Happy Monday everyone!
I know…. Monday is not exactly a favorite anywhere. It’s really such an abused and ornery day, isn’t it? People save everything unpleasant and difficult for Monday…. have you noticed? “I’ll start my diet on Monday.” “I’ll start exercising on Monday.” “I’ll make that doctor’s appointment on Monday.” Then Monday comes, the coffeepot can’t brew fast enough, you’re too tired to exercise, too lethargic to think about eating right and the phone calls never get made.
But this particular Monday is going to be a good one. And all the rest of them in October will be just as fun. Why?
I’m giving away cookbooks. Lots of cookbooks. Some terrific titles, and a few that are a bit obscure, but perfect for someone.
Will it be YOU???
THE DETAILS:
~~Each week in October, starting on Monday, I will put up a post offering cookbooks to give away.
BUT YOU’LL HAVE TO ACT FAST! Each cookbook offer will be up for only FIVE DAYS.
~~At the end of the day on Friday, each week, I’ll close out the current giveaway, choose the winner and notify them quick as a wink.
So in order to be eligible- YOU MUST leave comments on these posts that contain your contact information.
Don’t go through all the work of commenting without that!
~~If you are chosen as the cookbook winner, you will be asked to provide a mailing address so I can send you your book.
If you’re local, I’d be happy to meet up with you to hand you your winning cookbook in person!
Unfortunately, given the expense of mailing books, I have to limit these giveaways to US residents only.
So let’s get this party rolling, shall we?? For our first Monday fun day, I’m giving away TWO cookbooks, perfect for this time of year.
THE FRESH GIRL’S GUIDE TO EASY CANNING AND PRESERVING BY ANA MICKA
There is still some time to get your canning on! This simple and easy to follow guide will help you take the mystery and fear out of preserving the bounty of our harvest. It includes an easy-to-follow DVD and contains an enormous wealth of information from gardening basics, to choosing your produce to step-by-step instructions on the age-old art of preservation. This book is brand new and the DVD is in perfect condition.
THANKSGIVING 101 BY RICK RODGERS

I’m always up for new cookbooks of ANY kind. I’m an avid canner so new recipes and ideas are welcome, but the Thanksgiving book could help put a new twist on old favorites too! Either way – thank you for the opportunity!
I started following you on Twitter- this is me: https://twitter.com/SweetSavoring
I’ve become a fan on Facebook, both through my personal page and my Sweet and Savoring page!
Yay, I love contests! I’m hoping to win the Guide to Easy Canning and Preserving, since my husband and I just started a garden this year in our yard and would love to be able to enjoy our produce throughout the year. Plus my grandmother used to make jams and all sorts of canned goods, so it’d be nice to do those things and remember her 🙂
The canning and preserving one, for sure! That’s something I’ve been wanting to try and get into but have so far lacked the courage to do so. That book might give me the confidence and knowledge I need to start!
This is the first year I’ve attempted canning and preserving, maybe a book would help?
I also follow you on Twitter(@IcaJell)….

Can I say both? Mr. Goat has been canning and we are thinking about doing thanksgiving for the first time ever. But probably the canning one.

And I’m now following you on Twitter. I picked up on you from a retweet by @artiaanbreadin5 – I’m @jjmcgaffey .
They both sound great, but I’d be more likely to use the canning one. I do some and know there’s more to learn…
What a neat idea! Thank you!

The canning and preserving book for sure!! @sweetnsnazzy gave me my first lesson. My fear is going away, but I would LOVE this book for reinforcement! What a great giveaway. Thank you for making Monday brighter 🙂
I love canning so that is the one I would choose – but the Thanksgiving cookbook I could live with too! 🙂 jenhartin at optonline dot net
