A Cause for Celebration. . .and a GIVEAWAY!

*** Drawing is Closed***

Happy Holidays to all of you!  I had such a rewarding week this week!  I've been waiting and waiting for this week to come....because it meant my name was to be published in Woman's World Magazine. 

This is the cover...

A couple months back I received an email from an adorable girl {love the way she writes} asking me if I would be interested in having my opinion on BAKING TOOLS published in the Woman's World Magazine... ummmm, well, perhaps I should think for a minute...... well, YEAH!!!  At first I thought maybe it was a joke!  So, I emailed her back with a response and some follow-up questions.  An immediate {and I mean IMMEDIATE} reply popped up with a phone number to call for the interview, but the following day.  Of course, what to do first... CALL MY MOM!  Second, text my husband... Third, dance around the house like a little girl on Christmas morning that just got a pink pony! Fourth, SCREAM! Alright, you get the picture, right?

So, the following day I called her... we chit-chatted like old friends. What a fun gal she is! It was so weird to me how in that little moment, my hard work was truly paying off.  You know, when I started my blog, it wasn't because I wanted to be famous or become rich off a blog.  I just didn't see the possibilities in all that.  I just wanted to share the passion of what I loved.... baking, cooking, and being a housewife!  I have wanted to be a housewife my whole life and this was just an amazing thing to be able to do from home.  As the last year has went by, my blog has become PART of me.  I love it. And when I don't spend time there, I MISS it!  I get to bake all sort of yummy goodies for my friends, family and neighbors, take pictures, and share the recipes will others.  I get to intereact with people whom I have never met in person, but who I truly adore and appreciate, because they are part of my life now.  I also get to hear from those I do personally know and love.  I don't mean to be all mushy, but I just want to thank everyone for all of their support in the last year!  THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

You Deserve the Best!..... pg 40.... can you see my name?

Did I say thank you?  Well, probably not enough..... so I would like to show you how much I thank you!  Can you guess what my favorite baking gadget is?  What do I use alot in my recipes?  Of course, there are sooooo many things I love.  But this year, my most favorite gadget was the SILPAT!  So, I AM GIVING ONE AWAY!  {This is the moment where YOU jump up and down and SCREAM like the little girl on Christmas morning with the pink pony :)} 

To enter to win a SILPAT, just take a minute a do the following things:
Each one of you has FOUR chances to win!

So... I ran home from town knowing that I had something to do tonight that was time pressing! But what was it? O...M...G!!! It's the blog!!! I seriously ran in the house like it was a life or death situation screaming "I gotta do my drawing!!" . Then I realized it's nearly 2 1/2 hours before Saturday is technically over, so really..... I'm safe :) So I once again called on the random number generator. I was so excited when I counted the comments to #19 that read:

***AND THE WINNER IS.......**

I am soooo sorry that I haven't posted anything on my blog for a few days. I have been sooooo busy with a project I have going on and it will be done tomorrow. And it of course, involves cooking, so I will be posting some yummy stuff Friday! But, as for now..... I must announce the winner to the FREE SKOOKIE PAN SET!!!!

Penny Jacobsen is the new proud owner of a set of SKOOKIE PANS!!!! Congratulations!!!!!

Can't wait to get back to normal and posting more recipes!!!!!

*** FREE CAMP CHEF SKOOKIES ***

I am soooo excited! I have decided to have a giveaway and it's a GOOD one! A CAMP CHEF SKOOKIE SET WITH CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE MIX could be yours! So here is the deal: I will continue to do my normal recipes that I have been posting. But at least 2 days a week for the next month, I will post a recipe that can be used with a skookie pan. You can use all these recipes in your pans you have at home too, this will just be a great way to get more ideas and creativity in your kitchen.
Items like these in your kitchen are priceless because you can also use them in your outdoor kitchen too.... and they will last for generations and generations. They are made of cast iron and over time will develop a wonderful finish that makes them easy to cook with and clean. They are pre-seasoned so they already have a nonstick finish but they only get better with time and use!
I have a couple sets of these pans and we love to have "Skookie Night" at our house! It is SO MUCH FUN!
So, this is what I need from you: When you read a post on my blog, leave a comment. Suggest new ideas, give me any suggestions you may have, try the recipes and report back how you liked them, etc. I want to hear from you people! At the end of the month period, I will number the comments and randomly draw a number and the owner of that comment will win the AwEsOmE set of SKOOKIE PANS!
Remember to tell your friends about the drawing for **FREE CAMP CHEF SKOOKIES**.

Can't wait to hear from all of you!

Happy Cooking!
