Can’t wait to get it!” Congrats Beth! I’ve sent you an email. Again, thank you ALL so much for entering and for your support. xoxoxo]
Hiiiii.
So. I know I’m not a huge giveaway person, but I am totally blown away by your support and love and all that jazz lately, especially for Seriously Delish and how you’ve completely changed my life. I want to do, well… SOMETHING for each and every one of you and since I can’t buy you all a cocktail with a hug, I figured a giveaway of my favorite things would have to do.
This giveaway is from ME to YOU. I want to show you how much I appreciate you coming here everyday, the encouragement you’ve given me and your all around virtual fabulousness. You really do complete me, Jerry Maguire style. THANK YOU!
See below on how to enter to win all of these goods!
1. This Rebecca Minkoff Crosby tote. It’s no secret how much I love love love my mac clutch bags and mini macs. And my cupid satchel. I love every bag she makes and am totally drooling over this for fall.
2. Jeni’s ice cream! 4 pints to be exact. This should last you, like… five minutes.
3. A Vitamix blender. I’ve become the biggest hypocrite on the planet because for years I said I’d never buy one and would rather buy shoes. But I took the plunge earlier this year and it was seriously LIFE CHANGING. Talk about the thickest milkshake-like smoothies and the creamiest soups. To die for.
4. One year subscriptions to my favorite foodie magazines: Donna Hay and Delicious. These are my go-to for photography inspiration. LOVE. Nothing else compares in my opinion.
5. A fit bit flex. It’s been close to a year since I’ve gone on and on about my fit bit. I completely adore it – not as a workout tool, but more so as a reminder to live an active lifestyle.
6. Two of my favorite books: the Flavor Bible and Bird by Bird. One of the most frequently asked questions I get is how do I come up with recipes – and one of the answers is the Flavor Bible! If I really want to make something with a certain ingredient, I’ll search it and see what flavors pair the best. And Bird by Bird… well it’s a classic that gets me through life. Pretty much.
7. Ummm…. chocolate? Do I really need to explain this one? This is one of my favorites. I need to share.
8. Gift cards to some of my favorite places: $50 to each. One to Sephora, one to Athleta and one to Starbucks. Because I’m a sucker. (if you don’t like coffee GET THE CROISSANT!)
And lastly – this colorful set of my favorite le pen pens and a moleskin notebook (MY LOVE!). It’s school supply time people!! But really, these pens are the bomb dot com. (sorry.)

This giveaway is open to residents EVERYWHERE! All over the place. If you’re overseas I obviously can’t send you the ice cream, but we will work something else out.
For an extra entry, I would love if you’d preorder a copy of Seriously Delish and leave a second comment saying you did so.

My favourite part of this summer has been having time to relax and spend time with family. :)
Summer started off rough when I got pneumonia and was sick for 6 weeks, but the week after I was better we went camping with friends at the base of Mt. Rainier. It was gorgeous views and great weather – the perfect way to rejuvenate.
Feeling our baby boy move for the first time at the start of the summer (he’s due in Oct)!
Easy- being asked to be godmother to my adorable niece!
My magical moment this summer was spending time relaxing and enjoying time with my sweet husband before school started back up :)
My friend found out August 15th, she is cancer free. At the spur of the moment we went to an improv show ( i’ve never gone in my whole life to one). We laughed so hard. It was a cathartic moment.
My magic moment was watching my one-year-old niece see the fireworks for the first time on the Fourth of July. Her eyes would light up and she would clap at every single one. Melted my heart :)
My best moment from this summer will be tomorrow at around 5pm when I get to meet my best friend’s twin babies for the first time. I am so excited I can’t breathe!
My magic moment of the summer was spending my birthday in Glacier National Park. We were in awe of the glaciers, mountain goats and endless blue sky. Only in Montana! At one of the beautiful clear glacial lakes, we met another group celebrating a birthday! What are the chances? Plus, halfway across the world my nephew (my birthday twin) was celebrating his 2nd birthday. It was so wonderful to think how big this world is and yet how we are all connected in some way.
However if I won this giveaway, THAT would be my summer’s 2nd most magical moment!

Magic moment this summer: hmmmmmmmm. Usually we’re gone for weekends, so i’d say this summer’s magic moments were when we got to stay home and enjoy our city! Biking, hiking, walking around downtown and eating all the food. all. the. food.
I spent an incredible month traveling through Central America and had the time of my life!!

My magic moment from this summer was waking up early getting tea lattes with my man and sitting on the beach watching the surfers. The best part was watching the little kids learn to surf, it was the perfect morning.
My summer moment is such a mushy one and I hate admitting it but after being single for almost 3 years I met someone and we had our first kiss in the rain outside of PNC park after a Pirates win and it was just such a perfect moment… and so Pittsburgh in every way :) can’t beat it…
magic moment was moving into our new home.
I pre-ordered your book from Amazon a few weeks back as well! I can’t wait to dive in and start cooking from it!!!
Visiting the redwood forests in northern California!

Wow! What a totally generous giveaway. My magic moment from the summer was getting to see the 18-month-old twins next door get into the water slide into the kiddie pool. Makes you want to be a kid again.
taking a swim in our family pool of our new home this summer was amazing. neither my husband or i had ever grown up or had friends with a pool (weird) so to be able to enjoy our own with our son was the best!
My magic moment was throwing my sister a baby shower this summer. It’s the first babe on our side of the family (and my sister and I are ridiculously close) so it was really special on a lot of levels.
I can’t wait to see all the posts about your pregnancy as you experience it and your little bunny once he/she arrives! Best of luck in the coming months :)
