Pioneer Woman Cooks Giveaway!

There she is....the Pioneer Woman. I've never hidden my love for Ree or her site in the past, so when she let her readers know that she was releasing a cookbook, I jumped for joy.  Since I am a foodie, and since I'm still a somewhat new wife and mother, I am constantly looking for cookbooks that fit my personality to fill up my collection. Ree definitely didn't disappoint.  She gives us some of our all time favorites, like the best chocolate cake ever and her wonderful cinnamon rolls, while providing some new recipes, like creamy rosemary potatoes, cheese grits, and her version of fried chicken. I've been WAITING for that chicken recipe. I think Ree needs to have me to the Ranch so I can show her how east coast southerners make fried chicken. I don't want her to feel deprived lol.

Anywhoo, to celebrate the release of this wonderful cookbook, I'm going to give away a copy of The Pioneer Woman Cooks to one of you lucky readers.   

How to Enter: Just leave a comment under this post. Say hi, aloha, whatever. Tell me what your favorite PW recipe is or how excited you would be to win. Whatever you want. But this is the most important part: IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A GOOGLE OR BLOGGER ACCOUNT, PLEASE LEAVE YOUR (JUNK) E-MAIL ADDRESS! How can I contact you when you win if I don't have an e-mail address?

This contest will end on Sunday, November 22nd, at 11:59pm. And just to make this even more fun, you can enter once a day! So, come back and visit me everyday, see what new posts I have up, and then enter yourself again under this post.

Who knows? If I get enough entries, I may be inclined to pick 2 winners and cough up dough for another cookbook. Sounds like something I would do.

This contest has been bought to you by me and my amazon gift cards I got from swagbucks. If you haven't signed up for swagbucks yet, what are ya waiting for? Christmas is just around the corner and you can get free gift cards or certificates.  If you would like more information on it, click here.

Thanks to all for entering and good luck!

The Start of Holiday Giveaways!

Well, a few weeks ago, I had you all tell me what you wanted for the upcoming holidays. Little did I realize that you all wouldn't be selfish like I wanted you to do and ask for things that you actually wanted FOR YOU and no one else. Go figure. The reason behind the question was to figure out what the heck I should give away this holiday season to all of you lovely people! So, that experiment failed but I do love all the "end the war, bring world peace" answers. If only it were that easy....


So, starting tomorrow I'm gonna have our first giveaway. No, I can't bring anyone back home from the war and no, I can't take care of all of your medical problems, but I hope I can at least make your day with a few great giveaways. 

Stay tuned.....
