* PW cookbook christmas contest …
Are you ready for a super duper surprise? Because for almost 1 whole year now …
* you have been faithful in supporting our little blog!
* you have endured reading things you never needed or wanted to know and we are still friends!
* you have laughed at me and cried with me!
* some of you have even been brave enough to comment!
For all of those reasons and way too many more to name … I want to give you a present. I want to give all of you a present but as we have established, unfortnately for you, this is a po folks blog and I cannot be as generous as I would like. Thus, one of you will be getting a very special present. You can rub it in the noses of all of the rest of our readers or you can graciously take your loot and tell everyone else how incredibly guilty you feel about being the sole winner. It’s up to you … I am just going to sit back and watch.
This prize is being provided by my favorite little brother in the world. While standing in line at the PW cookbook signing the other night, he came up with an idea. I like his idea’s the majority of the time and I am really excited about this one in particular. He purchased and asked Ree to autograph an additional cookbook, she obliged. So in his possession is one brand spanking new, personally autographed PW cookbook just waiting to make it’s way in to your grubby little paws kitchen. If you are a first time visitor here and have no clue who PW is, you should do yourself and your family a huge favor and go check out her blog. Her recipes are to die for, my family will vouch for that.
So how does this contest work? Because I want you to have every opportunity in the world to win and I want to share (not my book but one like it) … there will be several ways to “get your name in the hat” more than once. Here they are:
#1. leave a comment at the bottom of this post. this will get you 1 entry.
#2. go to PW’s site, come back to our blog and tell me the one thing you like about her blog the most. this will get you 1 entry.
#3. post a comment on your facebook page about the contest on our blog, copy and paste your post in the comment box here. that will get you 1 entry. If you are tech. savvy and add a link back to the blog from your facebook page, that will get you an additional entry, just be sure that you cut and paste the link back in the comment box.
#4. if you have your own blog, post about the contest and post a link to your blog in the comment box here. that will get you 1 entry.
#5. have your friends, family members or enemies leave a comment here on this post simply saying they want you to win. (eg: I would ask Richard to leave a comment saying “I want melinda to win”) you can use facebook, text, email, your phone or send smoke signals to your buddies to get them to enter your name as many times as possible. I don’t care how your name gets in the comment box as long as you aren’t the one to enter it other than the specified ways to enter. The number of entries you get from this one is up to you and your partners in crime. You will get 1 entry per person (other than yourself) who leaves your name in the comment box. (they can also enter themselves by using any of the options available).
If you do any or all of the above, who knows how many entries you may end up with! I’m excited to see if y’all participate. If the rules aren’t clear, feel free to ask me and I will try to help as much as possible.
For every time your name is entered … your chances of winning will increase. (duh)! I am not benefitting from this contest in any way shape or form, other than seeing how creative, fun and resourceful you all can be. The Pioneer Woman has no clue I am on the face of this earth, although I am sure we would be quick buds if we ever met!
Drum roll please … below is a picture of the actual book that the winner will receive. I hope it’s you who will be enjoying!
You will have until Tuesday night, December 15th, at 9:00 pm Eastern Standard time to have all of your entries in. That’s the deadline. No exceptions. Tuesday night I will tally the number of times each person is entered and send that information to Thad, who will in turn randomly select the winner and announce it Wednesday morning on our blog. If you plan to give the book to someone as a Christmas gift, you should have it in plenty of time.
Let the games begin. Good luck!
ps: this post will remain on the sidebar until the contest is over with a note to enter here so your buddies will know where to enter your name.

ok i would have my family and friends vote for me but they all want the book to keep
this is jimmy i think my life around here would be easier if cathy was to win this book because,then i could stop hearing about how it is not fair that melinda has one and cathy doesnt.
I don’t know who she is and haven’t visited her blog but my name is in the hat now and it’s gonna be great to win this book.
Melinda,
Please, Please, Please give me the book!!! I just have to have it. I told you I would trade it for my unsigned book that I have. You cannot give it to my sister Cat, that would be so partial. She is your BFF(just kidding). You must give it to me because your daughter is our Nanna Anna.
The best part of her blog is her story Black Heels to Tractor Wheels. This is a must read!!!
OK, I don’t see Columbia/Lexington, SC on your book signing tour.. BUMMER.. maybe I can have Thad bring me a signed copy when he comes to SC. Good Luck with the success of your book. I will look for it in our book stores. I hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas, and a Safe & Happy New Year celebration.
OH MY GOSH PLEASE GIVE IF TO MICHELE (this is bubba, not mr. preacher man eric)
I want Michelle Foster to win this cookbook.
I think that Michele should win this book!!
Good Morning Melinda…. I feel that you should not have to choose between your BFF Cathy or her sister Michelle, so just go ahead and give it to me:)
the one thing I like most about PW’s site is her detailed photos for the recipes, this way I will know how mine is supposed to look through each stage of the recipe process
Michele Foster really WANTS this book. I will use my entry for her. I like my cookbook signed or unsigned.
Ok I need all of your help, I am in a cookbook contest and I want to be the winner, so please check out my good friend Melinda’s site (link listed below) and add in the comment section of her post that I should win the cookbook. I would love you all forever!!!!* PW cookbook christmas contest …|Life On The Edge Of The Devil’s Track

Here is my other 2 points, comment posted on facebook and the link back to your site….. oh this is so fun!!!!
I think Katrina Jones should win the cookbook. She is a fan of PW. Thank you,
Just make it easy give cookbook to katrina. She would love it. Thanks
I think Katrina Jones should win the cookbook, because she is a friend and co-worker in the Tax Office in Alexander County. Her co-workers would benifit from her winning because she would share the recipes with us then we would go out and buy the cookbook. That’s a no BRAINER!!!!!!!
I definitely feel Katrina Jones should win the cookbook. I’ve known Katrina since she was 8 years old. She’s not only a good friend and co-worker but she’s a great wife and mother!
Melinda you really need to give this cookbook to Michele. Just think, you will save me from having to travel half way across the country trying chase PW down “Proably ending up in jail” to get a book signed.
GIVE THE COOKBOOK TO MICHELE, SORRY CAT!
I VOTE FOR MICHELE!
I think Katrina should be awarded this cookbook because she enjoys cooking, especially with her daughter. How wonderful it would be to encourage this shared time between a mother and her daughter — a teenager!
Ok Michele ask me first. Katrina is my wonderful sister-in-law and I would love for her to win because she might just make me something from the cookbook. However, I myself would love to have the cookbook. Maybe this will count as three entries. One for Michele. One for Katrina and most importantly one for me!
I just love your ideas Melinda and Thad !!! Melinda, is this fullfilling a lifelong secret desire to be a game show host ? When you draw the winner, can you please wear a colorful jacket and hold a skinny microphone like on price is right ????? This is so cool ! Hope you guys are having a blessed Christmas season and please send our regards to the rest of the family ! .
O.K. Melinda, I made a #6 entry, yes I am that desperate. I e-mailed pioneer woman about this contest and give her the link to your blog. I told her how a little town in NC was fighting over your cookbook. I also told her how the cookbook got to you, this has to count for something, right!!!!
Mrs. Katrina Jones is an amazing lady and so very well deserving of being the recipient of the cook book. She has a contagious laugh that will make you smile and is as loving and devoted friend you will ever find. There is no other choice than to choose KATRINA JONES as your winner.
pick me! pick me!
i love books and i need to learn some new recipes.
my dad is coming for 13 days for goodness sake. HELP ME OUT HERE!
if it’s good enough for your table, it’s good enough for mine!
XXOO
I think that Katrina Jones should win the cook book
I have to vote for Michele!, sorry Cat!
Hi. This is Tod. Katrina’s wonderful husband who is using his sister’s identity to vote for his wife so she can win this cookbook. I think Katrina should definitely be the winner so she can cook me some of the good dishes out of the pioneer woman’s cookbook.
I RELLY LOVE YOU KATRINA!
Hey This is actually Tod this time. If you’ve seen me lately you will know I am malnouirshed and need some good food from this cookbook. PLEASE give it to Katrina.
I STILL REALLY LOVE YOU KATRINA!!
My name is Rick. I work for Tod. He does look malnourished and PLEASE give his wife this cookbook. Actually, Tod is the Chief Depurty and I am SCARED of him and afraid I may lose my job if I don’t vote for Katrina to win this cookbook. So, PLEASE PLEASE give Katrina ths cookbook so I can keep my job.
I think Cat needs the book please!
Give Cathy the book. Fine and you?
I would really like to win the cookbook.
Please give Michele the cookbook!
I think you should give Michele the cookbook.
Give the cook book to Michele!
i Think Cathy needs the cook book.
i think cathy needs to get the cook book
give the cook book to cathy

My 2nd mother Cathy Brown really wants and NEEDS this book.
I think my mother that being Cathy Brown deserves this cookbook, she is a HUGE fan of PW!!!!!
This is Katrina’s aunt. I think she should win the cookbook.
