ReplyDeleteMy favorite cookbook is The Bread Bible. Thanks for the giveaway!
I loved the birdie!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite cook book is "home cooking" by Laurie Colwin!

Hi, I love your embroidery! So pretty! My favorite cookbook right now is Artisan Bread in five minutes a day. Pretty much changed my life. I'm also getting a lot of use out of Veganomicon. We tried a quinoa pineapple stir fry that was quite delish.
ReplyDeleteThey're both great but I think I'd go with the grey ruffle scarf. I don't cook a lot but my 2 most used cookbooks are a family reunion collection one and the Better Homes and Gardens main one.
ReplyDeleteI love the little birdie! I'd hang that on my wall for sure. Favorite cookbook? Anything by Isa Chandra-Moskovitz, though my favorite is the vegan brunch. yum yum yum!
ReplyDeleteI love love love love that birdie so much! My fav cookbook is the river cottage cook book.

Hello!!!! I left my comments off last time - completely understand! I'd love the bird applique, which would be framed in my craft room. Favourite cookbook - Nigella Lawson's Domestic goddess (decadent!). Thanks for the fab giveaway!
ReplyDeleteOh brother, I guess I'd have to go with the scarf. They are both so cute! Love the pioneer woman cook book. A quick veggie recipe...cube sweet potatoes, toss in a glass dish with some butter, cinnamon, a bit of brown sugar (just a hair) and some cayenne pepper...roast for an hour or so! Sweet and spicey!
ReplyDeleteCute! I love the wall art! I can't offer a name of a cookbook off the top of my head so I'll give you my favorite side dish:
ReplyDeletebrown rice with spinach and feta (you can skip the feta if you don't eat dairy - it's still awesome).
Cook your brown rice as usual (I buy frozen and cook it in 3 minutes in the microwave)
In a skillet, brown some chopped onion. Add some oregano, (salt if you want) and lemon juice. Then wilt some spinach (don't overdo it!). You could also add sun dried tomatoes or some mushrooms if you want. Just add them before the spinach.
Add that mixture to your brown rice and stir in the optional feta.
Thanks for the chance!

ReplyDeleteThat birdie is DIVINE! My fav cookbook is Apples for Jam - it's fab!
ReplyDeleteOh I like the birdie! My favorite cookbook is pretty boring - The Better Home & Gardens Cookbook. It's got all the basics and the pies are amazing!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the Bird!! And the bookmark! Here's a recipe I just made tonight while entering giveaways! Delicious:
ReplyDeleteneed:
baking dish-I used a 10 inch square one, buttered the bottom and sides.
pot for cooking pasta of sorts
~~~ingredients~~~
-can of tomato sauce-15 oz
-can of tomato paste-small
-half an onion-chopped
-3-5 cloves garlic(depends on your taste) pressed or thinly sliced
-salt and pepper to taste(sauce)
-fresh or dried thyme- about a teaspoon or so
Combine tomato sauce and paste in buttered baking dish. Then stir in all the other ingredients listed above.
veggies:
-yellow squash(small)-thinly sliced
-zucchini(small)-thinly sliced
-red pepper(medium)- thinly sliced & chopped
make rows of the veggies, layering them at a slight angle-squash, zucchini, peppers(2-3), squash, zucchini, peppers, etc...until the top of all the sauce is covered. Push the veggies down a bit so they are half in the sauce, half out.
Sprinkle with more thyme(fresh or dried), salt and pepper to taste.
bake at 350 for 30-50 minutes-depending on how crunchy you want your veggies. they should be tender, but not burnt!
-box of pasta
while this is baking, boil your water for pasta.
Serve over pasta with freshly grated fontina cheese(or parmesan, asiago, mozzarella, etc)
It's adapted from a recipe here: http://smittenkitchen.com/2007/07/rat-a-too-ee-for-you-ee/

ReplyDeleteThe scarf looks awesome. I have a cooking hubby - aren't I lucky?? I gave him The All American Dessert Book by Nancy Baggett. Awesome decadent recipes. The caramels are a holiday fave here.
ReplyDeleteI love both! But I think I'd pick the bird & tree embroidery. My favorite cook book is one our church put together with recipes from the members of the church.

ReplyDeleteAha! I came back to check whether I could comment after I had tried yesterday.
ReplyDeleteI love the little bird.
My favourite cookbook, although I love all of Jamie's, Nigella's and, of course, good old Delia's, is a chinese cookery one by Ching-He Huan. We use it lots and it is very stained with rice wine and soy sauce!!
thetialys@gmail.com
Love the bird.

Oh I love the scarf! And my current fave cook book is Jamie Oliver's 30 minute meals. :)
ReplyDeleteI love your little bird picture.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite cook book is called "The Edmonds Cookbook". It's a staple in New Zealand and is now in something like its 40th edition. I think every child is given one when they leave home and go flatting.
Definitely the tree birdie wall art! It's precious!
ReplyDeletebrady(dot)kristen(at)ymail(dot)com
Is a favorite food blog a good replacement for a favorite cookbook? If so,
http://www.remedialeating.com/
I absolutely love the birdie wall art {swoon!}
ReplyDeleteI have a couple of cookbooks, but tend to gravitate towards "Best Summer Weekends Cookbook" by Jane Rodmell. It's a year-round winner in my house and my signature salad was from this book. An absolute winner :)

The birdie, although I really can't decide. That scarf looks SO soft!
ReplyDeleteThe MOMYS (Mother Of Many Young Siblings) is my fave, followed by the Brady Bunch cookbook! LOL!
I love the bird and tree prize. Here is the recipe I love - it is really good hot, or cold and is super with plum sauce or any sauce that you like. Hope you like it, we all do in our house.
ReplyDeletehttp://womansday.ninemsn.com.au/food/readersrecipes/994131/vegetarian-sausage-puffs
Oh wow - I love your art - this would be amazing on my wall :) Such a cute birdie. I have lots of fav cookbooks but teh Best of Bridge 'The Rest if teh Best ' is a good one as it take the best receipes from all their other cookbooks and put them in 2 volumes. I think they are a group of Canadian or American women who made lot sof cookbooks and were super popular in the 80's. My mom had every single one and wrote notes on each recipe she tried and she tried nearly all of them!
ReplyDeleteI love the birdie!!
ReplyDeleteAnd give this recipe a try: http://allrecipes.com.au/recipe/10329/my-favourite-colourful-brown-rice-salad-recipe.aspx
my fave cookbook is a local cookbook that I have seen at used book stores in other places called the pioneers cookbook. done by the telephone pioneers of america mississsippi and louisiana chapters! My mom was one and before Katrina I had 3 or 4 years worth. Since I lost those I replaced it with Bell's Best which is a compilation! If you love Louisiana and southern food look for then cause they are GREAT!!!! Thanks for a great giveaway! I would love either prize!
ReplyDeletelove both giveaways, but the scarf looks very comfy! my fav recipe book if I must name only one would be Fix It and Forget It (crockpot recipes only---more time to quilt!)
ReplyDeleteThe embroidered wall art is adorable. The Pillsbury Cookbook 3 ring edition from the early 90s. It's taped and tattered from much use - it's still my go to cookbook even with newer ones in the house.
ReplyDeleteHow cute....loving the birdie - so adorable.
ReplyDeleteand I love Taste of Home cookbooks...or if you need to check online quick, allrecipes.com.
Thanks for a chance to win.
Love the birdie tree! My favorite cookbook is the computer! I just google the ingredients I want to use and see what pops up. One of my favorite veg. dishes is to roast whatever veggies I have on hand with olive oil, salt and ground pepper! So good! irw@hughes.net
ReplyDeleteI love the bird! So cute! I've recently been obsessed with Mark Bittman's Vegetarian cookbook--especially the soups and breads. Yum!
ReplyDeleteYour birdie is so cute. I'd love to put it on my wall! My most used standby is the Betty Crocker cookbook. I've learned a lot from it.
ReplyDeleteOmigosh, I LOVE the little birdy and tree...so whimsical. Would be very cute in my bedroom.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the chance to win.

What I find myself going to the most for recipes isn't really a book, but magazines. I love and collect Country, Reminisce, Taste of Home and LOVE the recipes they have. Simple, delicious, home-cooked goodness.

Love the bird! My favorite super-simple veggie appetizer, Veggie Pizza, goes like this:
ReplyDelete1. Unroll 2 tubes of crescent rolls into a 9x13 pan and bake according to decorations.
2. In a bowl combine 2 packages of cream cheese with 1 c. mayo and a packet of DRY Italian or Ranch dressing mix. Spread over the cooled crescent rolls.
3. Very finely chop fresh, raw veggies such as carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, etc. Spread chopped veggies over cream cheese.
4. Sprinkle with shredded cheese over the veggies.
5. Chill in fridge for an hour, cut into squares, and you're done.
Hi! I would love the scarf or the second prize, but that scarf is so cute! I like the Pioneer Woman Ree Drummond, but recently I have just used Pinterest as my cookbook! ;-) Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteThe little birdie is so cute, I would love that! My fav cookbook is the one that I use the most - my good old Better Homes and Gardens with the red check cover. I've had it since college and still refer to it for basic cooking techniques.
ReplyDeleteI would love the ruffle scarf. So pretty. My favorite cookbook is Laurels Kitchen. It is loaded with vegetarian dishes. My favorite spagitti sauce comes from here. The page in the book is splattered from years of use.
ReplyDeletethanks, kathy shayshap @ cox dot net
My favorite way to get recipes is the Good Eats books by Alton Brown - but usually after I've watched the episode! My favorite of his recipes that include veggies is his Glazed Carrots; I serve them at Thanksgiving every year now! (http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/glazed-carrots-recipe/index.html)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!

I want the birdie!
ReplyDeleteAnd my favorite "cook book" is allrecipes.com or calling my mom. Ha ha. I don't have an actual book I use!
peachstateme (at) hotmail (dot) com
Your birdie tree is just darling! My favorite cookbook hands down is Mastering the Art of French Cooking, but I use my Betty Crocker cookbook the most. I've been through two copies!
ReplyDeleteI like the bird tree picture!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite cook book is the "More with Less" cookbook. An oldie but goodie.
beth(dot)sebastian(at)gmail(dot)com
Oh my gosh! I LOVE that little birdie!!! So sweet!
ReplyDeleteMy current favorite cook book is "Make It Paleo".
Thanks!
maria (at) dirtundermynails (d0t) com
I love your little bird picture!! My favorite cook book is my good old Betty Crocker cookbook. I do find tons of fabulous recipes at epicurious.com also.
ReplyDeleteThe bird tree is really lovely! (Well, so is the scarf really, but I'm more likely to make use of the wall art.)
ReplyDeleteMy favourite cookbook... I think it changes all the time. I've been buying a lot of vegan cookbooks lately, but none of them have really sparked that kind of 'favourite' idea in my head. My favourite cookbook might be Jack Bishop's A Year in a Vegetarian Kitchen, though he uses a lot more dairy and eggs than I'd like. I've tried quite a few things from it, though, and liked pretty much all of them. (I just can't get behind anything he's done with coconut milk, though. I don't know what it is, but somehow I find the flavours really insipid and dull when he leans too heavily on coconut milk.)

I love the scarf! Thanks for the giveaway! Amy @ gasudimack(at)sbcglobal(dot)net
ReplyDeleteI love the scarf! Amy @ gasudimack(at)sbcglobal(dot)net
ReplyDeleteI would definitely take either of them, although the birdie would be my first choice. I think my favorite cookbook is a classic: The Taste of Home. So many great recipes, and some funny things in the older ones. For example, the one I has has a step by step, hand-illustrated section on how to skin a squirrel. -grin- Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeletekessilari(at)gmail(dot)com
The birdie is adorable. My favorite cookbook is the original Betty Crocker cookbook.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely giveaway. I'm a scarf girl so scarf all the way please! My favourite veggie recipe is super easy - saute some onions in oil, add black beans, some salsa, some tomato sauce, some frozen corn and a tablespoon of apricot jam. Serve over rice. If you're in the mood for chicken, you can saute some with the onions. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteBirdie!
ReplyDeleteTaco soup (most delicious twist yet, on the classic weight watchers meal)
crock pot:
Can of rotel
Can of creamed corn
Can off black beans
Can of white corn
Can of diced tomatoes (jalapeno style)
Dry pack ranch, dry pack taco seasoning
Cook until melded (endlessly on low is fine), serve with sour cream and tortilla chips and green tobacco sauce or cholula..
I would be happy with either. My favourite cook book is the little one my mum made me when I moved out of home with a few essential "Mum's recipe" Basics. It is in a little brag book photo album so I can just slip more in as I get them from her over the years.
ReplyDeleteI love the birdie tree! and I don't have a favorite cookbook (much to my husbands dismay!) mjalfano19@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI love the bird embroidery. I don't have a favorite cookbook because I find most of my recipes online. My favorite vegetable recipe is called a summer vegetable tian; I'm not sure what that means exactly.
ReplyDelete1 tbsp olive oil
1 medium yellow onion(I used a sweet onion)
1 tsp minced garlic
1 medium zucchini
1 medium yellow squash
1 medium potato
1 medium tomato
1 tsp dried thyme
salt and pepper to taste
1 cup shredded Italian cheese(It also tastes good with cheddar)
-preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. finely dice the onion. saute both in a skillet with olive oil until softened(about 10 minutes).
-while the onion and the garlic are sauteing, thinly slice the rest of the vegetables.
-spray the inside of an 8x8 square or round baking dish with nonstick spray. spread the onions and garlic in the bottom of the baking dish. place the sliced vegetables in the dish, vertically in an alternating pattern. sprinkle with salt, pepper, and thyme.
-cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. remove the foil, top with cheese and bake for another 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is golden brown.
My family loves this dish; my 12 year old brother asked me to make this for his birthday. I also add 1 medium eggplant because its my moms favorite. Thanks for the giveaway!
Gorgeous giveaway. I would love the little embroidery please. My favourite cookbook is the Kitchen Diaries by Nigel Slater. It is a diary and recipes of everything he ate for a year in season, great for getting ideas.

My favorite cookbook is the The Mounders Cookbook 1985ish version (a fundraiser cookbook)and Recipes from the Apple Tree-a fundraiser cookbook put out by one of my residents at the nursing home with recipes from her restuarant that she ran by herself until her 90's- I also love my taste of home yearly books
ReplyDeleteSwweeeet birdie! One of my fave cookbooks is Barefoot Contessa "How Easy is That?"
ReplyDeleteecisley(at)comcast(dot)net
My go to cookbook is the Fanny Farmer...it was my husband's grandmother's and then mother's and was passed on to our family when we got married. It is full of handwritten notes. My families favorite veggie recipe is for roasted asparagus. Put the asparagus on a cooking sheet with EVOO and some sea salt. Stick in a 450 oven let cook about 10 minutes and when they come out sprinkle with parm. cheese.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting such a fun giveaway!
Love the scarf!! As for cookbooks, I love any of the Barefoot Contessa books. The recipes always turn out well.
ReplyDeleteThe scar if lovely! I don't usually use cookbooks, preferring to go to Allrecipes.com and get ideas and look at the reviews there!
ReplyDeleteI love the little birdie! My go to cookbook is the Betty Crocker cookbook my mom gave me for high school graduation. It's a great go to for HOW to cook so may things and for what cooking terms mean.
ReplyDeleteI would love to win the birdie tree embriodery - so beautiful :-)
ReplyDeleteMy favourite cook book is probably "Cook with Jamie" great for beginners & there is a fantastic chocolate brownie reciepe in there that I adore.
My favorite cookbook is an old one called More-with-less. It's got a lot of old-school whole food recipes.
ReplyDeleteI truly, truly like both. I think I would choose the scarf, but I'd be thrilled with either (I loooooooove tree art)
Love the Birds!!! So unique and would be great in my kitchen.I'm a backyardigal. We LOVE Caprese Bites especially this time of year when evrything is fresh. Cut a cherry tomatoe in half and put a cube of fresh mozzarella in between, Secure with toothpick and fresh basil leaf on top. Mix a little balsamic vinegar together with olive oil, salt and pepper. Drizzle over. OM Goodness. Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteSheilavsims@hotmail.com
I love the scarf!! My favourite cookbook, somewhat embarrassingly, is the Betty Crocker Cookbook. It covers all the basics and I reference it more than any of my other ones.
ReplyDeleteI currently have a small obsession with birds,so my choice is the birdie tree. My favourite cookbook is the one my grandmother passed along to me. The cover is torn, the pages worn, notes along the borders-so good.

I love the wall art - beautiful!! My favorite cookbooks are the ones put out by church ladies. They always have "real" recipes that my family would actually eat. Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteOh my, the birdie is my choice. It would be so very perfect in my kitchen, near the little tile with the sentiment "Anything for a quiet life". Since we are in the kitchen, let's move on to the cookbook question. Right now my favorite is Lion House Cakes and Cupcakes. A great mixture of cakes that are easy to make but taste richer than that, and more complicated cakes that are worth the effort.
ReplyDeleteI have a wonderful recipe for vegetarian cous cous which is too long to put into this comment box, and another for thai pasta which is absolutely delicious and quite simple. If you'd like either recipe, please just drop me an email and I'll be happy to send you either or both. Cheers!

I love the birdie applique. My favorite veggie recipe is Black Bean & Quinoa Salad. Saute onion & garlic, add quinoa and cook in veg broth. Add can black beans & cup of frozen corn.

ReplyDeleteI have discovered so many wonderful blogs!
Well, they are all awesome but I would really love that appliqué! - I'd frame it. :) My favorite cookbook is Clotilde Dousilier's Chocolate and Zucchini cookbook. My copy is literally falling apart at the seems. My favorite veggie recipe is actually in this book- sautéed zucchini and herbs de provence backed over a polenta tart. It is delicious! Also- she has a recipe for a zucchini chocolate cake- that should count, right? :)

ReplyDeleteI like roasted potatoes. Slice them lengthwise into wedges and toss with olive oil and your choice of seasonings. Bake at 375 for 45 minutes or until tender inside and crispy outside.
The bird is awesome! I love its sketchiness. I guess my favourite cookbook would be In the Sweet Kitchen by Regan Daley. There is a recipe in there for Maple Pecan Buttons (does that count as veggie?) that are so melt in your mouth delicious.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, nice blog. Just found you through Lynda's FB. I haven't seen you in forever. You probably dont even remember me. (It really has been forever).
