One for you and (maybe) one for me


It’s that time of year again. Time for my blogiversary celebration! I can’t believe I’ve been doing this for almost 3 years now! Last year I had two giveaways to celebrate my second blogiversary, so it only makes sense that this year, I’ll have 3 giveaways leading up to my 3rd blogiversary, which is coming up on August 28.

All three giveaways will be a similar format. Each week I’ll post of list of kitchen related items that I either already have and love or that I’ve been wanting.

When you enter into the giveaway, you’ll let me know which item off the list you’d like to have. If the winner has picked something that I want, I’ll get one for you and one for me. If it’s something I already have, then I’ll just get one for you. How fun is that!

For the first giveaway, I’ve got a list of cookbooks. Some of these are my go-to cookbooks that I love to sit down with when I need some inspiration. Others are cookbooks that are on my list. Here’s the list in no particular order:


Donuts from William Sonoma


Baking Illustrated from Cooks Illustrated


Baking from My Home to Yours by Dorie Greenspan


Martha Stewart’s Cookies


Good Eats: The Early Years by Alton Brown


Good Eats 2: The Middle Years by Alton Brown (pre-order)


Cake Pops by Bakerella (pre-order)

Some rules:
– Enter by midnight (EST) Friday, August 13
– One lucky winner will be chosen at random
– Open to US mailing addresses only

To enter, leave a comment answering:
– Which of these cookbooks would you like to win?

Extra:
– If you’d like to receive a second entry, go to my Facebook page and leave me a comment with the name of your favorite cookbook.

    You know, I finally saw the cookie episode you keep mentioning last night. I caught it on right before bed! 🙂 It made me think of you.

    Congratulations to Rachel!! And I would be sad that I didn’t win, but the day after I read your post I found the book at Costco and bought it! Couldn’t help myself. I had even told my husband about it knowing he would get it for Christmas or my birthday…but couldn’t wait.

    And it is even more wonderful than I thought it would be! Thank you for the heads up. I don’t know what rock I had been living under, but I hadn’t even HEARD about this book until you posted about it!

    And I am already anticipating volume two and three!

    hehe – I just sent you an email! So excited to win something!!!
    And yes Julie – I taped the cookie episode yesterday too. I always use the “Mrs. Fields/ Nieman Marcus $250 cookie recipe” but I will have to try Alton’s now that I have his book. =)

    Thank you!!!!!!!

    Yes, My DVR caught the chocolate chip cookie episode too. I can’t wait to watch it again.

    I’m planning on reading this cookbook like a novel, front to back. There’s so much good info in it.
