A big THANKS to everyone who participated. Comments are now closed on this post. I’ll announce my winner either Saturday or Sunday. Stay tuned for all the details!
Okay, I know my previous post said that my posting would likely be sparse the next couple of weeks. But I had to participate in the Carnival going on at Bloggy Giveways! I hope all of you stopping by will take some time to make yourself at home here on my little piece of the blogosphere.
For my give-away, I’m offering one lucky reader their choice of cookbook which I will have shipped from Amazon. Amazon and I are old friends. In fact, I recently shared my Amazon Auto-biography here and here.
Anway! You can choose among the following cookbooks for your prize:
The King Arthur Flour Whole Grain Baking: Delicious Recipes Using Nutritious Whole Grains
Robin Miller’s Quick Fix Meals
Everyday Pasta by Giada De Laurentiis
Simply leave me a comment, only one comment per person, stating which cookbook you’d like if you are choosen as the winner. Unfortunately, I do have to limit it to US or Canadian addresses. You can post comments until Friday, April 25, at 8pm central time. I’ll use a random number generator to choose the winner and post that announcement on Sunday, April 27th.
Good Luck!
Oh yes, don’t forget to head over to Bloggy Giveaways for more great giveaways!

I think I’ll go with Everyday Pasta, but that is a really hard choice because I like both Giada and Robin. Thanks for a great giveaway!

I think I’d have to take the pasta one, though the whole grains one is intriguing.

Can I please have them all ?? I love Giada but am trying to use more whole grains, and a quick fix meal. You would have to choose for me… or maybe Giada is my choice.

I think the Quick Fix Meals would be great for me, not because I never have time to fix a meal, but because I’m lazy sometimes ;) But the other two sound great too.. (I’m a food lover, anything to do with food is a tough decision for me – haha)

Hm, I think I’d pick Whole Grain Baking. I really enjoy baking, and I’d love to learn more about to incorporate whole grains. But it was a tough choice between that and Quick Fix meals, which would be very handy as a mother of 3!

I’d have to say the King Arthur one. Everytime I try to make something with wheat flour, it just doesn’t turn out. I’ve even used the white wheat. Maybe the recipe would help. I love King Arthur flour.
