***********************************


Shut the front door. We made it to 400 Facebook fans!

When we started this a little over a year ago we had no idea that so many people would be following us on Facebook and enjoying our recipes. Thank you to each and every one of you for helping us get here! We have lots more fun stuff coming up, so stay tuned!

 

To celebrate this milestone, we're giving away a $25 gift card to ...

 

Because honestly...who doesn't love Target? No seriously...who doesn't love Target?

Our families always know that if we aren't at home, we are at Target. We can't go a week without heading here for our fave groceries, baking supplies, clothes, shoes, makeup..... uh, I'll stop. You can get pretty much anything at Target! It's our home away from home!

 

We've decided that when the zombie apocalypse happens we want to be stuck in Target. We would have everything we need. Right?!

You can get some cute stuff, like this eclectic fruit bowl:

Or this donut maker...because you know you want one:

 

 

Or, you know...just get something for yourself:

 

 

 

Here's what you need to do to enter:

 

1. Make sure you "like" us on Facebook. Then leave a comment on the blog letting us know your favorite recipe from our site OR a recipe you'd like to see us make. Comments on facebook will not count.

 

That's it!

 

The giveaway is open until Wednesday, November 7 at 8pm PST.

**This giveaway is not sponsored by Target, just our love for it. And you!

We have been given a fun opportunity from Groopdealz.com to offer a giveaway for our readers! How exciting, right?

I looooove Groopdealz. I have bought way too much from their sight, from necklaces to vinyl decals to hair bands. They always have lots of fun things to purchase at amazing discounts! It's super easy too, just register on their site for free and you're in! If you haven't heard of Groopdealz or seen their site, you definitely are missing out. You need to do this now! Trust me!

So when we got an email about partnering with Groopdealz for this giveaway, I was slightly skeptical (our little ol' blog with awesome Groopdealz?!) but super excited too! I have been eyeing this bib necklace too. It's super trendy right now and comes in lots of colors (see picture above) so you can choose which one you like best.

This is the deal: Groopdealz is giving ONE reader a FREE bib necklace! This is all you have to do-

We Heart Rachael Ray Giveaway

There are a lot of celebrity (and non-celebrity) chefs that we love. Giada, Ina, Emeril, Curtis...well, let's be honest, Curtis could cook Kraft Mac and Cheese and we'd still love him.

 

Sigh...

Wow. Sorry.

Anyway, we also love us some Rachael. Seriously, is there anything this girl can't do? Ok, besides bake. She's the first to admit she's not one to bake up a batch of cookies. Fine by me. She's still pretty amazing. And super cute...don't you just want to eat her up?!

And, she loves the color orange. Orange is just fun. And bubbly. Just like Rachael.

Rachael is known for several things, but the first things that come to our head are:

EVOO (extra virgin olive oil for those of you not on the down low)

and

burgers. Big huge delicious burgers.

 

So...here's the deal. Comment below and tell us your favorite chef, celebrity or otherwise. Be honest. We don't care if it's your mom, your dad, or the super cute hottie that you watch on mute because he's just fun to stare at (coughCURTIScough).

For a second entry, make sure you "like" us (or love us, whatever) on Facebook AND share about our giveway on your Facebook page. Come back here and let us know you did that, too.

Easy peasy..... so, what might you be winning?

Ready??????????????

1. Rachael Ray's olive oil dispenser. In orange, of course. Fun, right?  

 

2. Rachael Ray's NEW cookbook, "The Book of Burger". So new, in fact, that it isn't released yet. But it will be just in time for you to win it!

Not sure we could fit our mouths around that burger, but we'd sure try!

Giveaway starts right away and the winner will be announced on our blog on Monday, June 11 at 8pm Pacific Standard Time.

Thank you again!!!

Blogging For Fishes- A Giveaway

Let me start at the beginning.


A couple of months ago, Ali at Lemon Poppy emailed us and asked if we would be willing to contribute a couple of recipes for a cookbook she was putting together to help out a family. She had heard the story of the Fish family, who have two daughters with a rare gene disorder called Leaky SCID's (Severe Combined Immune Deficiency). Ali was so moved by their story that she decided to reach out to over 40 of her fellow food bloggers to help create a cookbook whose proceeds would help with the huge medical bills this family has incurred.



After I saw this video about little Alice and Natalie and their amazing family, my heart broke. As a mother, I couldn't imagine going through what this family has gone through. And I'd be lying if I didn't say this video makes me a little weepy every time I see it. You can learn more about the Fish family here.

This cookbook is really good too! There are so many amazing bloggers out there that have helped this cookbook come to life and their food is excellent, I promise! I can't wait to make some of the yummy recipes in here. Plus, two of those recipes are Girls in Aprons recipes, so you know they have to be good :)

The cookbooks are in the same format as Lemon Poppy's other books, but this one is huge! Each recipe has a full color picture and is wire bound in laminated 3x5 cards.

The cookbook is offered in print (for $14.99) or ebook (for $5.99) that can be downloaded to your computer, iPad or Kindle. And 100% of the ebook proceeds go directly to the Fish family!

Go here to purchase the cookbook for yourself! I know that we can help this family out and we here at Girls in Aprons are so honored to be apart of this cookbook!

Girls in Aprons is also giving away one cookbook to one of you! This is a beautiful book and you will love all the amazing, diverse recipes inside! All you have to do is leave a comment on this blog post. THAT'S IT!! One comment per person.

We will draw a winner next Thursday at 8pm PST. Good luck!

We will hopefully have more giveaways in the future, and we will always have yummy recipes for you. Coming up we have Christmas cookie plate ideas, Christmas teacher ideas, and fun appetizers for your holiday parties!

200 Fan GIVEAWAY!!!

Thank you to our 200+ fans! We promised a great giveaway when we reached 200 fans, and we are prepared to deliver! We have had a great three months since we started this blog and we have had so much fun sharing our favorite recipes with you! We hope you have found some fabulous dishes to share with your friends and family and we are looking forward to sharing more with you!

Our giveaway is a DOUBLE giveaway, meaning two fans will win! That increases your odds, right?
The first giveaway is from Lemon Poppy. She has graciously sent us her set of five cookbooks. FIVE! One lucky fan is going to win them all! I tried to smuggle the "When Life Gives You a Chocolate Craving" but I had to give it back. So sad! Because life (or my kids) always give me a chocolate craving! Check out her website - she has amazing recipes and ideas - and her posts will make you laugh (it's a bonus!)

The second giveaway is from Wendy Paul, author of 101 Gourmet Cupcakes, Cookies, and Cake Bites. (I think those are the main food groups in my daily diet!). She was so nice to send us her cookbook for our giveaway, and although it pains me, we are going to give it away - to one of you!! Also, check out her website - she has amazing recipes for all sorts of cookies (including a new double chocolate stuffed peppermint cookie! Yum!), cupcakes, and other goodies! You can also see what other cookbooks she has available!

The rules for the giveaway are simple:

IF YOU ARE A FACEBOOK FAN YOU ARE ALREADY ENTERED!! You need to do nothing but sit back, relax, and hope we call your name!

IF YOU FOLLOW OUR BLOG YOU ARE ALREADY ENTERED!! Again, relax and eat some lemon blossoms, you may be our lucky winner!

IF YOU HAVE SHARED OUR FACEBOOK PAGE IN THE PAST YOU ARE ALREADY ENTERED!! We are able to see who has shared any of our posts!

If you want EXTRA entries - you can get those too! It's really very simple:

You will get ONE extra entry for EACH of the following (so if you do everything mentioned below you can get a total of FOUR more entries!):

*Share this giveaway on your own Facebook page. Leave a comment on this post saying you shared!

*"Like" Lemon Poppy on Facebook (click HERE for her Facebook page!). Leave another comment on this post saying you Liked her!

*"Like" Wendy Paul, author of 101 Gourmet Cupcakes, Cookies, & Cake Bites on Facebook (click HERE for her Facebook page). Then leave ANOTHER comment on this post saying you Liked her.

*Follow our blog by going to the right side bar labeled "Foodie Friends" and login or signup (it's super easy!) Then leave yet ANOTHER comment saying you follow.

You will need to leave separate comments for each one so that you can get the extra entries. So if you did all four options above, you would leave four separate comments. It works better when we use random.org to pick our winner. Just trust me, okay? I would never steer you wrong!

The contest will end a week from today - Sunday the 11th at 8pm PST. At that time we will pick two winners via random.org. Good luck! And keep cooking!!
