Yesterday was exactly 1 month since the release of my e-cookbook E-licious.
What a ride it has been!
I want to personally thank all of you for being so very supportive of me through this process, whether it be actually purchasing my book, reading along, hosting a giveaway, sharing on facebook, email, or twitter. I appreciate you all and in turn I’ve had a far better response than I ever thought was possible.
In one month’s time I’ve had over 13 giveaways, an article in my local newspaper, various cards, emails, and letters of support. I never did expect all of that and it has been wonderful.
I’ve had numerous bloggers ask about writing and creating an ebook. I say, if you have an idea or desire to create one, do it. The entire process is so much fun. Even the nitty gritty technical details that I don’t enjoy so much. Doing what you love makes it all worth it. But that’s just it, find and write what you love and know, the rest is just gravy.
And for fun, since I love you all, a few of my favorite things giveaway!!!
First up a Misto, you simply fill it with your favorite oil and use it to mist your pans, veggies, salads, etc. Super simple and easy.
Next, a Electric Wine-Bottle Opener, my mom has one of these and opening wine has never been easier, and it’s so fun!!
and last but not least my favorite, non stick Silpat, perfect for any baking, no cutting parchment paper, no food sticking to the pans, no mess and works like a charm every time.
To enter: To win all 3 a Misto, Electric Wine Opener, and a Silpat.

I just got this new apple corer/ slicer and I love it!!!
http://www.amazon.com/KitchenAid-Professional-Fruit-Slicer-Red/dp/B000684DM2/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1322841116&sr=8-2
I’m currently expecting my first child in April and have been craving (and eating) so many apples. I love using this since it’s sturdy with grip on the handles and can fit around big apples, unlike my old Dollar Store corer.
The newest thing I have bought is so silly, but I love it! Its an egg turner with a large hole in the middle, it works so much better than the others. Who knew? Love the website, keep those wonderful recipes coming!
I’m not a very big cook and always running around crazy busy, so i like easy recipes and kitchen items that make things simple, LOL..My new favorite item is the tupperware Quick Chef Pro…It chops so fast and easy…btw, can’t wait to try some of those recipes in your cookbook, YUMMY food :)) as for extra entries to this awesome giveaway, I also follow you on Facebook and am subscribed to your blog! I’m about to follow you on twitter too 🙂 LOL.
Ps..bought the egg turner at Ikea, sorry
My favorite product is the ground beef cumbler from Pampered Chef. It really helps make ground beef go a long way. http://www.pamperedchef.com/ordering/prod_details.tpc?prodId=15658&catId=96&parentCatId=96&outletSubCat=
It is actually called a mix n chop.
My newest favorite kitchen toy has to be my Porcelain Measuring Cups & Spoons from Crate & Barrel! They’re bright yellow & I just adore them…makes me feel so fancy! REALLY hope I win…I have none of those items!
My favorite kitchen item is my Silpat! I LOVE that thing! I’d love to have another one, so I can make Christmas cookies much faster! Those Silpats are worth their weight in gold.
I have so say I love my dutch oven and my electric pressure cooker!

I love our immersion blender and the attachments it came with. It blends soups, chops veggies, and whisks eggs easily with very little clean up.

I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE the Herb Grinder from Williams Sonoma!
http://www.williams-sonoma.com/products/microplane-herb-mill/?pkey=e%7Cherb%2Bgrinder%7C46%7Cbest%7C0%7C2%7C24%7C%7C7&cm_src=PRODUCTSEARCH||NoFacet-_-NoFacet-_-NoMerchRules-_-
It is seriously the best thing! I hate chopping herbs because they go all over the place. The Grinder keeps everything contained, and I don’t have to worry about the size of my cutting skills!
Oh! And I’m now following you on Twitter! 🙂
Lately, I’ve been loving my crockpot at least once a week. But all time favorite, I’d say my pampered chef stoneware that my mom bought me!

I LOVE my pampered chef can opener that doesn’t leave any sharp edges. No more cut fingers when opening them!!!! http://www.pamperedchef.com/ordering/prod_details.tpc?prodId=31046&words=can%20opener
I love my kitchen aid! I never thought I wanted one, but my sister in law insisted on buying us one as a wedding present! I am SO thankful she did! I LOVE it! Now…I really want that silpat! I’ve been eyeing them and have it on my purchase after Christmas with my money list!! 🙂

Kitchenaide Mixer!
I bought the Microplane zester a few months ago and I use it 4-5 times a week — how did I get by for so long without this wonderful creation!

My favorite new kitchen gadget? For me it’s parchment paper. I know it’s not new but I haven’t used it before and now that I’ve tried it – no going back!
Apparently it’s my kitchenaid mixer because I accidentally left it behind at my parents house after Thanksgiving and the thought of being a whole month without it actually brought me to tears. I’m not proud of that…
My favorite gadget is my Pampered Chef Garlic Press. Fresh garlic adds so much to my recipes!!! 🙂 (And I love your e-cookbook!)

I love my new cake top slicer. Even cakes every time now!
I liked your page on Facebook.
My favorite kitchen tool is a mix n chop. I use mine for breaking up ground meat so I don’t have to use my hands and it’s so much easier than a spatula! Saves time!! http://www.pamperedchef.com/ordering/prod_details.tpc?prodId=15658&catId=96&parentCatId=96&outletSubCat=

A new favorite kitchen item would be a new microwave oven. I’ve had the same 600 watt oven for 31 years.
I’m pretty sure I would die without my crock pot. Seriously. http://www.target.com/p/Crock-Pot-Oval-4-Qt-Red/-/A-10025827

Microplane grater…a little bit of freshly shredded parm can just about make anything better!

Mickey Mouse shaped sprinkles from our trip to Disney. Way cool…
The things I love most are my cutting boards. I keep my counter top scratch free and clean, my chopping is easier to transfer, and I can sterilize them in the dishwasher.
My favorite kitchen item would have to be my dutch oven. I find so
many uses for it. I fried apple fritters in it and had no problems with them sticking! LOVE My DUTCH OVEN!
Baking stone- learning to use it has been fun!
I love my new oxo digital scale! 🙂

We got a Cuisinart 5 in 1 Griddler for Christmas last year, and we love it. So many things we can do with it, and we all love coming up with new ideas for sandwiches, etc. Here is a link to one like it on amazon:
