***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!! allrecipes.com is a great site; all you do is plug in one or more ingredients (you can also specify ingredients you don’t want) and it generates bunches of recipes for you to try. I also feel like a super hero when that “there’s no food in this house” situation drives me to some really creative use of seemingly random items! It’s usually pretty good, but not always easy to duplicate…
Claire says
I WANT SUPPER!
My husband and I like to try out new recipes for a dish we’ve never eaten found online or in a cookbook to mix things up on occasion.

double holla for the crockpot! you can cook almost anything in it (we even make meatloaf in there) and dinner’s ready when you get home.
Jenn R. says

We like to invite friends over for dinner in the middle of the week, instead of waiting for the weekend.
Brooklyne says
I WANT SUPPER!!
I will definately use this site, my fiance and I love to cook, but the grocery list is the downer! We mix dinner up all the time because we have dinners planned at the beginning of the week, but always mix and match entrees and sides. It’s interesting.. haha
Amy P. says

My favorite thing to change things up is to have breakfast for supper or have a recipe swap with friends.
Catherine M. says
I want supper!
My favorite thing to do is get a bunch of friends together for a potluck. It’s a fun way to have a feast without the host having to handle all the work (and cost!).
Sara says
I WANT SUPPER!
I am single and have a few single friends, so we often do potluck where someone brings the appetizer, the main dish, and the dessert so we all get a meal out of it without too many leftovers.
MelissaZ says
I WANT SUPPER!!
This sounds like an awesome website and I can’t wait to try it out.
To spice up our weekly meal plans, we’ve started designating certain days of the week for certain types of things. A couple of times a month we’ll have Taco Tuesdays or Pizza Thursday (with delicious homemade crust and new toppings) or Wok Wednesdays (OK, that’s a new one, and we don’t exactly have a wok, but we’re digging various stirfrys and figure the dish deserves it’s own day).
melanie says
I WANT SUPPER!
i make my menu out weekly of recipes i’ve dog-earred from magazines to constantly keep things new.
Sarah says
You’ve got supper!!
I’m a fan of casseroles and stews … They are usually easy to make andy you can make a LOT and have left overs. Maybe when my masters is done I will think differently and more creatively, but until then …
:)
Katie G says
I want supper!! (pretty please)
Finding recipes online is my new favorite activity, much to my boyfriend’s (and occasionally his whole family’s) delight. I could always use some more ideas, and the grocery money would certainly be appreciated.
Anna S. says
I WANT SUPPER! :o)
This is my first attempt at entering a contest on this site, although I’ve been a daily reader for months! My hubby and I enjoy ‘ethnic’ foods, so when ready for a change we try our hand at Indian cuisine, Italian, and our all time favorite ‘south of the border’ Latin-type foods. I have a few Mexican and Indian cookbooks, so that helps to locate ideas.
Vonda says
I WANT SUPPER!
My favorite is out to dinner w/friends or everyone bringing over an app and having a bunch of apps for dinner (with a bunch of wine of course)!!!
Natalie Smith says
I WANT SUPPER
I love going over to friend’s houses for dinner. We just went and I got a some great ideas for a new meal to try to make for my hubby! :)
Macy says

My fav thing to do is make an “everything” marinara sauce using up all the veggies and even meats that we have leftover in the fridge. I started doing this when i was a poor study abroad student in florence…I once threw in hot dogs and carrots and it tasted great. to me and my roommate at least!

Becky says
I WANT SUPPER!
My hubby is a great cook and is always coming up with new meals!
Leigh says
I WANT SUPPER! Mmmm – the best thing to shake things up a bit is to actually try new meals. I’ve been on a kick lately of really trying new recipes – it makes cooking AND eating more fun! I’m going to check out their website!
Jasmine H says
“I WANT SUPPER”
The way I usually mix things up for dinner is “create” a new dish from what’s in the fridge and cabinets. I’ve created a few that were a hit and the family asked for me to make again but I’also made a few that made them say “What the heck?!” LOL Anwyay, If all else fails, we order out! ;)
P.S. I too hate shopping so I often order online and have my groceries delivered (Peapod.com by Giant) but that too requires thinking about what to cook and making lists. So I think I just might have to give youvegotsupper.com a try.
Great Post, Thanks!

I WANT SUPPER!
We like to mix it up by having chicken wings and then an assortment of finger foods, like a great party– carrots, celery, potato wedges with lots of dipping sauces… not the most healthy but delicious!
Jamie Daisey says
I WANT SUPPER!
I’ve recently discovered that I love roasted vegetables with any meal (sometimes that IS the meal) – my favorites include cauliflower, broccoli, and sweet potatoes! I just put it chopped up in a roasting pan, put some olive oil and salt and pepper on top and roast in the 375 degree oven for 30-40 minutes – mmmm it’s delicious!
Silee says
I WANT SUPPER!
To mix it up for meals I try to make at least one new recipe each week.
Laura Dreier says
I Want Supper!!!
I love the swapping with friends idea!! I may talk to a few about this and see if we can’t do a ‘meal swap mondays’! Thanks for the great lead to ‘You’ve Got Supper’! I’ve already signed up and am looking forward to trying it!
JessG says
I WANT SUPPER!!
I am trying to plan weekly meals when I can – I always try to fit in one crockpot meal and one casserole that I can prepare the night before, which can just be tossed in the oven on a busy night when we don’t have time to cook when we get home from work.
Jessi K. says
I WANT SUPPER
My favortie thing for supper is quite simple. I live in Germany. In Germany we dont eat warm suppers, that has to do with the fact, that kids mostly come home for lunch after school, so suppers arent usually warm.
We normally have bread (not toast, healthy bread) and a salad and then some fruit. Simple but good. We have different kinds of cheese, salami, ham, honey or whatever so every night we can eat what we feel like having!! And we also have like 5 different salad dressings we make to spice things up ;)
Amanda L says
I WANT SUPPER!!
I do a lot of internet meal searches. I have food allergies, so I am constantly changing things up and swapping out items to make things I can eat. My hubby is a foodie, so I always have a challenge of giving him new eats. The internet is my friend there…especially with the cost of cookbooks. I would LOVE this cash to make up some more creative meals…or maybe to make a little flex in the budget for an exciting meal out to reall change it up!
Ellen says
I WANT SUPPER!!
We love full breakfast for dinner…
Sarah says
I WANT SUPPER – Covered dish dinners with friends. A great way to swap recipe’s too!
Ericka says
I WANT SUPPER! I like to try new recipes from allrecipes.com. I tend to look for the ones that get the highest reviews!
Shanee says
I WANT SUPPER!
I’m all for someone else cooking and cleaning but we normally will do a Brinner (breakfast for dinner) to change things up.
Rebecca says
I WANT SUPPER!
Thanks for the heads up for the site…I’m going over right now and checking into it!
Jennifer says
I WANT SUPPER!
When we need to mix things up, we choose a type of food (something a little exotic and new to us) and to a recipe search online. We’ve made sushi and miso soup, moraccan chicken and glazed carrots and couscous, Italian soups… It can be so fun! My go-to easy recipe is beef stew, my guy LOVES it!

Lesley says
I want supper!
We love being able to make the entire meal on the grill. Easy clean up!
Bella Brodsky says
I Want Supper!
I’m all about searching for recipes online; new cookbooks; the slow cooker when I know its going to be a long work day.
Tara says
I WANT SUPPER! We mix it up in a few ways: 1. I try to make one new recipe a week so we don’t get bored with the same meals. 2. We use the crockpot A LOT! Dinner is done when we get home- with no work involved. Plus, you can buy inexpensive cuts of meat and they still turn out great! 3. Sometimes, we’ll just make a bunch of snacks (Zesty Mini Meatballs, Spinach & artichoke dip, Bacon wrapped Little Smokies, etc and have our own little party!
McCaulie says
I WANT SUPPER!!
I can’t wait to check out this website – it sounds wonderful! As for switching it up – we too like to go over to our friends house and have them cook. My bestie makes a killer chicken dish!!
heather says
i want supper
my husband and i like to make ridiculous meals out of our leftovers that seem like a strange combination. whoever makes the more delicious meal wins, meaning you don’t have to do the dishes.
Carmen (Country Mouse) says
I want supper!
My husband never cooks so my standby is take n bake pizza on those days when I’m too frazzled to think of what to cook for dinner. I hadn’t known about You’veGotSupper.com until now. Thank you so much for sharing!
Bethany Mc says
I want supper! I’m in college but me and a friend eat with an eighty-something couple once a week. It’s win-win; they stay young and we get to hear cool stories!
Nichole says
I Want Supper!
Michelle says
I WANT SUPPER! Sad to say, my husband and I eat very quick, easy stuff most of the time. Luckily, it’s not hamburger helper! My favorite weeknight dinner is Trader Joe’s frozen burritos, nuked with green salsa and cheese on top. If we’re feeling ambitious, we hunt down actual white queso. I cook for real maybe twice a week.
Sarah says
I WANT SUPPER!!!
My fav thing is when we grill – well… my boyfriend grills – it makes for VERY LITTLE cleanup inside!

I WANT SUPPER!!! My favorite supper is bbq ribs in the crockpot. Super yummy and super easy!!!
Maura says
I WANT SUPPER! I love trying a new soup…there is really nothing that could be messed too badly. Plus, warm and filling without being too heavy.
