Do you ever have those days where you feel like the universe is conspiring against you? Getting today’s post ready was painful and it was not happening. So…change of plans.
If you’ve just joined us in the last few months, about 2 years ago, we wrote a book.
And people liked it! Like…it became a national bestseller! So we wrote another one…
And that one became a national bestseller. Which was awesome.
Some other awesome things about our books?
-There is a picture for every recipe.
-It has a spiral binding on the inside so you can lay it flat while you’re cooking, but the spine is printed with the title, so you can find it when you need to.
-It has this adorable bookmark with a conversion chart on it.
-Both books have a “rollover index” where you can look up recipes by ingredient. So if you buy a whole quart of buttermilk or a bunch of cilantro and you’re looking for a way to use them up, we’re your girls.
So since things were not going my way today, I’m having a bowl of ice cream and giving away 3 books to 3 lucky friends!
Here’s the deal:
-To enter, leave a comment on this post telling us your favorite season, holiday, or tradition.
-The giveaway runs from today, 3/6/13 until 3/13/13.
-We’ll pick 3 winners and notify them via the email address they use to enter the giveaway. Be sure to use an email address you check often and not the email address you use when you order something from Bath & Body Works because you know you’re going to get 10 advertisement emails a day.
-The winners will get to choose either Our Best Bites: Mormon Moms in the Kitchen or Savoring the Seasons with Our Best Bites.
–The winner must respond within 48 hours of when we send the notification email. If we don’t hear from you, we will select another winner.
-If you want to forgo the whole contest thing, you can purchase the books from Amazon, Deseret Book, Costco, Sam’s Club, Walmart, and many other bookstores. If you are unable to find it, any bookstore should be happy to order it for you.
Ready? Set? Go! I’m gonna go eat some ice cream and lick my sad corrupted memory card wounds…
Fall and Spring are by far my favorite seasons
We have pretty long winters, so I always look forward to new life, promise of renewal, rejuvenation, and vitamin D sunshine in the spring.
I love summer with all the fresh produce and grilling!
I love baking my grandmother Pitchforth’s sugar cookies for holidays.
I love the end of summer/beginning of fall because you can finally see the fruits of your labors with your garden.
I love all the seasons, but Fall and early Summer are my favorite. I love your website but have yet to own either of these cookbooks and would love to have one!
I love Christmas and being able to spend time with family.
Spring! I love the newness of the season with the fresh flowers, tree buds and Easter. Plus my two favorite girls were born in Spring! 🙂
I love every holiday as it comes. I always tell my husband, “Easter is my favorite!” and then Halloween comes, “Halloween is definitely my favorite!” and it happens every holiday. I love it all.
I love whatever season it is at the time. To enjoy each is a blessing.
Every 4th of July my extended family get together for a big picnic–complete with a waterslide and the inevitable waterfight. My mom always makes new peas and creamed potatoes. Yum!! I love your blog and cookbooks and I appreciate all you ladies do to make me look like an amazing cook.
It’s such a hard choice, but I love fall! I love the beauty of the changing leaves and the smells, but I love the switch to comfort food. It is full of wonderful memories!
Fall is my favorite – it’s still warm enough to eat outside and I love all of the fall things to bake with apples and pumpkins
Favorite Holiday is Christmas, of course! But I need new recipes in order to eat more calories. 🙂 I would love to win this cookbook.
We like making plates of Christmas treats that we deliver to our neighbors while caroling.
I love making plans for a garden when the weather starts to warm up and I know spring is coming.
Summer! I love to vacation and have BBQ’s with family and friends.
Spring and Fall!
St. Patrick’s day! We always do the traditional Irish dinner, plus it’s my son’s birthday so it’s twice the celebration.
My favorite season is fall. New start to school. Temperatures drop, leaves drop, the air smells crisp, baking and cooking yummy comforting things, looking forward to fall & winter holidays. Mmmm, it’s all good.
I love the cool, crisp days of autumn but my favorite food season is summer…I can eat my weight in fresh tomatoes!
Spring! I love the plants blooming after Winter is over.
my favorite season, by far, is the fall!
My favorite season is fall. I grew up on the East Coast where fall is so beautiful and smells amazing. Every fall I am filled with so many warm fuzzy memories!
I love spring! It’s so fun when all the plants come back to life.
My favorite tradition comes from my mom’s spanish heritage, so part of the love is the history and connection I feel to my ancestors, but most of the love is the fried bread we ALWAYS have for Christmas day breakfast. I love fried bread!
I do love all the seasons and the food that comes with them but, my favorite season/holiday/tradition all rolled into one is my Mom’s birthday! It is the day before St Patty’s day and she loves Corned Beef and Cabbage. So every year I make her a special dinner of Corned Beef and Cabbage (with plenty for leftovers) and I make her the McCall’s “Perfect Chocolate Cake”. We enjoy a wonderful evening together and we make many happy memories! Thanks for the opportunity to win one of your books….they look delightful!
I love spring. It’s like the light at the end of the tunnel of winter.
i love each holiday as they come and try to cook or bake something fun with my kids for each one. Like for Easter, we always make a round, layered chocolate cake with peeps of all different colors on the top and toffee bits in the middle of them.
I love all the seasons especially when there’s a transition from one to the next. In Minnesota we can move quickly from one to the other.
