I love seeing every milestone on my blog! It’s like the little engine that could!
Who would have thought that way back in September of 2008 I would be getting comments and so many visitors. When I look back on older posts, I realized that pretty much only my family was reading and commenting for the first few months!
It took me six months to reach 40,000 page views, in which my lovely Tony posted a guest post. Go ahead and read it, I’ll wait! 😀
And now I’ve reached another 100,000 in four months. I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who takes time out of there day to see what I make, see Hannah grow up and share my life with Tony. It really means a lot to me that so many enjoy my little hobby! 😀
So let’s get on with the giveaway loot! My wonderful friend at Cabot Cheese has graciously offered their $60 cheese package! Not only do you get to sample their 50% and 75% reduced fat cheese, you also get a two pound block of their award winning Vermont Cheddar Cheese! 😀
You know how I loves the cheese! What I love about Cabot’s reduced fat cheese is that I don’t feel like I am being cheated – it tastes just as good as the full fat stuff. Please bear in mind that this will ship when the temperatures cool down a bit, so you may need to be patient on this. 😀
But wait, there’s more! I love Eating Well magazine because it uses real ingredients, nothing too fancy, just good clean food. So I will be giving away this cookbook!
And what’s better than one cookbook, but two?! I found this one at my Library and loved that it had simple, straight forward recipes:
But wait . . . there is more! Who wants four jars of my baja fresh salsa??!! I know dozens of you have made it, but if you haven’t yet, now is your chance to get it!
Here is my picture way back from 2008 – I think I’ve learned a couple things about taking photography these last almost two years!
Once canned, it will last up to a year or more. But I doubt it will even get you to the end of summer. Each year I say I am going to can more for the winter, but usually by December I am all out. I’ve been known to grill in December though to make more!
To win, simply leave me a comment. It doesn’t matter what it is. You can leave a comment telling me about your favorite cheese, what your last favorite thing you cooked, or maybe your most requested recipe to make for family gatherings – I’ll leave it up to you! I’ll pick a winner on Monday, July 25. Good luck!
I am tired – I didn’t get home from theB-52’s concert until 11:30 last night. I’ll leave you with a few pics – have a great day!
My son was just diagnosed with Type 1, I love reading how to make good food for him.
Being a Type 1 Diabetic (diagnosed in 2000) myself your blog has been almost a comfort to me. At most times I struggle with Low Blood sugar anxiety and I am trying to get over it! Seeing your blog everyday and the normal things you do day to day is awesome! I have a young daughter (2.5) and I want to be around a long time for her! Just need to get these blood sugars down! Thank you for your great blog!
I’d love to win this for my b-day – I’ll be 30 on July 25th – I just found your blog and have enjoyed catching up on everything that I’ve missed! Thanks for the inspiration – I plan on making 30 my best year EVER!!
I love checking in and getting ideas for meals. Aaaannndd hearing about your workouts pushes me out the door and to the gym. Thank you!
Recently I’ve started reading your blog, and you’ve inspired me to start cooking again (the pictures are awesome). About a month ago, I began my journey to lose 100 lbs, (11 lbs GONE) and these giveaways would be AWESOME.
That’s quite a giveaway! Cabot is the shit – New England represent!
Beth, a cheese AND cookbook giveaway?? Heaven! And salsa, too?? Congrats on your blog views…just shows what a great cook and writer you are. Keep it up!
Cabot cheese is the BEST and your salsa looks like it’d make a perfect addition to the summer nachos I’ve been known to make CONSTANTLY in July/August. Something about the summer just SCREAMS nachos to me…
We have used over 2 lb. of cheese just in recipes THIS WEEK.
Congratulations on all your blog views!

Congrats on all the hits on your blog, that’s awesome! I love all kinds of cheese and cook books. I recently started cooking about two years ago and I really enjoy it!

And what an amazing giveaway – I love all of these things! Cheese, Eating Well, cookbooks AND salsa 😉
Nick and I love making our own salsa, but I’ve never tried canning it. I’m just hoping we have enough tomatoes from our plants this year to make some!
