Hello dear friends! A big thank you to everyone who entered my cookbook giveaway. I just read through each of your comments, and each one is such a blessing to me! I really wish I could give each and every one of you a copy of my cookbook!!

Today is the day I am giving away a paperback copy, and a Kindle copy of my cookbook. 

I am very excited to announce the two winners!

COOKBOOK GIVEAWAY! 

It has been a delightful adventure getting my cookbook published. I'm grateful to all of you who have expressed interest in my simple homegrown recipes! My passion for cooking, which began in childhood while assisting my mother in the kitchen, inspired the creation of this cookbook. Our parents kept a large garden, and we ate from the garden that supplied a plenteous supply of vegetables for our large family, friends, and neighbors. My dream was to compile a cookbook that showcases the various ways I incorporate homegrown vegetables and fruits into our family meals.  

I'm excited to finally share a surprise with you! In October, our daughter and son-in-law will welcome a new baby! It was during their birthday party in March that they shared the news but we were asked to keep it quiet until Danielle entered her second trimester.  That was hard to do! 

Being an enthusiastic gardener, I rely on the vegetables I grow in my garden - both canned and frozen - to eat from my pantry. There's nothing quite like the feeling of gathering the vegetables I need for a meal from my pantry and freezer during the winter.
