winners of the giveaway, and a preview of December

Well, with our trip to Colorado, a two-day power outage covering the entire island, and Thanksgiving, it took me longer to choose these winners, using Random.org, than I had hoped. But here they are!


Winners of our cookbook

Ricki of Diet Dessert and Dogs with her Coconut Walnut Shortbread Cookies

"This is my first gluten-free Thanksgiving and I'm actually pretty anxious about it. I'm definitely going to have to find time to make some of these recipes! They all sound AMAZING!! {But right now, I'm trying to finish up my last quarter of school so it's gonna have to wait!} I'll be bookmarking this post, for sure!!"

GF since August 15th, 2010, life changing experience. It hasn't been easy, but I'm loving cooking. I got Glutened (ate out,and they said it was GF) last Friday, and now so worried about Thanksgiving. Going to my B/F's relatives 6hour flight from home. My B/F is very supportive and plans to take me to the grocery store when we get there, the night before Thanksgiving. I plan to make myself (and others if they want) something I loved and made at home before. I hope the link works. - Sweet and red potatoes, raisins - cranberries, red onions , sea salt, ground pepper, dill

Now, there's more....




As soon as we were done with Thanksgiving dinner, the holiday season began around here. In this house, that means baking and cooking from some of our favorite cookbooks, making up new recipes, and cookies.

So, that's what we're going to be giving you from now until the end of December.

On Monday, we're going to have another giant giveaway, as well as a great resource for those of you looking for presents for your favorite food lover. It's our Top Ten Cookbooks of 2010 (plus 2 more) and 12 people are going to win a cookbook. Stop by in the morning to see.

I will tell you more about this on Wednesday, but we will be doing the 12 days of holiday cookies/treats all through December. We're converting cookies every day around here, making sure we can give you great recipes to make in your own kitchen.

We know most of them already, but there are a few slots still to be decided. So leave us a comment about your favorite holiday cookie, along with a link to the recipe. We might choose yours for the cookie extravaganza!

Oh, and those cookies you see pictured. You're definitely going to want those.
