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…
Spring! I’m so glad it’s almost here. I love planting new flowers and seeing new blossoms on the trees. It brings a freshness to life.
Growing up in Seattle has made summer my favorite season hands down! I love having the kids home, and playing lots.
Winter without a doubt!
Thanks
my favorite season is Spring. I can’t wait for it!
My favorite season is fall! It cools down and changing leaves are gorgeous.
Spring for certain. The world warms up and I get to watch my 6-yr-old ladybug snip flowers from the yard. Dandilions hold a whole new meaning for me now.
We have a little tradition in our family …we pick a food and buy either a variety of that item or different brands and sample and pick the one we like best, like least, etc… and do a critique on the item. We have sampled different kinds of apples, chocolate chip cookies, fruit snacks, different kinds of olives, chocolate milks, and at Christmas time, we splurge and buy about 6-7 different kinds of cheeses from around the world and samples those. We do it every few months. Our next venture will be sampling chocolates (good quality and different country’s chocolates….YUM!)
My favorite season is Fall! I love the crisp air, and the wonderful flavors of that season… yum!
Fall is my favorite season!
My favorite season is autumn. I love the cooler weather and the beautiful leaves. My husband and I love to go on Sunday drives, especially in the autumn to look at all of the lovely foliage. Thanks for having this giveaway! I am sorry for your posting woes but I am excited about your books! 🙂
PS (my email is [email protected])
My favorite season is Summer… BBQ’s, lemonade, popsicles, salads, etc.
I would choose Mormon Moms in the Kitchen. 🙂 Thank you!!
My husband and I are in the process of starting family traditions. Our favorite so far is New Years: we ear lil’smokies and meatballs made with the ketchup and grape jelly recipe, drink sparkling cider in goblets, and sneak a kiss at midnight. One I am working on now is for St. Patrick’s Day: a leprechaun is going to sneak into our apt and leave a treasure hunt– for now my husband gets to play along, but someday we will have little ones to share in the fun (I have to practice now, so I can have a collection of rhyming clues). 🙂 Thank you for teaching me to cook!
Harvest—it seems the freshness of the harvests. Spring becasue of new beginnings–summer sunshine–Winter the cold I can’t pick jsut one do I really have to. YOu can’t have one season with out the other and if I have to say one I would use this word ALL Seasons.
This is simple but I love having colored pancakes for the various holidays: red for Valentine’s, green for St. Patrick’s, etc.
Since I feel that winter has lasted way too long around here, I am looking forward to Spring. When it finally arrives it will be my new favorite season this year! I do enjoy the green grass and mountains and the excitement of seeing new leaves starting to grow on the trees. Tulips are so beautiful and always a surprise when they appear places you never even planted them.
A new favorite holiday that has become more fun since I am a mom and have my own kids is Valentine’s day. I always felt it was singles awareness day, but I have tried to turn it into a day to just tell anyone you love that you love them.
I make a special dinner that everyone loves and we eat it as a family by candlelight. We each give each other a love notes throughout the day and before the day is over I give my kids a little fun thing like treat or toy. They really look forward to Valentine’s and it has really changed the holiday for me too!
Thank you for this website and the delicious recipes that you share here! My kids all love every dish I have made and one of their favorites are the chicken or beef taquitos. There are four of them and all 6 and under. I love making good food for them and my husband and seeing them gobble it up! Thanks!
I love, love summer. We love to spend time in our yard and also at our firepit. We love spending time in our garden. Love all all the great veggies that we grow in our raised beds. My favorite holiday though is Halloween. My brother and I share the same birthday (the day before Halloween)and my mom always made it special for both of us. I love your website and use many recipes. I would love to win one of the cookbooks.
Fall is my favorite season, by far. I love the smells, colors, tastes, memories…everything about the season!
I love all the family and feasting time at Thanksgiving!
I would normally say Fall, but I am itching for warm spring weather right now.
Thanksgiving or Easter, both don’t have a lot of pressure. I get to experiment a little with sides or breakfast items.
I’m one of those people who loves the beginning of every season. I think my favorite is fall though, and my favorite holiday is Christmas! 🙂
SUMMER! Berries, berries, everywhere!!
I can’t wait for summer! I love the long days and barbecues, and I’m expecting my second little boy this July. 🙂 I got Savoring the Seasons for Christmas, so I would LOVE to own your first book too! For reals. There is a roasted red pepper dip that my friend made for our play group that i know is in that book! Yum!
I love the Spring, but here in Utah I always find myself wishing it could last longer. The summer heat rushes in all too quickly.
I enjoy Fall. I also love our tradition of King Cakes – sad to see that end this year.
First of all THANK YOU for your awesome website! I found it in December and have loved all recipies the I have tried. My favorite holiday is Easter. For about 6 yrs now my family has celebrated the week before easter, learning about the life of Christ and as my children have gotten older the activites have changed a little. It is absolutely the BEST week of the year.
I love Thanksgiving and Christmas! They are special times in my family where we all get to see eachother despite our busy schedules.
Love the summer. Especially grilling and COLD watermelon!
I love summer cooking and pool time. Fresh produce that is delicious and yummy dinners cooked on the grill.
I love autumn. Caramel apples, cinnamon, pie, thanksgiving and Christmas… Definitely the best time of the year!
