The Gathering of Friends Volume 2 Cookbook Giveaway

Happy New Year!

As promised, we would like to introduce you to the second volume of
The Gathering Of Friends Cookbook

by Michelle Huxtable

Like the first book, I immediatly fell in love with this enchanting cookbook. It is a beautiful book, full of stunning pictures and brimming with promising recipes.


Not only is it a delight to look at, but it will be a great help with my New Years resolution to plan my weekly meals in advance.


It has 5 weeks of planned dinners, including weekly shopping lists to make it easy for you!
Then on top of that it contains 5 additional chapters of recipes, including Effortless Dishes, Savory Beginnings, Wholesome Soups, Garden Fresh Salads, and Enchanting Desserts. This volume has 3 times the recipes of volume one. I think you would all love it!



Once again we would love to give two of you a copy of your own.

Just leave us a comment sharing one of your New Years Resolutions this year.

The winners will be chosen using random.org on Friday January 8 (once my children are off to school!)


Good luck and Happy New Year to you, our wonderful readers!

  179. My resolution is to take more pictures of my family. I have a sister-in-law who is a photographer and since she always takes amazing photos at family occasions, I just give up, knowing that her pics will be so much better than mine. I now realize that it's not about occasions, it's everyday. Happy New Year!

  186. Which New Year's Resolution? SO many to choose from...one of mine is the same as yours - to get my menus prepared for the week. This also falls in the same realm as another one - lose that baby weight once and for all - which also falls in line with yet another - eat healthier. I could go on and on here.
