Cookbook Giveaway!

This giveaway is closed. Thanks for entering!  

It's been a LONG time since I've given away one of my cookbooks.  What was I thinking waiting for so long?!


Anyway.  I'm ready to remedy this little blunder by offering up a free cookbook to TWO readers this week.  Just leave a comment below and tell me if you have a favorite recipe from my site.  If you own the cookbook already, let me know what you've tried and loved so I can enter you to win one for a friend.  If you haven't tried any of my recipes- not a problem.  Just click on the recipe tab at the top and let me know of a recipe you'd like to try.



Please one entry per household.  Remember to leave me your initials or first name to help identify you if you win.  I'll randomly draw two winners this Friday and announce the winners here later that day.  Consider them early Christmas presents:-). Happy entering!!

  9. I am new to your site...a friend posted about your cookbook and how much she loves it. I am trying to ween myself and family (full of food allergies and special needs) off of processed food...so even if I don't win I am going to purchase it. But looking through your recipes I would like to try the pasta with Green beans and sun dried tomatoes....only difference is ours would need to be gluten free

  10. I made the Salted Caramel Apple Bars. They were so good. Would love to try recipes from the cookbook, Thanks for the chance to win. Cindy B.

  11. Your 'Fruit and Oats' muffins are definitely a winner!

  12. I am for any thing chocolate so "Chocolate Fondue" would be a good place to start.

  13. Oh my goodness, I would love to have your cookbook. For the first time, I looked at your recipes and right off the bat noticed your 'Zucchini Pumpkin Bread'. I have a bag of frozen zucchini in the freezer and some canned pumpkin in the fridge, leftover from baking Pumpkin Madelines last week. As I peered into that freezer, I was thinking of how I need to use up that zucchini... I'll try your recipe for sure as I also like substituting things like applesauce, or in this case--pumpkin for oil. Then... I was just racking my brain for what to fix for supper tonight that didn't have meat in it (we are cutting back cause of cost and trying to eat 'heart healthy'), and I see a huge list of vegetarian recipes... awesome! I like the look of the photo of the bow-tie pasta with pesto (?) so will go take a look at that recipe and the others. Thank you for showing me what to make for supper tonight and many more nights! Hope I win a cookbook, but I know it's in God's hands. Have a great day!

  20. Hi Jane! I have never tried any of your recipes, nor even looked at the cookbook, even though I did purchase it last year...It was a gift for my dear daughter-in-law who lives 2 states over from us. So! I would love to get one for me! I looked over your recipes and it is hard to choose just 1 that I would like to try! I think I would choose "Oatmeal Rolls"! Please enter me in your contest! Thank you so much for offering it again! Cheeryshirley

  23. I printed the recipe for the salted caramel apple bars; I haven't had a chance to make them. I can't wait. Amy P.

    ReplyDelete
  24. For any of you who don't already have this cook book of Jane's . . . oh my, where to begin? I can testify that the Chocolate Scones are wonderful! The White Chili is now one of our very favorite soups. The Corn Fritters are easier to make and 10 times more flavorful than the recipe I made for years. Trust me, this is a fantastic book full of tried and true recipes. If you win it, you'll love it. Or the person you give it to will love it.

  28. Currently, my favorite recipe is the Oatmeal Bake. In fact, I made it yesterday morning before church so that we could enjoy it for breakfast upon our return. What I love about it is that it is very filling and a great breakfast dish for a cold, autumn morning.

  75. Hi, I have tried responding twice and my comment is not appearing, trying again (not duplicating entry). I would love to win your cookbook. I tried canning for the first time last year using your tomato sauce recipe and the steps from your site. All my jars sealed and my family loved the sauce! I want to make more this year to include in homemade gift baskets I'm putting together. I am also hoping to try another recipe and successfully can it. Possibly Jam. Lori J
