftovers for a month!
Gretchen K says
I wan supper!
My favorite way to mix things up for dinner is to try a new recipe from the internet – usually epicurious!
Ruth B says
I want supper!
We used to be boxed people…meaning…we only ate things that came out of box. I started getting Cooking Light and now we mix it up by only cooking recipes on there. We always try something new and we are loving it! This is a great idea for a giveaway and a great idea they had with their site!
Susan says
I WANT SUPPER! I’m definitely a fan of eating out — it eliminates cooking AND cleaning up! But I’m trying to be better about expanding my recipe repertoire to save some money.
Grace Boone says
I WANT SUPPER!
We mix it up by trying a new recipe every week, whether it’s a family recipe, one from a book or online. We also take some of our favorite recipes and try to spice them up in different ways.
Heather S says
I WANT SUPPER!!! I like to mix things up by ordering in!
Crystal says
“I WANT SUPPER”
I like to eat breakfast for supper. Sometimes you just want pancakes!
ash says
I WANT SUPPER!….I mix things up by trying new desserts like apple wontons with cool whip or sugar cookie fruit pizza.
Jessica says
I want SUPPER! Our favorite is throwing chicken & rice in the skillet with any/all spices on hand. Always a winner :)
Jen says
I want supper!
My husband and I enjoy doing “theme nights”- we make only appetizers or make pad thai or a mexican meal (fajitas with rice and beans)- keeps us from getting bored and allows us to explore different dishes & types of cooking we may not have tried.
I am also a big fan of hungrygirl.com- it has great healthy substitutions.. some of which I’ve been able to make without my husband ever being the wiser! :)
Meghan says
I Want Supper!
Joining a CSA a few years ago was a huge help in lifting us out of the recipe rut. (Well what ARE we gonna do with all this arugula and swiss chard?)
We were also vegetarians for a few years, and a subscription to Veggie Times helped inspire some new creations. Even now that we’re back to being omnivorous, we still refer to those back issues a lot.
Jenn says
I WANT SUPPER! Soup is what we have when we need a break from normal dinner food, wee just had a great corn chowder!
Erin Parker says
I WANT SUPPER and my favorite way to shake things up is offer to cook, and all the guests bring the wine :)
Stephanie says
I want supper!
We try to use different types of dressings/marinades to keep things different.
Kathleen M. says
“I WANT SUPPER”… my boyfriend does all the cooking – a rule he had to agree to before we moved in together :)
Jennifer says
We like to mix it up. I try to find at least one new recipe a week to cook for the fam. I also like to “try” to re-create recipes we’vehad at restaurants. Our favorites so far are teryaki salmon with wasabi drizzled over it and the “yummy scramble” with eggs, avocado, onion, red bell pepper, tomatoes, and cheese. Delish!!
Mandi says
I want supper!
I like to grab a cookbook, pick something without a lot of pondering, and just go for it, its successful more than not.
Raye Marie says
I WANT SUPPER!…to make itself! I mix it up by watching Top Chef and pulling inspiration from ingredients and methods I might not have otherwise been familiar with.
Nikki B says
I WANT SUPPER!
I love taking classic recipes and turning them healthy/vegetarian if possible. Tacos made with GardenBurgers? YUM. Vegan molten chocolate lava cakes? Heck yes.
(I’m not a vegetarian/vegan, but I try sometimes. I like chicken and cheese too much! :)
Jenni says
I want supper!
I admit, I do love breakfast for dinner!
Jennifer R. says
I WANT SUPPER. When I need a mix-up, or just a quick and easy meal, I go the breakfast route. I am never up in time to eat more than a granola bar during the week, and rarely make a real breakfast on the weekends; so if I want something different I’ll take any veggies in the fridge, slice up some potatoes, mix in some eggs and have breakfast burritos for dinner.
Scott says
I WANT SUPPER!
Jennifer says
I WANT SUPPER!!!!!!
Sasha says
I Want Supper!
I like to make grilled cheese with a fried egg and then dip it in Ketchup on the nights when I’m too tired to cook something more “sophisticated”. There is very little clean-up, just a frying pan and the plate.
Courtney says
I WANT SUPPER! I like to go “Google Recipes” when I am in a rut – Pick 2-4 items out of my fridge or cabinets, toss them into Google and end it with “recipe” – then hit “Search” and Google tells me what I can make with those ingredients! Love it!
Emily A says
I WANT SUPPER!!!
I love to try out new recipes that I find online
Ahran says
I WANT SUPPER!!
I love allrecipes.com. Also, it’s never a bad night when my husband does the cooking!
Paul says
I WANT SUPPER!! Top Chef is great for ideas.
Savvy and Sweet Blog says
I WANT SUPPER!
My husband and I just moved into our first home (yeah!) and can’t wait to make use of our nice big kitchen! We weren’t really able to do much “mixing up” in our apartment because the kitchen was so tiny, but we’re ready to bring it on now!!
Emily J. says
I WANT SUPPER!
Rich says
I Want Supper
I like it when someone else cooks. Anyone but me…
Kristin says
I WANT SUPPER!!!! Awesome website! I can’t wait to start using it.
Judy b says
I WANT SUPPER…
I recently signed up for YGS, and it seems to be pretty good so far- I really like the idea of a grocery list! We just go out to eat to switch it up, but our wallet doesn’t like that plan too often.
Michael says
I WANT SUPPER
I consider it “mixing things up” if I actually cook a real meal for dinner.
David Amann says
I WANT SUPPER! We always fall to the old standby of pancakes, bacon and eggs for dinner when there’s nothing else to cook :) gotta love it!
Sam says
I WANT SUPPER!! I used to be good at meal planning, but I’ve slacked big time. My answer to switching it up is calling Grandma and inviting ourselves over.
Bridget says
I WANT SUPPER! I love to visit http://www.thepioneerwoman.com and check out her cooking tab or Tasty Kitchen and see whats new…there’s always something delicous and new to try!
Tracy says
I WANT SUPPER! Right now I’m trying to get out of my rut by looking for new recipes and watching a lot of Food Network. I especially like to look up the Food Network recipes on their website, since you can read comments and find out what doesn’t work and what tweaks people have made.
