Let's start fall off with a giveaway!

Fall is almost here and in Ky it's been pretty cool the last few days and I'm LOVING IT!  There is nothing I like more than sitting out on my back porch Saturday morning with a nice warm cup of coffee.  Actually, that's not possible right now because my back porch is in demolition-my husband is tearing out our old nasty concrete porch and making a new pretty patio! I am so excited! 

Anyway, let's get to the giveaway.  I told you before in this post that I really enjoy these travel mugs.  I have a few of them and they are great for taking to work using outside, or even inside since they're so cute.  And if you don't like coffee, they are great for tea as well.  Here's what you'll get:

1 coffee travel mug (aqua color)

1 12 oz. bag Starbucks (whole bean) coffee, Breakfast blend

Here is a better picture of the mug, you can see the color a little better:

Cookbook Giveaway!

It's time for another giveaway!

I pre-ordered this cookbook, In the Small Kitchen (Cara Eisenpress & Phoebe Lapine) months ago and it was patiently waiting for me when I got home from work today! What a great surprise.  I opened it up and read through the entire cookbook.  This cookbook is too cute and I cannot wait to get in my kitchen and make some of these recipes.  

One reason I love this book is because the authors are my age and make amazing creations in their TINY New York kitchens-if they can do it, so can I and so can YOU!  This book isn't just about cooking though, Cara and Phoebe (aka The Quarter Life Cooks) also include funny stories about their recipes and their lives. 

This book is also arranged by occasions for cooking; there are sections including:

                 Cooking for One

                 Potlucking

                 Cocktail Parties

                 Dating & Food

                 Brunch

                 Giving

                 The Dinner Party

                 Leftovers

How great is that? I find this way of organizing a cookbook super cool and helpful! If you're home alone and just cooking for yourself, if you need something transportable for a picnic, or something to take to a cocktail party, etc. Also, they have included a section called prep school which gives you instructions on basic cooking: browning meat, mashing potatoes, etc.  They have also included a section of recommended cooking supplies and pantry essentials to get you started without being overwhelmed. 

Anyway, since I am loving this book and think you will too, I'm giving away 2 copies! Yup, TWO copies! All you have to do is leave me a comment on this post answering the question:

What's your favorite cookbook? 

 (If you don't have a favorite, then just tell me if there is a cookbook you want)

Get Spring Started Giveaway!

I don't know about you guys but I am so ready for Spring! It's been far too cold here in Kentucky this winter.  So I am very excited about the warmer weather.  I'm really looking forward to planting a small garden in my back yard so I can have my own fresh produce :) Do you any of you have plans for a garden?


It's GIVEAWAY time!

I love cloth napkins and when I saw these I thought they would make a cute little gift for a giveaway.  I also found a matching oven mitt and pot holder to go along with them.  This giveaway includes:

1 oven mitt

1 pot holder

12 napkins

I love the fresh green color of these and they definitely put me in the mood for spring cooking!
