Avon Walk Weekly Update
It’s time again for my weekly Avon Walk update. If you’d like to see my full training calendar, check it out here or on the left sidebar of my blog.
Thoughts on training: The weather this weekend was awesome. Special shout out to Hubby who went on a 9 mile walk with me on Saturday! I was supposed to go on a walk this morning, but that pain in the tendon on the top of my left foot has come back and more severe this time. I decided to give it a rest and walk tomorrow instead. I still need to figure out what is causing this pain!
Thoughts on fundraising: I had another couple donations come in this week and I’m almost to my goal!
Miles walked last week: 9
Minutes doing cardio: 0
Minutes doing cross training or weight lifting: 0
Total $$ raised: $2,270
Thanks to everyone who has donated so far! If you’d like to donate to support my walk, you can make a donation on my Avon Walk page.

Happy Blogiversary! I would love the Cake Pops Cookbook. I love making cake pops, and love what she comes up with.
Happy blogiversary! What a fun giveaway. I would choose Baking Illustrated from Cooks Illustrated since I already own Dorie’s book, don’t think I’d make cake pops and although I love Alton, don’t think I’d use his cookbooks.

Sues
Now that is a fun giveaway! I own hundred of cookbooks and come up short in the baking category…I want the Dorie Greenspan one most!

Woohoo! Happy Blogiversary. I’d pick the second Good Eats book “The Middle Years” since I have the first one and love it and Alton Brown and the show!
Happy Blogiversary! I’d pick Baking Illustrated hands down.
So hard to choose from this list but I think my top choice would have to be Baking Illustrated.
Cake Pops!
Happy Blogiversary! I’d love to have Donuts from William Sonoma – the donuts on the cover look amazing.
Happy Blogiversary! I’d love either of the Alton Brown cookbooks – I’ve *almost* bought them several times, but I can’t seem to justify buying ANOTHER cookbook!

Whee! Congratz!
I keep doubting about starting a blog. And here you are already three years running! *applause*
I too would probably go for the Baking Illustrated book, because of (hopefully) the extra information to make me a better baker!
I’m torn! But after serious thought, I think I would choose Baking Illustrated because I love Cooking Illustrated, so this book must be great. Or maybe the donut one…mmmm…donuts…No, def Baking Illustrated!
I’d love to win the Martha Stewart Cookies cookbook. I have a thing for cookies and have been eying this one for a while now. π
Happy Blogiversary!
I’d love to win Baking Illustrated. I recently made the cupcakes from Cooks Illustrated and they were amazing, I’d like to try out some more of their recipes.
Happy Blogiversary!
Good Eats! Cake Pops! Good Eats 2! (Is it legit to choose three?) If I had to pick just one, I’d probably have to go with Alton Brown. Love Alton Brown. Book 1, since I don’t have it and should probably start at the beginning.
I would like to win Baking from my home to yours. Happy Blogiversary π
I would love to have either of the Alton Brown books. He is my new hero…
Happy blogiversary!

Happy blogiversary! I’ve enjoyed reading π
I would love to win Baking from My Home to Yours! I’ve heard wonderful things.
3 years- kudos! It’s so fun to be able to read your blog, and fun for you to know you’re creating so much joy in the baking world! I’d love to check out the Williams Sonoma donut book–what is better than a homemade donut?!

Cake Pops! I’ve been dying to make some!
Hey Jen, what a cool idea! I just found your page today and am loving it!
As for the cookbook I would choose, it’s hard to pick–especially since I am a cookbook collector and just LOST all my cookbooks when our basement flooded during one of the spring storms we had here in MA! They were in boxes b/c I had moved recently and they were all just destroyed…and it killed me to toss them!
So, I think Dorie’s book looks very interesting so that is the one that I would say I’d choose! Good luck to everyone!

Three years! Really hard to believe, but then again, all those good recipes you’ve posted could fill a book – maybe you should think about publishing one of your own!
In the meantime, I’d love the Eary Years cookbook by Alton.
Cake Pops just popped out at me. Pardon the awful pun.
What a great idea! Count me in for Dorie Greenspan’s book please.
