Happy August and some Giveaway Winners!
Can you guys believe it’s August already? Where is this year going?!?
I have a few exciting things to announce. First of all, I have a winner for the Small Batch cookbook – Congratulations Ashley from Ashley’s Cooking Adventures
Second, thanks to the generous donations from you guys, we reached a $50 donation to both of my friends for their Avon Walk fundraising! That means that I’ll match your donations and donate $50 to each of them. And my company will match my donation which means the original $50 will turn into $150 for each of them! You guys are the best. And, one lucky reader who donated will win a box of goodies from yours truly. That lucky winner is Aiko!
Ashley and Aiko, please email me so we can work out the details of your prize. If I haven’t heard from the winners by the end of the day on Wednesday, I will choose new winners.
I love that your readers’ favorite recipes are both savory and sweet. It looks like you had a wonderful year in the kitchen and I’ve enjoyed following along!

I made the braised beef for a special occasion and it was AMAZING! Thinking I might need to make it again, now that you’ve reminded me…

I’ve reminded myself to make it again as well! I can’t believe it’s been a year since I made it.
