The First Madhouse Giveaway!

The cookbooks are all sold.  Ha!  And my husband was so worried that we'd have boxes of cookbooks sitting in our garage collecting dust for years.  The publishing company even sent us extras.  To be honest, it's kind of bittersweet to see this chapter closed.

To close the chapter in style, I have saved the last cookbook aside for this giveaway.  A thank you for reading about the Madhouse and sticking with me through (or joining me after) the address change shake-up.

Just a heads up...
This is not a gourmet cookbook.  It is not a sugar-free or a gluten-free cookbook.
It is full of good, old-fashioned, tried and true, made from everything-you-probably-already-have-on-hand recipes.  These are the recipes I use everyday plus a few from some very loved friends.
  

Who can enter? This giveaway is open to anyone in the United States and Canada.  
Please make sure I have access to an email address for you.


***TO ENTER:
Leave a comment on this post simply telling me that you want it.***


For extra entries, post a separate comment when you do any of the following:

♥ Follow me on blogger (on the right sidebar).

♥ Follow Hesses Madhouse via Networked Blogs (on the right sidebar).

♥ Post about this giveaway on your blog (leave your link in the comment).

♥ If you already own one of my cookbooks, you have an extra advantage--make a comment mentioning which of the recipes in the book you have liked most so far.   I figure if you win, you can use this extra book as a Christmas gift for someone else.


NOTE:  If you are already a follower, you will already be counted in.



You may enter until Midnight on Monday, November 21st. The winners will be chosen at random and announced soon after!

    And I own a cookbook but we haven't started using it yet, a lot of the recipes look really good, though. Maybe we should start cooking some of the recipes this week!

    I'd love the cookbook, because I collect (and use them, too) cookbooks. I always like to see what "real" people (not just TV chefs) are making.
