Happy Wednesday Foodie Friends! I have some wonderful things planned for you in the coming weeks! I have brownies, cookies, candies, cake and pies, oh and a few wonderful savory dishes to boot. I mean we can’t live off of Sweets alone can we? Well I would like to…. Yesterday I sat down got all organized and made a game plan of recipes that will take me all the way through Christmas! Twenty-Five of them to be exact. Looking in all the recipe books and sifting through my idea folder really made me hungry and excited to get the whole show going! To start the Holiday Season off right I thought I would do something fun and rewarding. Rewarding to you my loyal followers! I am having my Second Giveaway here at The Plaid and Paisley Kitchen! My First Giveaway was a Cookbook and I was so excited to Mail it out to the winner. Terri, I hope that you are loving the cookbook and have made some yummy treats from it!
This month I decided to offer you a Subscription to a fun and easy little cookbook magazine. We all thumb through them in the checkout line at the grocery store, sometimes we even buy them. Most times we can find a really good quick and easy meal in them and they usually become family favorites.
You know this kind of fun little cookbook! Now I realize that we are supposed to pretend that we are such wonderful cooks, nay mini chef’s even, that we have all the recipes running around in our heads all the time. Well that simply just isn’t always true, no matter what image that we like to project. The great thing about these little cookbooks is that they have some great starter recipes that you can jazz up and really make your own. Take these brownies for instance. I added a table spoon of instant coffee granules and used a high quality white chocolate bar in the frosting. The recipe didn’t call for those items but boy did just those two little changes give these brownies a POP! I am hoping that you will enter and spread the word! The prize is a year subscription to Pilsbury Classic Cookbooks! You will recieve 6 issues in 2013 that is every single one, best part is you don’t even have to stand in line to get them! From the comfort of your own house you can enter in your pajamas even!

Another reason that I am having this giveaway is that I am trying to hit 500 followers on Facebook by Thanksgiving! I have grown almost 100 in the past weeks, so I am really ramping up the marketing plan to hit 500! If I can make my goal I am going to do a big giveaway as my thank you to you for helping achieve my goal! So enter here and enter often and spread the word!
