I SO need an apron!
I desperately need an apron. Pick me please!!
The apron is adorable! My favorite dish to make is fajitas!
Oooh, I love the apron, and I don't have an apron, and I am a messy cook!!
I love to make chicken chimichangas and 4 cheese fettucini and homemade clam chowder. I think two of them are on my blog...not sure about the fettucini, but it is to die for. So if you'd like the recipe just let me know.
Too cute! Here's a fave I saw on Paula Deen a while back. It took the standard holiday baked beans to a whole other level...
4 (16-ounce) cans baked beans
1 (20-ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
1 cup molasses
1 cup BBQ sauce
2 tablespoon yellow or brown mustard
5 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
1 (6-ounce) can french-fried onions, crushed
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In large bowl, mix together beans, pineapple, molasses, BBQ sauce, mustard, bacon, and a third of the onions.
Add some salt and pepper, to taste. Pour beans in 9 by 13-inch casserole dish and sprinkle remaining crushed
onions and bacon on top. Cook in oven for 1 hour or until beans brown and bubble. Serve warm.
oh I would love this apron, I have always wanted one! My favorite dish is....stir-fry with fried rice and LOTS of soy sauce, lol.
palmersf(at)bellsouth(dot)net

I just stopped by because you had been on my blog. How fun that you are having a giveaway! My favorite thing to make is tilapia. I just get the frozen tilapia, stick it in the pan with butter on top(quite a bit) and then freshly ground lemon pepper. Cook it for like 1/2 and hour and it is soooo delish!

Very cute!
That apron is so cute!!
I'm not a fan of cooking, but I cook because I enjoy eating LOL. Some of my favorite recipes can be found here: http://broadhorizonsfood.blogspot.com/
Very nice! :)
I love to cook. I don't know if I really have a favourite dish overall, because I really enjoy variety, and most of what I make is good in and of itself. If I had to pick one recipe though, that stands out, it would be Marilyn Moll's Beef Burgundy Simplified http://articles.urbanhomemaker.com/index.php?article=681
I also like to pair it up with the mashed potatoes on the Pioneer Woman's cooking site.
Mmmmmm. It makes my mouth water just thinking about it.
I would love to be entered in your giveaway.

VERY nice apron, and I love all the "doesn't have" it's on the candy. Enter me in!
pretty please enter me!
Oh oh oh, I love that apron! I need one so badly, I'm a mess in the kitchen!
That apron is too cute!
One of my favorite recipes, simply because of its simplicity is Black Bean Salsa Salad. Take one can of black beans drained and rinced, one can of Rotel tomatoes drained, half of a onion, 1/2 cup or so of lime juice(enough to coat everything and give a little dressing) and salt to taste. Prepare at least one hour prior to serving, can be served cold or at room temperature. I like to serve it over rice or quinoa.

I'm a big fan of chocolate chip cookies, though that's the extent of my cooking ability. But with a cute apron, I might be inspired to get into the kitchen a bit more.
Thanks for coming by my blog and entering my giveaway, good luck! I would love that apron!! I don't have a favorite dish *unless it's chocolate chip cookies* but I am always putting new recipes that I love up on my blog.

the apron is adorable! I really should start using one. I make a mess in the kitchen when I cook. My favorite recipe is my homemade spaghetti sauce. 1 lb ground beef, 1 can tomato paste, 1 can tomato sauce, 2 cloves garlic, 1 stick margarine or butter, 1/4 cup olive oil, italian spices, salt and pepper.
melt butter in pan, saute garlic for a minute or two, then add olive oil and tomato paste and sauce plus one tomato sauce can of water. cook until boiling then add italian spices (use any kind you can find in the spice section of the store), and salt & pepper, turn heat to low and cover. brown meat, pour off fat and add to sauce. heat for 1/2 hour, then pour over cooked spaghetti noodles. great with a side salad and bread. yum!
i love this apron! hope i win!
Beautiful apron! I have a dairy allergy, so vegan candy is perfect for me!!
The apron and candy sound GREAT! Even though I don't cook... My hubby does, though. :)
My best recipe goes something like this: pour cereal in bowl and add milk to taste. :)
I love to bake almost anything! I have a yummy recipe for yeast rolls on my blog that I will post here:
Easy Yeast Rolls
1 cup water
2 T butter, softened
1 egg
3 1/4 cup bread flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 t salt
3 t yeast
Place all ingredients in bread pan in the order listed. Select dough cycle. When cycle is finished, grease cookie sheet. Divide dough into 12 pieces. Shape each piece into ball. Place 2 inches apart on cookie sheet. Brushes with melted butter, if desired. Cover with clean cloth; let rise 30-40 minutes or until double.**
Heat oven to 375. Bake 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Brush tops with melted butter again, if desired.
**My bread machine has a rising cycle built in so if I'm strapped for time, there's no need for this step of extra rising. I just divide the dough, brush with butter and bake! They are so wonderful
Awesome apron!
What a yummy prize!
The apron is so cute! And I especially like the candy. Both of my daughters are allergic to gluten, soy & dairy, so there is very little candy they can have. They'd really enjoy having some. I don't have any recipes nowadays, we cook simple, unspiced chicken, pork or beek with plain potatoes or rice and a veggie. Very boring, but it guarantees it will be safe for the girls. I'd love to win! Thank you for the chance =)
Fried Rice--using my soaked brown rice: http://lymeadehealth.blogspot.com/2008/02/cooking-soakedsprouted-brown-rice.html
I like to use leftover rice to make this as my stand-by meal.
I watch Jon & Kate + 8 and they love their organic candy! I'd love to try some!
I am a beginner at cooking. I have been trying out new recipes and have a few that I like but they are totally basic. I do love aprons. Don't know why, but I really like aprons. The candy sounds delicious too!
I love the apron, and the candy sounds awesome. I'm crazy about pomegranate!

I love the apron and would really like to try the pom candy! As for a recipe I like to make...here is one I came across in a magazine ages ago and have been making since...Chai Tea Cupcakes!
Ingredients
*30 mini cupcake liners
*1 cup all-purpose flour
*1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
*1/4 cup instant chai tea mix
*1 teaspoon baking powder
*1/4 teaspoon salt

*1/3 cup milk
*1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Frosting
*3/4 cup softened cream cheese, from the tub
*1/4 cup instant chai tea mix
*1/4 cup powdered sugar
cocoa or powdered sugar to garnish
Directions
1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2) Line mini muffin pans with liners.
3) Combine flour, chai mix, cocoa, baking powder and salt and whisk together.
4) In a large mixing bowl, combine butter and sugar and cream together (approx 3 minutes).
5) Add eggs one at a time and beat well.
6) Add vanilla.
7) On low speed, alternate adding flour and milk into the creamed butter mixture and beat.
8) Fill cupcake cups with batter 3/4 full.
9) Bake for approximately 15 minutes or until done.

11) Combine all the ingredients and mix until smooth.
12) Refrigerate until cakes have cooled.
13) Frost cakes and sprinkle cocoa powder or powdered sugar on top frosting as a garnish.
Also, to make it easier to fill mini cupcakes holders, place batter in a large plastic ziplock bag, snip off a bit on the corner.

My husband always wants me to wear an apron when I cook (I tend to be a bit of a klutz)! This is a really cute one.
so cute!

I would love to win an apron. I just told my husband yesterday I need one because I always am staining my clothes in the kitchen. Anyway, I love to cook chicken enchiladas, potato soup, hamburger stroganoff. I really enjoy cooking and I have a tendency to try new things more often then cooking the same thing over and over.
daisyduck0427@gmail.com
That apron is adorable, and lately I'm obsessed with pomegranate.

My favorite dish to make is chicken pinwheels! My mom mixes up the dough, but any good bisquit dough works. We shred cooked chicken and chop up the carrots and celery. Roll out the dough and smear it with butter. Sprinkle on the chicken and veggies and roll it up like a cinnamon roll. Chop it up and bake it for about 30 minutes. Pour chicken gravy on top and serve with mashed taters! Mmmm! We also LOVE homemade egg noodles, but I don't know the recipe off by heart. They are a staple to our family tough!
Now I've taken up lots of space on your board haha. Have fun at the Carnival!!
I need an apron so badly! And the candy sounds delicious! So please pick me....if you do, I'll send you my world famous (well, at least this little corner of the world)cheesecake recipe. :)

Great giveaway! I love to make sweet and spicy pork chops! Take pork chops, taco seasoning, apricot preserves, and salsa and throw it all in the crock pot on low for 8 hours. YUM!
Apron is so cute! My favorite recipe is salsa chicken cause it's so easy and good. Put a couple of chicken breasts (can still be frozen) in the crockpot and cover generously with salsa. Cook on high for 4-6 hours. Shred with a spatula and serve on tortillas with cheese and sour cream. YUM!
Cutest thing ever.
I like to cook risotto and then put tons of havarti cheese in it. Soo creamy.

What a cute apron. My favorite and very easy meal is parmesean chicken http://kidtestedmotherapproved.blogspot.com/2008/03/parmesan-chicken-dinner.html
Thanks for the great giveaway!
cute apron!
i think my favorite meal to cook (since i can't decide to share a main course or a dessert) would be:
chicken sauteed with a little italian sausage, lots of mushrooms and garlic, some marinated artichoke hearts... served over penne... topped with a mound of freshly grated parmesan.
some lettuce greens tossed with balsamic vinegar, a sprinkle of basil and a touch of salt and pepper.
crusty bread with olive oil to dip.
brownies with sliced strawberries.
MMM.
I am LOVING that apron!!!! I love to cook, it's hard to pick a favorite recipe. Here's one that's super easy and always a crowd pleaser:
Creamy Cinnamon Squares
Ingerdients:
2 cans Pillsbury Crescent Rolls
¾ c. white sugar
2 (8 oz. each) packages cream cheese
1 tsp. vanilla
Topping:
¼ c. white sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
Directions:
Spread 1 crescent roll package on bottom of greased 9 x 13 cake pan. Mix together 2 packages cream cheese, ¾ c. sugar, and 1 tsp. vanilla and spread on top of crescent roll. Spread 2nd crescent roll package on top of mixture. Mix ¼ c. sugar and 1 tsp. cinnamon and sprinkle on top of 2nd crescent roll. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes. Cool for awhile, then pop into the fridge until completely cold. Cut into squares and enjoy!
Notes: This is also delicious if you mix some apple pie filling in with the cream cheese.
That apron suits me...and my kitchen just fine!
My family tells me I make a mean meatloaf and yummy tacos!
Thanks for the great giveaway!
I love the apron. Its so pretty
I would love this! I love cooking. I've been told I make awesome brownies, which actually come from the Williams-Sonoma Dessert cookbook.

I love to bake! Someone shared this recipe with me and I love to share new recipes that sound delicious:
Lorie’s Toblerone* Brownies
300g TOBLERONE* Dark Chocolate, roughly chopped
150g butter, chopped
1 ½ cups brown sugar
1 cup plain flour
4 eggs
½ cup sour cream
Cocoa for dusting
PLACE the TOBLERONE* and butter into a saucepan and heat gently until chocolate is melted. Remove from heat.
STIR through the sugar, flour, eggs and sour cream until well combined. Pour into a well lined 9 x 13cm pan.
BAKE at 180ºC for 30 minutes or until cooked through. Cool on a wire rack, cut into pieces dust with cocoa and serve.
It says to use the Toblerone dark and you can, their really wicked, but you can also use the regular milk chocolate one, or the white, or whatever. I've used more than one kind.

Cute apron!
There are 2 reasons why I MUST win this prize...(hehe) - 1 - I love that apron & my kitchen is done all in fruit...and 2 - pomegranate is a symbol of fertility (because it produces so many seeds) and since I am infertile, I wear a pomegranate-colored bracelet around my wrist. :)
Very nice prize! My favorite dish is enchiladas!
