Speaking of giving…
A few weeks ago, I was catching up on my food blog reading, and I came across this post on What We’re Eating in which Amanda put out a call to other bloggers to join her in Paying It Forward. Since I happen to love giving gifts so much, and since it is that time of year, after all, I couldn’t resist joining in the fun. I love the thought of packaging up some homemade goodies to send out to some of you people out there who stop by here to spend some time in my virtual kitchen. (Plus, now Amanda has to send me a present too — everyone wins!)
So, here’s how it works: I will send a handmade gift to the first 3 people who leave a comment on my blog requesting to join this Pay It Forward exchange. I don’t know what that gift will be yet and you may not receive it tomorrow or next week, but you will receive it within 365 days, which is my promise! The only thing you have to do in return is pay it forward by making the same promise on your blog.
So, if you have a blog and you like the idea of giving away stuff you’ve made to folks who read your blog, then leave me a comment and I’ll start dreaming up what to make you. Just make sure you leave an email address so I can get in touch with you about how to get said gift in your possession.
I love the holidays!

Hi!! So does this mean I have to cook something
I would love to have something from your kitchen so I hope I’ve made the top 3. I also hope to have good news for you sometime soon. It looks like LSU is really interested in Graham. We are having to be patient and just wait to see what the offer for both of us looks like. Will keep you posted!
love, ashley

Hi! Well, I don’t have a blog, but I do like to read yours. What about all of us who gain cooking inspiration and can still Pay It Forward?
I would so love a treat from your kitchen!
Please consider.
Thank you,
Jody

I saw Amanda’s post and should have done it then.
So I’ll join in the fun. Sign me in if I 1,2 or 3!
Neat Idea.
Oh and the pumpkin dip is great!!

Yay! 3 people to pay it forward!
Ashley: You absolutely do NOT have to cook anything. The only rules about the gifts you give is that they must be handmade.
Jody: Of course, I would love to send you a gift. Your word that you’ll find 3 folks to pay it forward further is good enough for me!
Tanna: I’m so happy you’ve enjoyed the pumpkin dip, and I am so looking forward to sending you some treats!
I’ll email each of you to get mailing addresses, and if anyone else who does have a blog still wants to join in, I’ll leave the third blogger spot open. The more we spread the spirit of giving, the better, right?

The spirit of giving is wonderful. You — and your site — have inspired me in some times that have been horrid. So Thank you for ALL that you do and HAPPY CHRISTMAS to the three of you!!! (And we expect a report on your first Christmas!!). -Jonathan, Mother and Myrtle

I have just spent the better part of this afternoon on your Weekly Dish.
What an amazing young woman you are. Thank you for the wonderful recipes and the good energy that is so strong while I read over them and of your life.
Love and blessings to you and your family.
