Simple.
Well, that and being able to cook! Heh.
Oh, wait...make that cook and eat.
Thankfulness, cooking and eating: the pilgrims knew what was important!
And you, like me, are probably insanely busy this week!
Which means, this is a perfect time for a GIVEAWAY ON MY BLOG!!
I have a plain and simple, shiny new hardcover AMISH COOKBOOK to give away to one of you, my blog readers, whom I am very thankful for!
The binding is made so that it lays open nicely...which I love.
I know it will come in handy for your Christmas baking, the Amish can bake and many of their recipes are for a crowd. I bought this at a tiny Amish store up north in a small town where a bunch of my extended family lives.
I love visiting the store (lit with gas lanterns and skylights!) and browsing through their choices of cookbooks, this one was the very best.
From "AMISH COOKING", you will enjoy new recipes for things like Angel Gingerbread and Burnt Sugar or SHOOFLY cake! All intriguing, right?
In addition to hundreds of just plain good recipes, (even a section on using leftovers!) there are sections on breads, drinks for a crowd (in case you have a barn raising!) ice cream, homemade candies, canning and preserving, the garden, child care, sewing, poems and inspiration!
They've packed a lot into this little hardcover book. I like that there are plenty of spaces in the margins for us to make notes in...which I tend to do!
And in my usual fashion, I don't have a lot of strings attached to my giveaways, I just ask that you make sure if you enter, that I have your email address to contact you if you win!
All I'm asking that you leave five things in your comment that you are thankful for.
Simple, right?
I will draw for the winner on Monday of next week, which is November 29!
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
AND... here's to LEFTOVERS!
(One of the best parts of cooking for Thanksgiving!)
XOXO

Oh, I love Amish books, I found out about them on a rainy weekend up N. last fall, and then our church library has many too, so I've read a lot of them this year, can't get enough of them. Cookbook sounds great, I could never be Amish though, they eat too many sweets, I could never gracefully handle that, but you can hide it pretty well under their dresses! I'm thankful for: My salvation, my family, my church, our jobs, God's provision of our needs djjhmdhinds@juno.com Julie Hinds

2. My husband who loves me in spite of it all!
3. Work for all of our family.

Hi, I am thankful for my precious children, my health, that I have never known hunger (except for dieting :) ), a roof over my head (though it often leaks- smile), and to be needed. Thank you! Angela at angelastuff@gmail.com
Im late to the party but I love Amish cooking. This would be a nice addition to my cookbook stash.
I did a daily journal of things I was thankful for this month so I will post a few of those things here:
1. Dirty dishes- I am thankful for those even tho I hate doing them cuz that means we are blessed to have enough to eat.
2. My sturdy new house- I am thnakful to have found it, its strong in the wild windy storms here, no windows rattling or house shaking.
3. My Fireplace- Im thankful for it because its gas and warms this house better than anything. With hot soup and a warm fire we are warm inside and out.
4. Love- I am thankful Ive found love and have love and even am able to love. I cannot imagine life without it.
5. Friends and family both online and not. - Life is not good when your alone and I have been. I am thankful for those around me.
I'm thankful for:

My Dear Hubby,

A roof over our Heads:)
