Giveaway Time!!!


I have a confession to make this week I haven't cooked very much,  unless you consider frozen potstickers and Jeno's pizza rolls cooking.  So Instead of sharing a recipe today I thought it would be nice to share with you a few blogs that I enjoy reading and to make it fun give away a cookbook.  The cookbook I have chosen this month is  Screen Doors and Sweet Tea: Recipes and Tales from a Southern Cook, by Martha Hall Foose.  This really is an awesome book that is full of great stories and recipes that you will want to cook.

So to enter you must follow my blog on google friend connect or become a follower and you must visit the four blogs listed below.  Then leave a comment telling me you visited them. 

I picked four very different blogs so I am sure you will find one you like.
  • Pam's Midwest Kitchen Korner  Read five of Pam's posts and you will feel like you have known her for years.
  • Nasi Lemak Lover  Sonia lives in Malaysia and it always amazes me seeing that half the world away from each other our lives are so similar.
  • Milk, Sugar, Musings, and Love  Ree has a real sweet tooth and I love reading her stories even more than the food.
  • Whistlestop Cafe Cooking  Now I have never had one of Sandi's fried green tomatoes, but something tells me hers are the best.
For additional entries you can blog about this giveaway, or share it on Facebook, or Twitter.  Leave one additional comment for each way you share it.  So if you do all four things you need to leave four comments.

This giveaway is open to everyone worldwide!

This giveaway ends on Tuesday August 17 at midnight CST.  I will use a random number generator to pic the winner.  The winner will be announced on August 18th, which just happens to be my 29th birthday.  So be sure to stop back by to see if you are a winner and to wish me a happy birthday.

If you are interested in another giveaway my friend Linda Burgett is giving away a copy of her latest cookbook over at My Kind of Cooking.

  11. Great blog links and what a thoughtful giveaway...especially from a southern gentleman ;)
    ReplyDelete
  12. Great giveaway! The cookbook looks awesome. I've been visiting Pam's blog for a long time, I've made several of her recipes and I think I have several on my waiting to be made list! The others were great, grilled zucchini, carrot cake and cherry smoothie? You're trying to kill me here! My mouth is drooling! Great idea to introduce different blogs. I keep thinking about doing that but I don't have time for the stuff that I AM doing already!

I still have to try and get some of the latter. I love your blog. Diane

    Thanks for the shout-out. You have some fun followers!

  21. Dear Bo, I'm too overwhelmed and so touch by you of putting me in one of the four blog listed. Thank you so much! Actually I'm not a professional blogger, I just a normal housewife who like to eat, cook, bake and share my recipes to who also love cooking/baking. I will defintely visit the rest of three blogs that you highly recommended. Have a great weekend ahead, and Thanks again! Cheers.

  27. Oh my goodness, Bo, I can't express how touched I am to get a mention from you. I love your blog so much because you incorporate pieces of home and the place you grew up in your food. To me, that equals, not only delicious, but also LOVE. I've gotten several new visitors thanks to you and I'm looking forward to responding and visiting their blogs as well.

    I'm so very grateful to have found your blog, to be able to share in the heart of your kitchen and to be a part your bloggers' circle.

  30. You are such a sweetie, someone really ought to cook for you regularly! Geno's pizza rolls, I have not had those in forever! My mom would never buy us frozen foods, but I always wished, so I did for my kids from time to time- now we had fried green tomatoes on many many occasions and you would love them!
    ReplyDelete
  31. You are such a supporter of all things Southern, aren't ya! This looks like a good book, too. I love Ree's blog...and recently discovered Pam's...the other two are new to me, but I definitely love finding new places to drool....so, I stopped by and visited them =)

  45. Food, food, glorious food. I notice that I'll say things like, "You look good enough to eat!" I seem to compare everything to food. You don't think I have a...problem...do you?

    We have a very popular restaurant here in Portland called the "Screen Door". The book made me think of it. Cook on, Bo!
    ReplyDelete
  46. Oh my gosh! I'm late to the party! You know I read you all the time Bo and don't know how I missed this post!!!

    Thanks for the nod and I'm a follower to the others. Nasi Lemak Lover is new to me and I'm glad to find her. Ree, great recipes but, it's all about her writing! She's a great writer just like you are! Whistlestop Cafe Cooking, always good and it's Southern. I haven't heard of the cookbook but it sounds great! Love that Southern thing ~ great giveaway!
