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…
My favorite holiday season is Christmas! I ALWAYS gain about 8 lbs, but since it’s cold I can wear sweaters and stretchy pants and bake to my heart’s content. And I looooooove you guys and your recipes and if I lived near either of you I would insist we be best friends 🙂
Christmas is my favorite holiday. Days go by so fast, but I have noticed that at Christmas time, I really try to make the most of every day. I don’t mind the early dark nights because it gives me more time to cuddle with my kids, look at our trees and read more stories.
Autumn! After the heat of summer I am ready for some cool, crisp days. I love the colorful trees and the smell of a fireplace burning.
My favorite time of year is August when our family camps at Pine Lake for a ghost town reunion that has been taking place for over sixty-five years.
Any holiday that revolves around family. Food is just the excuse we use to be together and share/make things for the people we love.
Spring! I love when cold Utah winters are over!
My favorite season is Spring. Spring in Texas means you finally have a couple weeks to be outside before it gets too hot. All the leaves and flowers are growing again and the earth is beautiful.
Summer!!
Christmas!! I can never get enough of the holiday spirit around that time of year.
Absolutely fall. It’s the beginning of football season, leaves start to turn, you get to look forward to Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. I also love that it starts to cool down a bit and we can enjoy being outside more!
My all time favorite holiday is Halloween. There are so many crafts and fun foodie type things you can do for Halloween. Each year our dinner menu contains “witches coins” = sliced carrots, “Mummy dogs” = hotdogs wrapped in pizza crust or crescent rolls, and then something new each year. This year we had “snotty noodles” = noodles with pesto. The kids LOVE IT! 🙂
My all-time favorite holiday is Thanksgiving. I love that it’s not commercialized and that it encourages gratitude. Having family and friends together to eat is one of my favorite things in life.
Most of the year I would say Christmas is my favorite holiday but right now I am just desperate for spring to arrive (and my baby too)!! So I will have to say that I love spring the very most right now!
I’m a summer girl!
I have your first cookbook and am obsessed with it. I’d LOVE to win the 2nd one!
Fall has to be my favorite season, but spring is a very close second.
My favorite season is spring, I love seeing all the flowers bloom
I love the fall, but my fav tradition is making sugar cookies on Christmas Eve with my girls!
Fall!
I love Fall and I love Thanksgiving! I love good food and being with family!
Christmas, hands down. Food and twinkle lights make me happy.
Yay! My favorite season is Fall. The overbearing heat of Summer finally lets off, the trees start turning their gorgoeus colors, and did I mention pumpkin pie? 🙂
FALL all the way! I love the cool air, the leaves, pumpkins, corn mazes & caramel apples!!!
I don’t think I can pick just one! I love the changing of seasons. Just when I think I can’t stand one more day of dreary grey winter, spring comes. Then after a long hot summer, fall brings beautiful colors and cool “sleep with the windows open” nights. And then snow… I love it all. For a few months at least….
You would think with my name being Summer, it would be a given that summer is my favorite season, but….. I really love Spring!
This is so hard because I think every season has its beautiful things, fun traditions. But I think the most magical one for our family is winter/Christmas. The anticipation of Santa and Christmas day is unforgettable!
Fall is a beautiful time of the year to enjoy the harvest from your garden and all the delicious meals to place on the table before your gathered family.
Summer, it can hurry and get here!
Maybe I am a little biased right now because I am desperately longing for it, but SPRING!! Spring is so full of hope and new life and expectations. I adore SPRING!!
Love, love Christmas! Tradition: being a secret Santa for a needy family or making cookies and taking them around as we go caroling to the widows/widowers in the neighborhood.
Right now spring is my favorite. I’m ready for it. When it gets hot and I’m sick of summer, I’ll love fall!
