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…
I like spring! I love it that the days are getting longer and things are starting to grow.
I love fall, halloween, all of it!
My favorite season is a tie between summer and autumn. I like summer because of the obvious – it’s summer! Warm, sunny, and lots of activities to do 🙂 Autumn is still mildly warm and I love the holidays in autumn and all the colors.
Spring is my favorite, and I’d love your cookbook. It’s been on my “to buy” list lately 🙂
Fall is my favorite season, but after all the snow this winter, spring is looking pretty good too!
I love spring and early summer – when I can open the windows wide and I don’t have to worry about the a/c!
My favorite season is Summer! I love hanging out at the neighborhood pool all day with my three boys, my friends and all of their friends.
Thanksgiving and New Year’s Eve are my favorite holidays.
Without a doubt, Spring! After a loooong winter, it is so nice to start fresh!!
My fav season is fall – the weather, color changes, football & apple pie!
I bought both your books but would love to win won and give to a friend to share your wonderful book and website! Love it!!
My favorite holiday some people don’t consider a holiday. It’s Valentine’s Day, I just love a day full of love!
Fall is my favorite season! Although right now I’m just ready for spring!
I love the Christmas season best!
Hmmm. I love Christmas and all the fun things that go along with it. But there’s also the crisp weather of fall and the flowers of spring and the Popsicles of summer….I can’t decide!
Love cooking during all seasons but especially when seasons are changing like now when I’m going from soups to light and healthy with the change in weather! I would love the savoring the seasons cookbook!
My favorite season is fall. I love the changing leaves, cooler weather and the baking!
I love summer and fall. Perfect weather.
Love your cookbook. I bought it a couple of years ago and it’s one of my favorites! I like Halloween as far as holidays go. And your cookbook makes such a perfect gift for new brides!
BBQ season!! I love to grill and love anything that comes off the grill! Thanks for the chance to win, fingers crossed it’s me!! 🙂
nothing beats christmas for me!
Christmas- presents, food, family!
I really love the fall and my favorite holiday is Halloween!
I love the Fourth of July!
My favorite time of the year is planning and celebrating my children’s birthdays!
My favorite season is Spring. I love the first warm days start!
At the moment, my favorite season is definitely spring… and it’s so close!
Normally I would say the fall, but our little bit of spring weather is making me LOVE the spring!
I love the fall! Thanks for the giveaway you ladies are amazing & inspiring.
My favorite tradition is celebrating birthdays of loved ones that have already passed on. I like to use this opportunity to teach my kids about my awesome grandparents. I usually make a meal that that grandparent loved. Also I bake their favorite cake or make their favorite dessert, tell stories about them and show pictures. This is a good way to keep the memory of them alive. I also use it as an opportunity to ask my parents about any forgotten memories about their parents. And that’s my favorite tradition 🙂
I love Christmas, but my favorite season is Autumn…crisp, fresh, motivating.
My favourite season is Winter. Simply because its the most manic time of year for me. I work in theatre and always work on the 10 week pantomime that spans right from middle of November to the end of January. 2 shows a day – nearly every day! (We got 6 days off in 2012 – christmas eve and christmas day included – and then 4 days off in January 2013.) Through all of this, my most favourite thing to do on the occasion of a one day show or a day off is to bake. I make roughly 30-70 cupcakes a go, depending on how generous I want to be with my time or how tired I am. I get requests right from the beginning of rehearsals and old cast telling the new guys “Oh you have to try her cupcakes!” I make cookies and cakepops, gluten free or dairy free along with all their yummy toppings and other things too but the basic cupcakes seem to stand out the most.
Although it is incredibly busy and I only see my family for Christmas eve and Christmas day and my home becomes a total clutter of clean clothes not put away, I still seem to love every second of the madness. The extra work brings in extra cash which allows me to buy more ingredients and stock up on decorating supplies. It also allows me an audience to test my new creations on!
Yep, Winter is definitely my favourite season. 🙂
