Halloween Giveaway

By October 20, 2016October 27th, 201694 Comments


So this is fun. For those of you whoโ€™ve picked up a copy of my book, a) THANK YOU and b) you mightโ€™ve ogled the Franks-n-Beans recipe which we have been known to scare up for our Halloween launch party (alongside a healthy selection of bourbon, of course). ย In honor of the ritual and the season, longtime partner Applegate, maker of some of the best franks out there, has agreed to partake in a little giveaway contest. Comment below and tell me what youโ€™ve made from the book (or hope to make from the book soon) to be eligible to win enough franks to throw a legit Halloween party and then some. One winner will be chosen and will winย two packs of Applegateโ€™sย all-natural hot dogsย (your choice), a copy of How to Celebrate Everything (if you already own, I will send to a friend), along with some freebie coupons and good old-fashioned Applegate swag. Contest ends on Sunday, October 23, 8:00 PM ET. Good luck! Update: The winner has been notified. Thanks to everyone for playing.

    a friend of mine recommended your book because i was so frustrated making two meals every night-one for my kids and one for my husband and me. anyway, i have been so happy and my family too, with the meals i have made. one of our favorites is the turkey chili. my family adores chili, but in the past i have made a chili that took me about 2.5 hours with all the chopping and cooking. it was quite tasty, but i was tired of the lengthy preparation. then i made your turkey chili and VOILA! not only was it super easy to throw together, but it was DELICIOUS! thank you, thank you, thank you for making my life as a mama of 2 a whole lot easier and tasty for all ๐Ÿ™‚

    Iโ€™m looking forward actually to the franks and beans on Halloween. I have a two year old. I also wrote down a lot of quotes for my bullet journal to keep me thinking about celebrating the daily, small stuff. I just love this book.

    I love the book! I have made some pickled veggies. Iโ€™m planning to make the cold brew coffee. Just bought at french press!

    Love, love LOVE Applegate and DALS! I already have the first two books and would be so excited to get the third. Plus, I have an absolute hot dog FIEND living in my house, so the dogs would be most appreciated.
    Happy Halloween yโ€™all!

    My 13 year old son loves franks and beans. Iโ€™d love the book to make that and tons of other recipes youโ€™ve created!

  • Avatar Mairen says:

    I am a lady who loves pie, and berries. Therefore, what isnโ€™t to like about triple berry pie??

    we made the yeah its Wednesday cake (on Sunday. We are rebels.)!

  • Avatar Isa Blasio says:

    Your popovers are on my food project list, and your spicy shrimp tacos are on my dinner mixup list. Donโ€™t know why but popovers always seemed so daunting Iโ€™m glad you included them!

  • Avatar Liss says:

    Rosaโ€™s Mud Cake of course, and the franks and beans is on our list for Monday. Paired with cider and spiced rum for the grownups ๐Ÿ™‚

    pigs in a blanket for my sonโ€™s birthday party ๐Ÿ™‚

    I have your first cook book, but donโ€™t have this one yet. I just took a peek at the index, and apple cinnamon fritters sound so perfect for the lovely fall weather weโ€™re starting to have in Tennessee right now!

  • Avatar Randee Donovan says:

    I didnโ€™t get the book YET, but I know what weโ€™re having for dinner Friday night- Franks-n-Beans with franks from our local butcher shop that makes some goooood stuff!
