like to know what you’re playing for?
Thank you to everyone who has already entered the contest! (But don’t worry, if you haven’t entered yet, you still have time!) I scouted around Williams Sonoma today and found this small bundle of kitchen tools.
The first item is the Oxo Good Grips potato peeler. I’ve had mine for close to ten years and it still hasn’t worn out. It’s great and worth every extra penny. I just got my first citrus reamer a few weeks ago, and love it, especially when I only need to juice one or two lemons or limes. My favorite is the Microplane. You can find it in lots of kitchen stores, but the ones they sell at Williams Sonoma have a protective sleeve and rubber pads on the end to prevent slipping—two great safety features. I use it for zesting citrus fruits, grinding fresh nutmeg, and grating fresh ginger. The red spoonula (sorry, that link no longer has the spoonulas—only spatulas) is a favorite. I use it for spooning dry ingredients into batter when I use the mixer, or for cooking in nonstick pans, or whatever else.
If you haven’t entered yet, get cooking, and post a comment to tell me about it. Best of luck!

Very attractive package! I love microplanes too. Everything needing citrus in it tastes much better with the zest added. Crossing fingers…
I tried the Magic Smor’es Bars…and we loved them….I never thought to put marshmellows on them….Thank you for sharing!!
These look like a wonderful addition to any kitchen. I just found your website & would love to start baking chocolate chip cookies right now, except it is only 3:30am… love this insomnia (not)
Thank you!
Love it, love it, love it! With my new found food passion, these would be a perfect addition to my kitchen! I’ve got my fingers crossed!
Wow! What a handy prize package. I bake alot but I have never used a microplane. I have seen them and thought about buying one but never did. I am going to have to have my husband pick one up for my x-mas stocking!
oh the prize looks wonderful.
I have to try those lime bars for sure now.
Off to get to it.
I too have wanted but have yet to pick up a microplane. I’m sure it’d be so much handier for cooking! Those lime bars do look good. I’ll have to try those soon.
I just came across your blog. I love to cook and bake and I am always looking for new ideas!!!
I have been taking a recipe class at our local scrapbook store for years. Love trying the recipes I bring home each month. What a great prize package you are offering. I love to bake cookies, your lime bars look great! Can’t wait to try them.
I’m addicted to kitchen tools, i would be so happy to win! One of my favorite recipe is key lime pie so the reamer and the Microplane would be very useful!!!
I love your site a and your recipes. Thank you!
Bonne journée!
Hello!
I loved the reminisce of small towns! I grew up in Eastern Oregon but in the country so I only could wish of being a “town” kid to walk around.
the family farm was 500 acres so we had a lot of room to run and work and work and work! I was at BYU from 1992-1996 and I wish that I had met you and Becky!!!
Please enter me in your cute contest for fun cooking tools. I made chocolate chip cookies and had some yellow squash puree in them, shhhh! I also cooked some coconut chicken fingers and had some pumpkin puree in them, yummmy! As to the thank you notes, it made me laugh because I have two in my purse written, loved, and waiting to be mailed… I’ll go do that right now! Check out my website for cute lds temple bags mytagbag.com I sold 130 at Swiss Days! Thanks! Tonya Berrett Stoddard
There is nothing like a Williams Sonoma gadget to help make your cooking a little simpler. Your food looks remarkable Jamie!
Maybe I’ll be a better cook if I had some Williams-Sonoma kitchen gadgets on hand! ha.
I really need the microplane!
Thanks So Much!

Wow, love your blog! I already made the banana loaves and mandm cookies. Fantabulous! This contest is so perfect for me, a wanna be chef!
Find you by way of Becky’s blog. I have baked the banana bread on Monday night. It was soooo good. My kids loved it. They are begging for more already. I am trying the s’mores bars tomorrow for after church snack. I think we will do the M&M cookies for FHE treat. Thanks for the great recipes! So excited about the contest!
I made your clam chowder recipe for sunday dinner today. It was tasty, but I had trouble with it thickening. I added 2 T. cornstarch mixed w/ 2T. cold milk. I also cut the fat down to 1 T. olive oil and 1 T. butter. I used 2 C. of half-and-half and 2 C. of 1% milk. Next time I would only add a splash of lemon juice, the juice of 1 lemon was too much for my husband. I am so impressed with your original recipes. I found your blog from shannon’s.
Fabulous lime bars – my favorite – lime anything that is! And I’ve been wanting a microplane for awhile now
Can’t wait to try more recipes. Thanks.
Well, I haven’t tried any of your recipies (YET!), but I have to add my appreciation for my OXO peeler! I love mine, with a passion that is a bit scary. I have owned mine for about 10 years, also. Actually, I own 2 of them, just in case one is hiding. I also give them as wedding gifts, along with a cookbook (the cookbook I choose depends on the experience of the chef).
I am planning to try the lime bars, but I am afraid that I will pull a muscle wrestling with my husband for them.
I absolutely love your blog. I check it out almost every day and have made a few things. Thanks for making my kitchen happy.
I made the cream cheese swirled brownies for my church potluck. They went incredibly fast as they were the first dessert gone. Thanks for the recipe!
I made the lime bars and they were yummy. Didn’t last very long. I think the microplane would be perfect. So would all the gifts for this recipe. Thanks for the great blog!
