Announcing Forced to Cook's First GIVEAWAY!

Hello, friends!  We are delighted by the feedback we get regarding people using our recipes!  It is always a joyful surprise, especially when we get an unexpected email from a stranger somewhere out there who has become a fan of our blog....and sometimes of US!  A follower emailed us this week who is apparently the leader of an unofficial fan club of Rachel's!  :)  Well, fan club might be a strong term, but who could blame them even if it was fact?!  Rachel is amazing and is a fabulous writer!  If you haven't already, you may want to check out her personal blog and help her on her journey to adopting a baby!

The unexpected fan email made us think that it was time to reward our fellow lazy chefs by doing our first-ever BLOG GIVEAWAY!  Would you like a cute little Christmas package delivered straight to your door?  Great!  Then enter our giveaway.  On Wednesday night at 8:00 (baby's bedtime!) I will look at all of the entries and choose a winner using a random online number generator.  That lucky winner will be receiving the following little care package in the mail:

1.  Darling Christmas kitchen towels to clean up your lazy-cooking messes.
2.  Two bars of yummy-smelling homemade soaps made by my mother-in-law, the lovely and talented Paulette McKenna.
3.  A bag of twenty of my Grandma Elaine's divine homemade caramels (made by me).  They are NOT for lazy cooks, so the recipe will never show up here, but that doesn't make them any less delicious!
4.  A bag of pure nectar from Heaven: Cadbury Christmas Balls, a.k.a. Cadbury Mini Eggs with differently colored shells.  The Westover women have a MAJOR weakness for Cadbury Mini Eggs, so you can imagine how delighted we were to discover that they had started making a Christmas version.  Especially since now we can make these cookies twice a year!  Yum!  (Don't worry, the recipe will be included.)

It's not much, but it's yummy and fun!

Here's how to enter:

1.  For one entry, just comment on this post.
2.  For an extra entry, include in the comment that you leave on this post two or three of your favorite or most-often cooked recipes from this blog.
3.  For TWO extra entries, become a follower of this blog (current followers, you already get two extra entries).

That's four chances to win total!  So don't forget to come back Thursday morning to see if you are the lucky winner, because if you are then I will need your address ASAP!  Additionally, along with the winner I will also be posting my up-until-now-super-secret-coffee-cake-recipe!!  It's our family's favorite Christmas morning treat, and you can make it the night before so you just throw it in the oven Christmas morning and don't need to take time out of your precious morning to bake!

GOOD LUCK!!
