Just tweeted!!! Wow, I hope 1 or 2 gets chosen to win … hehe… merry christmas!!
This site is just gorgeous, Loralee. Btw.
I loved Serena’s photos of her home — quite jealous, might add…;) But I really liked the information about how to keep my whipped cream from separating. My first efforts failed miserably so now I’m trying honey! Laurie
That pantry!!! Do you have any idea how much I covet a pantry as organized at neat as that one?!
Maybe it will inspire me to…who am I kidding?
Happy to spread the word…though I could TOTALLY use that mixer!

Liked the recipe for the Utah Au Gratin potatoes. Fabulous giveaway!
What HAVENT I loved is the question! I am so happy to have found your site! Thank you for the chance to win those amazing products! I would love to mix up a Christmas cake in that beauty!
Love the s’mores cupcakes and of course Serena.
P.S. All I want for Christmas is a Kitchenaid Stand mixer.

I love the pantry. I need one of those in my own home so my cabinets will not be so full of stuff!
I just tweeted about the giveaway http://twitter.com/#!/jennifer_sikora
Love seeing all the pictures of different kitchens-especially loved Serena’s pantry…what I wouldn’t give for a pantry like that! Found this website from my daily visit to the Pioneer Woman website…love it!
I enjoy everything about Amuse-Bouche…look forward to each and every posting!
You can never have too much information and your site makes cooking fun again.
I have enjoyed the “featured Bios”.
I loved Sunday’s post, though I wanted to jump through the screen and devour that entire bowl of chocolate chip cookie dough!
Tweet, tweet.

I love everything about this site, but the most useful tip for me this week was about how to keep whip cream from seperating!
I really enjoyed yesterday’s post- Photography: Life on the Prarie. I think this is a fun blog to check in on, it really appeals to this Montana girl’s idea of home and cooking.
Apparently, I have (like a few people have indicated through the years) been living under a rock! I loved this week with Serena and her story filled with adventure! I am now a devoted fan of FARM CHICKS! Also, I am LOVING the idea of decorating with nature….it looks so rich and inviting! I will be using this for my annual winter solstice feast! Thanks for the ideas! Seasons Greetings from Logan Utah!!!
What a wonderful site. I absolutely love it. The bio of Serena is wonderful and I envy that gorgeous pantry.
I was in love with your S’mores cupcakes recipe. I can’t wait to try that one over the Christmas holiday!
Because I live in the country, I especially enjoyed the article about decorating the table with “found” items from outdoors.
My favorite post so far is the smores cupcakes. They look so good and I can’t wait to try them!

I enjoyed the recent “tip, trick…” about keeping your whipped cream together. It’s so annoying to whip it by hand only to have it coming apart by desert! Thank you so much for the tip!!
I love the “fun holiday products for your kitchen”! I am a “gadget girl” and Christmas is a magical time of year. Everytime you see a beautiful kitchen product in your kitchen, it brings a little cupful of Christmas blessing! Merry Christmas to you all and have a very blessed holiday!
What HAVEN’T I liked this week? I absolutely adore Serena and she has inspired me to undertake a major cleaning/organization project in my house - a New Year’s Resolution, so to speak. I am also majorly inspired by her decorating
while browsing barnes and noble’s stacks last week i discovered your magazine……which led me to your website. lovely!
You have started out with my 2 favorite women, Ree and Serena. The pictures are amazing. Have to agree, I loved the tip about the whipping cream and will use it from now on….. Blessings….Terry
I loved the tip/trick about the whipped cream! I will definately use that next time I make whipped cream!
I LOVED the homemade whipped cream tip!
I have to say the s’more cakes! My husband has never had s’mores (he’s from Kenya) and I’ve been daydreaming for a while about taking him camping and giving him the whole experience. I’m going to try the cakes after Christmas with him
Would love to win this great giveaway!
The smore cakes!! I can’t wait to try these! Perfect for the days that you can’t build a fire
Fingers crossed. thank you soooo much for the giveaway. I hope I win so I can give my sister the Kitchenaid mixer!
This week? I liked the ‘smores cakes, will probably be making some of them tomorrow for our Christmas visitors. thanks
I love your tag title. Honestly every time I pull up your page, I smile!
Good morning!
I just popped over from Serena’s place, to have a peek at this sweet giveaway. Wow, holiday fun is everywhere, isn’t it? Yesterday I managed to get my hands on the first edition of “Where Women Cook.” I know I am going to love the inspiration from all those gorgeous photographs, and talented women. So, if my plans go smoothly, tonight I will be snuggled in a comfy corner, with tea, and this magazine. Then tomorrow, I will be in our kitchen and making something new and delicious. Cannot wait!
What haven’t I loved this week? Serena is a fabulous host, not to mention a doll! However, this week, as I FINALLY have my hands on a copy of the magazine, I have been enjoying perusing the inspiration there~
Great Site. Loved the whipped cream tips. Could use the stand mixer to WHIP the cream!

Honestly, my favorite thing is the name Amuse Bouche what a wonderful phrase and it’s fun to say.
Amuse Bouche!
I enjoyed all of Amuse Bouche but the tip for keeping whipped cream from separating is going to come in handy during the holidays!
I loved the smores recipe - I’m going to make it for our annual Christmas party this coming Monday night!! I love Serena and everything Farm Chicks - I got to go to her Farm Chicks show last May in Spokane and had a blast - it made me a die-hard fan of hers forever! xo, Nan
I loved the tip about the whipped cream! Thanks!
I have really enjoyed getting to know Serena better even though I have followed her blog for quite some time. What an amazing prize package!
I also loved the whipped cream tips! I have sworn off buying whipped cream from the store now that I can make it at home (and it’s SOOO much better!)
Definitely the smores recipe!
I tweeted! http://twitter.com/#!/melhawley

The pantry has me drooling-and planning…
I LOVE all of Serena’s style!
I love to see our local farm chick doing so well!!
I love the pictures (especially of the cake!) by John Granen for the book. I like studying pictures of food done by professionals so I can figure out how to take better pictures.
I loved the recipe for the s’mores cake. So cute!
How fun! My favorite thing this week is Serena-I’ve loved her from the moment I heard about “The Farm Chicks” and checked it out…then I bought her first cookbook and I was a goner! Thanks for the chance to win, and for focusing on such amazing women each week!

Santa is going to get nervous when he sees this generous giveaway event - WOW - not only have we had a full week of FABULOUS ideas and tips, but to end it with fun prizes just beats all. I really loved the little s’mores cakes. And I’ve been a fan of Ree’s since she first started her blog - so happy to see her featured in your first publication.
I have just discovered Where Women Cook thanks to The Farm Chicks (thank you, Serena!). I have enjoyed discovering what Amuse-Bouche is about. I look forward to reading and seeing more.
I just found your website today. I am a big fan of Pioneer woman and Farm Chicks, this looks like a great site also. Great giveaway, If I win it I will draw a name out of a mixing bowl and give it to one of my 2 daughters as a very special Christmas gift.
I’m making the s’more cakes tonight!
Thank you for such a wonderful blog!
I’m new to this website, but I love the Farm Chicks! My favorite thing? This giveaway!
I love that it’s really just “normal” women who love what they do! Serena at Farm Chicks lives in my GREAT STATE of WASHINGTON-love it!
I think my favorite thing so far may be the chocolate bundt cake pictured from Serena’s cookbook!
The information on cooking is irreplacable !
I was so happy with the post on Serena’s recipe for Smores, the cupcake just makes it look that much more special and my family loves smores and cupcakes so it’s the perfect combination treat to have by the fire as we watch a Christmas movie. I am so excited to make it this weekend with my girls in our aprons. Our aprons were another inspiration from Serena.
I love that you feature creative artistic women doing what they love to do! I also LOVE the cupcake stand! too cute.
I enjoyed Serena’s Bio and I also enjoyed getting to go to NYC a week ago today for the magazine launch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)I’d love to win an early Christmas present! Thank-you!
I loved the inspiration I felt when looking at the pics of Serena’s home decor. I felt an overwhelming urge to finally create the comfy, cozy, functional home of my dreams. Thank you, Amuse-Bouche and The Farm Chicks!
i have loved all of the yummy recipes that I have found! Smore cake!
S’more cakes look wonderful! I will have to try them…SOON!
This is such a nice blog!
I love everything about the Where Women Cook concept. It’s refreshing to see women proud of their skills in domesticity. And The Farm Chicks I adore- what a great collaboration! Thanks for the chance to win.
I love the S’morecakes and the pantry photo from the previous post! Thanks for the fantabulous giveaway!
Those smores cakes look so tasty!! I am headed off to the store to get the stuff that I don’t have!! Also who wouldn’t love to have an adorable organized pantry like that!
I’ve enjoyed everything about the launch, especially picking up my very own copy of Where Women Cook, last Friday. I know the blog will be a daily read for me too. The prize package is awesome!
I loved the Sunday Brunch post. I will be making the German Chocolate Cake soon!
The pictures…definitely the beautiful pictures.
Loved the pictures from everyone’s kitchens! Would love, love a mixer!
I’m loving Where Women Cook, but the best thing this week was the tip about making whipped cream not separate. Now I can whip the cream beforehand so people don’t have to wait for dessert!
I really enjoyed and advocated the recipe organization post. I also do a similar thing with my recipes, but have gotten pretty far behind in the last few years-thanks for the reminder!
We would love to win this giveaway. My husband is part of the long term unemployed, and with the economy, winning this package would go a long way towards making our family’s holidays merry!
I loved the kitchen on life on a praire. I’m dreaming of a white kitchen… My daughter on the other hand is dreaming of s’more cakes lol!
I enjoyed peeking inside Serena’s world. She is so creative.

I really liked the smore cupcakes this week. What a cool idea. I’m going to give it a try. Thanks for the opportunity in the giveaway.
I loved the kitchen on living on the prairie!!
I loved the pictures of Serena and her family but especially her recipe for smore cupcakes.
Everything!?! I love the smores cakes for my kids, and Serena, and this post and the chance to win a mixer! (and Serena’s Christmas book, which I have wanted since she released it!)
I love all the photography and bios of interesting women.
Does this post count? That tea pot is way to cute along with everything else of course. But the s’mores cupcakes got me thinking I better make them!
LOVE that pantry!!
This giveaway is amazing!! So. much. fun!
Thanks!
I have enjoyed reading about my hometown celeb Serena!! Everything about this magazine is perfect, thank you to everyone involved
I loved discovering Amuse Bouche this week! The photo of Serena’s pantry is FANTASTIC and the clever tip about the whipped cream is something I’m sure to use in the future. I also loved searching through the archives and stumbling on the salted caramel cookie recipe! Mmmm…now if only I had a mixer to make the cookies with and some cute recipe cards to keep the recipe on…
WOW….I have adored everything on the site. Especially the whipping cream “secret” and the smores cake…to die for yumminess! Thank you for the chance at making my home more cook friendly
XOX
ps - Serena is such a doll and an amazing woman!!And her new home…..holy moly
Living on the prairie made me miss home, just north of Spokane. *sigh* and when I go back in a week it’ll all be under heaps and heaps of snow.
I loved reading about Serena and her life in spokane…that is where I am from too and I am one of her vendors at the farm chicks. The photos and insight into her world are beautiful! This is a lovely site!
thanks
Shirley
I love that recipe for Sweet & Spicy Chicken Thighs from a Southern Fairytale and also the tip for homemade whipped cream! I can’t wait to try both of these. And I hope I win because I would really love to give this Kitchenaid mixer to my girlfriend whose handmixer just broke this week! Her husband is out of work and it would be a great little pick-me-up! And I would love to have those labels for myself! And that cute cupcake stand! How cute!
I like this post. Have followed Where Women Cook all week.

Have loved the farm chicks website for so long, but have never heard of Amuse-Bouche. So glad you teamed up. I looked through the site and love it. The apple butter recipe is perfect, I live in the big city but am dying to get back to my true love, country livin’- and making home made gifts makes life more intimate and relaxing. Thanks
Add me to the list of those jealous of that awesome pantry!
I’ve just discovered your blog/webpage and look forward to learning more about The Farm Chicks and Amuse Bouche. I’ll also be headed to the bookstore to checkout the book as a possible gift for my daughter who is in her first apartment and learning to cook
Just found your site and need to explore your posts. Love the tags/stickers and the ceramic tea set. So cute!
Very cool site…love the ideas! I have always dreamed of having a Kitchenaid mixer. My kiddo (who is an awesome cook at 7) would go crazy with glee. He is totally going to be a chef one day.
Thanks for the fun chance!
I love to read about Ree and Serena. I live in the counrty and wouldn’t change it for anything! Merry Christmas to you!
I have been reading Farmchicks blog for a long time but I really enjoyed learning more about Serena’s life.

Wow, this is a great site!
Love the Smores cupcakes!! Super cute!!
The pantry made me happy! Mine is quite organized but the shelves are boring white. This inspired me to recover them in colorful, fun paper

I enjoyed all of the pictures. Especially the one of the strawberries. It reminded me of the ones my grandfather used to grow in his garden when I was small.

I love the notion of using things from nature to decorate food. I always try to take a sprig of sage or a clump of thyme when decorating but also love to use fresh flowers on a cake or use herbs to decorate. Thanks for reminding me to take nature inside and cook with it. I am now inspired to make a bouche for Christmas Eve and will now make merangue mushrooms! Thanks for the inspiration and Merry Merry!!!
I have to say, I LOVED the slider recipe Pioneer Woman shared. As well as seeing photos of Serena’s kitchen- so inspiring! And this weekend, I’ll be putting the Utah potato gratin recipe to work!
ohhh… I loved the life on the prairie post so much. It was a tiny taste of summer that was like a bit of savory against a pile of sweet on my pallet right now. I’ve been feeling a bit of winter gloom despite the warm glow of Christmas preparations, and this was the perfect bright-eyed lift to my spirits. Thank you Serena for your wonderful writing and photographs! and Thank you Amuse-Bouche for having a great giveaway!
Love the smores cupcakes. Anything with marshmallows sounds great!

As a girl from Serena’s neck of the woods, Washington state….I just love seeing her featured here this week. There’s just nothing quite like a girl raised in the hearty great northwest. Good stock I tell ya!
I love all the wonderful photographs. And the recipe for the S’morecakes. I might have to makes those for the boys in the band.
The site is warm and welcoming, especially with photos and introductions of other cooking women of the webosphere. I’ve grabbed a few recipes from you in the past and am happy to be part of this wonderful giveaway! Merry Christmas to you and yours …

Oh, my…that pantry! It is beautiful.
I love this community of women! Especially, the Farm Chick and Chaps girl, that’s Serena and Celeste from our fantastic part of the country.

https://twitter.com/#!/karianned/status/15976479317827586
I can’t decide if I like the s’more cupcakes or whipped cream trick best…I will have to try both!!!
My daughter loves the s’mores cupcakes. She has asked for them for her birthday next year.
THis is an awesome giveaway. I found out about your website from Farm Chicks! I love her and I love the Pioneer Woman also. I would love to get my hands on one of you magazines. I love it!
wow!!!! this is a fantastic giveaway — I would love to win Serena’s new book and I enjoyed the s’mores. I purchased your magazine through Stampington and received it — then I just received another copy from Federal Express (I believe) who left it in a snow drift so it was totally soaked (because the first 16 pages were missing from my other magazine???)
I loved this post entitled “Life on the Prairie is Good.” The photos of the pantry, the aprons, and all of the baked goods were very inspiring. I would use the labels for pantry jars to label gifts of culinary treats I give to friends this year to thank them for all their help at the end of my pregnancy during the holidays.
I bought Serena’s Christmas book late in the summer and spent a lot of time going to second hand stores and estate sales looking for thermos bottles to decorate with! I decorated my porch to look like her friends in the book. Painted a cupboard green and cream and filled it with plaid picnic stuff and fresh greens and of coarse those thermos bottles! Have made her peanut butter balls and I’m going to make the snowball cookies this weekend. She inspires me…..
Fantastic website!! Heard about this great give-away on the Farm Chicks website! The S’mores Cupcakes sound delish!!
Loved it All!!
Love the smore cupcake idea
i love the whole site! Thank you for the chance to win the giveaway!
wow, I LOVE YOUR BLOG! everything. s’mores cupcakes. the cute country pantry photo. Will be back. Thank you so much.
I love, love, love the s,more cale recipe. It makes me want s’more!

Thanks for the giving me the chance to win!
Coming to this site is like setting down at your best friends table and savoring the time together!It’s always cozy, fun, interesting and there is always something good to drool over in recipes and dishes. This week it was fabulous to look back at Serena’s life and anticipate along with her the future! I think many of us are as excited as Serena to see her new home done! P.S the mini cupcake server is precious!!! And always love anything Farm Chciks!! Lori
Oh my goodness, glad I peeked into Serena’s blog this evening and now I am enjoying a hot cup of cocoa as I peruse through WWC & Amuse Bouche.
I also have been enjoying Dree’s book since summer.
What a wonderfuly comfortablly site to visit.
Merry Christmas.
The thing I’ve enjoyed most this week is finding out about your cool website and super cool giveaway!!!
I liked the s’mores cupcakes recipe and the cute cupcake apron picture!
I love the ideas…to make a kitchen, to cook, to just ….be….
I loved being introduced to Rachel’s blog and chocolate chip cookies recipe!
Great site. These are a few of my favorite things…….food, photos, crafting.
The antique look is great. I am dying to see what the recipe is that is hand written behind the 40 stickers.
Yum, what a fun websight, so happy to have found it! I’m enjoying all of the awesome pics!
I love my KA mixer, I’m entering in hopes of winning this one for my mom. Can’t wait to check out the rest of the website.
this is my first visit to Amuse-buche. Great site! Love it.
Wow, you have a great site with all things I love: food and photography. I have wanted a KA mixer for a long time. Thanks for the give away!
smore’s cupcakes, what else is there to say!
OMG… I love the site, but my favorite thing I learned this week was ” how to keep my whipped cream from seperating “. I swear you all amaze me… oh and what can I say about the jar labels?! TOO CUTE!!
I’m a country girl, living in town, love gardening, homecookin’, wishin’ I had room for cows and chickens but glad to read about women who have them and like pretty aprons, and also recognize the usefulness of a mason jar. This site and featured bios speaks to my heart.
The S’mores cupcakes. I’m going to have to make those for my mom. She loves anything S’mores.
That tip on keeping whipping cream from separating will be a lifesaver this holiday season. My family LOVES their real whipped cream (out of a can is a sin) on EVERYTHING, especially their tongues!!!
How fabulous a new mixer would be to help whip that cream too….
I’m totally inspired to make those s’more cupcakes. What a cute idea, Serena!
I would say Serena!!! LOVE her style!!
This is my first time on your site, I love it! I really like the picture of the pantry, it’s so organized!
What an awesome site this is, I would love to win a KA. I love your recipes!
Great site - very inspiring. I love the s’morecakes recipe. It looks delicious and I can’t wait to try it!
I like the post about the s’more cake recipe! Yum Oh and the post about the pantry. Well, there was more to that post, but I only remember the pantry. I dream about having a proper pantry.
i’ve enjoyed getting to see the great possibilities! thank you for the giveaway! so great merry christmas
I had never seen your blog before, but it’s bookmarked now!!! I think I may add the SMore cupcakes to my Christmas baking day coming up. They look adorable and delish! This is a WONDERFUL giveaway you are doing!
I loved the New York Chelsea Market stories.
Thanks for another great giveaway.
I can’t choose just one thing, I like all of what I saw. Please enter me! Thanks sooo much!
I have been following Serena’s blog for a few weeks now, and her blog led me to your site! As a very-beginning-cook, I expect to learn loads of information here! The pantry was my ultimate fav. Thanks for the opportunity to win!
I just tweeted! Enter me a second time!!

Oh.. how I loved Serena’s pictures of her home, I would love to win this mixer to give to my sweet daughter this Christmas..she would love it. Thank you for the opportunity.
Serena, love your pantry. Merry Christmas!
I just discovered your blog and love your jar labels. Enter me for the mixer and I’ll keep reading for all your great ideas!
I am so happy I found this website! Besides the absolutely perfect name, I loved reading about frugal and perfect ideas to decorate my home. The teapot is adorable and I clicked on a link that brought me to a story about a woman who kept a Christmas box with her mother’s writing on it until it fell apart, then turned the writing into plates for her and her sisters. I look at my parents’ writing and it is such a part of them and I thought that was a wonderful idea. I am looking forward to reading more!
I have truely enjoyed all the creative ideas of WWC this week and of course the 12 days of Christmas! I am hoping and wishing for this giveaway for my Mother In Law. She is a Farm Chick through and through. She was born and raised on a midwest farm with no indoor plumbing, she was “green” before it was popular, she loves to bake and craft, and best of all I have a Mother In Law who loves to go junkin’ and antiquing with me! I know she would love this mixer and will never buy one herself! I however, am hoping and wishing for all the little Farm Chick goodies, selfishly I would have to keep those for myself Great giveaway, whoever wins sure will be smiling! Happy Holidays and thanks!
I’ve enjoyed reading about Serena. What an inspiration! Her book looks fabulous and I’m going to see if I can find it in my local bookstore. Thanks for all your tips
The Smorescakes are adorable, would be really fun to make them with my girls!
Really liked the Life on the Prairie post.
Thank you so much for this wonderful giveaway!
Your blog is really taking off… Women do spend lots of time in their kitchens! I too, love the peek in the pantry! My kitchen really needs a pantry. A Kitchenaid mixer would look great in a new pantry!

I loved the bios featured on your site and the tips - especially the whipped cream tip from Serena.
I like the s’more cakes recipe you have posted. My daughter and think they are cute and want to try it. Thanks for the lovely giveaway and happy holidays!
I loved all the posts, but my favorite one is about Serena’s home and her ability to get fruit and vegetables at and around her house. We are in the process of buying a house on a lake and included is 3 acres of land that has a few blueberry bushes, plum trees and fig trees. We will also have raised beds and a small chicken coup. And of course there is fish in the lake to catch. I am so excited about my family being able to enjoy fresh things that we will work and produce from the land!! Serena’s post inspires, encourages and excites me even more about this adventure we are about to undertake.
Thanks so much for this wonderful giveaway. What a wonderful Christmas present!!
Blessings,
Robin
My favorite post was definitely the tip about how to keep your whipped cream from separating! I will be using that trick from now on. Thank you for the great giveaway!

I really appreciated the sugar cookie baking and decorating tips you posted from Tip Junkie. Always looking for ways to improve my cookies!
What cute things. I didn’t know that the FarmGirl Chicks sold all those goodies.
Oh my gosh a mixer……how sweet.
I loved the posts on Serena! And, those Smore Cupcakes look very yummy!
Love your site and everything about it! And what a wonderful give-away-love the Farm Chicks too!! The apple, pear and dried cranberry pie looks delish. So do the apple butter and the sliders, and, and, and…!!
I love the photographs!! And the recipes! Thank you for the awesome giveaway!!!!
I LOVE Serena’s pantry and her house! I’ve been a fan of hers for a long time. I love the new Where Women Cook. I’m so glad I was able to find a copy. It’s beutiful. Can’t wait for the next one to come out and see who is featured.
Wow! I love this site. I found it in a round about way today! I was looking on amazon for a gooseberry patch book for a friend then I saw Farm Chicks books listed as a suggestion. I “had” to go look at the blog (which is wonderful) which brought me here. I am so excited to find these blogs. I loved the S’more Cakes recipe-soo cute and fun to share! I am going to look into the new magazine for my friend-I think she’ll love it!
I am in love with the smore cakes and the featured pantry. I can’t wait to try them both out.
love love,
Fritzi Marie
What a great giveaway! I absolutely love Serena’s pantry picture - I wish mine were like that. Mine is more like the “I’m gonna pull my hair out b/c I don’t know where anything is” picture. And I can’t wait to try that smores cake recipe - they look fabulous!!
Wow, I think I am going to try the mushroom sliders since they look so good. I have only tried to cook a hamburger once in my life. Needless to say it didn’t go well. Thanks for making it seem simple.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
This is a great site!!
I was so excited to see the sweet ladies (Serena & Celeste) from Spokane-which is where I live-in the Where Women Cook! They really are Dears!
I love this post the most!!!
The tea set in this post is so cute!
I loved peeking at Serena’s pantry. So cute and even has a tiny Christmas tree! Mine never looks so organized and pretty. Jealous!!
I’d love to win the Kitchen Aid mixer. I love baking and my handheld mixer is starting to go. I work with a cooking class at the high school I work for. I love using their Kitchen Aid but it’s not likely I’ll be able to spare the money to buy my own anytime soon. Thanks for the chance to win!
Love the jar stickers
Oh, what I wouldn’t give for a pantry in the previous post!! I especially love the edging on the shelves.
wow! What I love about this site is that I found it! It is awesome! I can’t wait until I have more time to sit down and go through all of it!
Those smores cakes look pretty awsome! I may have to try making those.
I love the site and especially the honey hint for whipped cream. I live in Missoula, MT so we visit Spokane a few times a year, so the pictures of the area on the post about Serena were great to see. I hope I win, I’ve been stalking the Kitchen-Aid mixers all over town. The labels and cupcake stand are the bomb too.
Loved the site! First time but have added it to my favorites. The Kitchen-Aid would look great in my new kitchen and love all the Farm Chick Labels etc
I loved the s’mores cake recipe! I plan on making that one for a grateful group of teenagers very soon.
I love reading Serena’s biography. It is no wonder that she is such a wonderful, creative and caring person coming from such a great family. What treasured memories she has!
I LOVE the panty!!! Beautiful!
I adore Serena’s pantry! I would love to have it in my house. I also have to tell you that I have drooled all over kitchaid mixers for how many years—-and I still don’t have. What an awesome Christmas gift that would be!!
LOVE SERENA’S PANTRY!
THANKS FOR SHARING!
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL !
Would love to win anything from Serena, but love that little pink plate. Her book would be delightful too.
What a giveaway…love those stickers and the pantry makes me swoon, but favorite part is the quote, “And I love sweets the best.” Well said. I couldn’t agree more!
I love the pictures of those yummy sweets! And the aprons. Oh, how I adore cute aprons!

What have I loved about “When Women Cook” ? Everything about Serena!! I love her sense of style and bubbly personality, which comes out in every item published about her!
The organized pantry and the super-cute cupcake “cake” stand. I’m thinking of a tea party with my 5-year-old princess.
First time visitor…so many wonderful things here. I took a looky around and seen the super organized Pantry…and I have been inspired to organize mine before Christmas if possible! Thanks, I’ll be visiting often!

Love seeing Serena’s kitchen and her whip cream and honey suggestion.
Oh my, oh my…all the recipes are tempting, but I will choose the Individual Spaghetti Pies because I often feed a bunch of college kids that I know will devour those. Serena, I live just across the highway from you and love your style. You inspire me.

I love the mini cupcake stand-sooo cute. What’s not to love about ALL of it!
I just came across Amuse-Bouche from A Southern Fairytale and love everything about it! I will probably be browsing all morning now…
What a nice give a way the week before Christmas. My fingers are crossed that the person that really needs these goodies the most will be the one that you chose.
Great tip on homemade whipped cream.
I enjoyed Serena’s home tour and a bit envious of her new home surrounded by so many wonderful farms. Maybe a move in my near future to the country.
Serena’s home…..stunn—-ing~!
I’ve enjoyed the s’morescake recipe! So sweet and perfect for the little ones to enjoy a summer treat during these cold winter days!
I loved Serena’s home! Gorgeous!

serena, pics & s’mores! thanks for the chance of this amazing giveaway!!
I had never heard of Picky Palate, loved the recipes!
Love the Picky Palate and THIS blog - my first time this week on both!
I always love reading about Serena, she is so talented! I just discovered this blog while looking for the magazine (I attended the creative connection in Mpls and learned about the magazine there).
You know what I loved this week? The photo of your pantry! All those cheerful colors, the sense of design, the holiday accents…and the food, of course. If you’d shown me 25 photos of pantries I would have known this was yours. Loved it!
I love the photos, the layout and the great tips!
I loved the pix of Serena’s house. Thank you for the inspiration!
I enjoyed seeing Serena’s tidy pantry (unlike mine during this busy baking season)and looking at the pictures of her yummy treats.
Beautiful inspiring blog!
I love meeting all the awesome food bloggers. Picky Palate is one of my favorites.
I enjoyed the life on the prairie photography. That pantry is so cute! And the S’more cupcakes looks delicious!
What do I love about this blog…it is wonderful..featuring some great recipes and inspiration. It is hard to choose where to begin, my recipe book is going to be filled to the brim with all of the great ideas.
I tweeted about the giveaway here: http://twitter.com/#!/darbyart/status/16630741022547969

I love the bio on Serena and I will definitely be following her. Loved Ree so much I bought her cookbook!
I have just found your website and love it! I love a good Kitchen aid, i am already blessed to have one but would love to give it to my mom, who by the way is a woman who cooks and enjoys feeding her kids and grandkids. She has never had a kitchen aid. I would however keep the farm chicks stuff for my self! SOOOO cute!
Just tweeted about it!

I have enjoyed reading more about Serena and her childhood memories of learning to cook on a wood stove. I also live in the Spokane area and am a BIG fan of Farm Chicks. Thanks also for featuring Jenny of Picky Palate…I am anxious to try some of her recipes.
Absolutely can’t wait to try the s’mores cakes! I love fun-looking creative desserts when entertaining. And they look fairly simple to do!
PERFECT. Because I was just making cookies — using my hand mixer that only has one mixer left. The other broke!! I love the smore cupcakes. YUM.
I loved Serena’s post on living in the prairie. And those adorable aprons in the last photo. I love this blog and I would just about faint if I won a Kitchen Aid stand mixer!! I don’t tweet so hopefully one entry will be the lucky number for me!
dearest santas at WWC,
i have been good this year. i clean up my crafty messes and i make things and surprise friends with presents. i would really like everything showcased very much.

Hello! Hot Chocolate Cupcakes Baby! Also, love learning more about Serena.
I just found your site linked over from Farm Chicks…Love It! I have been in the market for a mixer and the whole prize package looks like a lot of fun!
Serenas pantry makes me smile too-I love its order and whimsy; and since I have a few weeks off for Christmas, I think I’ll try to fix my pantry up so it’ll make me smile too. But what would really make me smile is that KitchenAid mixer! If I won that mixer I’d toss my circa 1978 avocado green hand mixer with the plastic attachments in the trash and really get to mixin with that fancy one. Oh the things I would mix…Thanks for the fabulous giveaway!
Okay, so I’m officially hungry after checking out this blog! The individual spaghetti pies are something I have never thought of but can’t wait to try, and the hot chocolate cupcake cups would be a great dessert after the spaghetti. My mouth is watering! Thanks!
Serena’s S’morecakes look delicious! Also, I love her simple farmhouse lifestyle & have to check her blog often to see what’s happening.
I love the website and omgosh Picky Palate’s Hot Chocolate Cupcakes look amazing!
Just bought “Where Women Cook” and then followed the web-site and “Farm Chicks” to this fantastic give away! Been a MJB fan and Pioneer Women fan for years! Awesome Women!
I love when things are neat…and so pretty…love the shelf paper and borders in the pantry..even ordinary items can look lovely
The S’morecakes look so yummy! Also think the Hot Chocolate Cupcakes look fun. What a great giveaway!
I love your new magazine. I am loving everything about your website too, especially the tip about whipped cream.
I love THIS post- not only the giveaway (hehe) but that darling tea set with the stacking cups- love! Thanks for the chance to win!
New to this site and are so excited to read more. Would like to try some of Picky Palates recipes…so much to do and so little time!!
I love the s’mores cake post! My sister is a huge s’mores lover, so I know exactly what I will be making for her next birthday!
Love this giveaway! Here’s my tweet:

I love the new recipes on such a beautiful website!! I am definately going to try Serena’s Utah Au Gratin Potatoes….Thank you!!!

Here’s my tweet:

Loved the S’mores cupcakes and the whipped cream tips.
Thanks so much for offering this. I am new to this website, but my mixer died about a week ago and I went to CVS to buy another- ugh, no good, but Christmas is upon us and I try my best. Hope to win something better. Merry Merry! Deb
There’s something so intimate with getting to know someone via the kitchen. Maybe it’s because all the family recipes and heritage, or the passion for food, but it’s been fabulous getting recipes and tips. (And to find a new blog to follow!)
…unfortunately I’ve been craving marshmallow fluff for a few days now because of you.
I learned that they have a magazine. I just found this site-looks intriguing.
I loved the pictures of Serena’s life on the prairie in Washington state. I grew up in Washington and just love seeing pictures of all the things to love about Washington now that I don’t live there anymore!
Love the tips, recipes and Serena sharing her life! I would love to win the mixer so I could give it to my daughter!
I really loved reading more about The Farmchick’s life! It’s my dream life! She’s very blessed!
liked the info on keep whipping cream from seperating
It’s been said, but it’s oh-so-true — seeing that gorgeously stocked and organized pantry kind of changed my life. I’ve already begun the process of moving and reorganizing - realizing now how preposterous some of my old organization methods were.
And, boy, those pantry labels would sure be helpful… =]
But, really, thanks for the great giveaway! Good luck, all!
I loved Serena’s pantry!!!
I just tweeted and my kitchen aid just broke.

Oh, hands down I love the photo of the pantry with shelf paper. Brings back memories of my grandma’s kitchen. Hard to tell, but is the shelf paper seasonal??? Isn’t that the sweetest touch.
I loved your note about home made marshmallows being so worth the effort. I have been wanting to make some for quite a while. Today, because I’m working at home, I will spend my lunch break doing just that!
I love Serena’s kitchen, too.
And I love this giveaway!

I am always so excited when Serena introduces her Farm Chick Fans to lovely new sites! As Christmas grows near I am seized by a need to declutter and organize before our household is blessed with MORE! Serena’s pantry inspired me to get busy in the kitchen first! Looking forward to future visits to Amuse Bouche!
The teapot with two stacking cups is right up my alley. My daughter and I love stacking dolls and this would definitely enhance our collection!
Oh my gosh im drooling! The mixer is on the top of my christmas list, but i don’t think santa is bringing it
Thanks for the opp!

I really enjoyed the guest post from Serena, and Rachel’s Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe, and Jenny’s Individual Spaghetti Pie is definitely something I will put on my family’s menu! Crossing my fingers in your contest - I have been yearning for a KitchenAid Mixer and one of the Farm Chicks books!
I TOTALLY love all the sharing of ideas.. you rock the ideas this week!
Love the website for its aesthetics and design.
What a blessing it would be to win the mixer - I’ve never had it in our budget to splurge on one for myself. Merry Christmas to you and your family. I love your website as well - delicious ideas.
Would love to win….thanks for the great offer!!

I love the Holiday S’mores with the gingerbread cookies! Merry Christmas!
The Honeyed Apple Peanut Butter Tart photo was so homey that I knew this blog had to be added to my favorite list. Thanks!
Thanks for the wonderful Brie recipe and congrats on the TV appearance!
LOVE this post!! My favorite is the pink cupcake stand. In a house full of boys, I throw in pink whenever I can get away with it!!!
I love that I’ve found a new blog to read and I LOVE that pink cupcake stand!!
I must say I am a sucker for cute aprons!
Yeah for Farm Chicks
I absolutely am jealous of Serena’s home and I can’t wait to make the spaghetti pie for my boyfriend. Maybe I can convince him to help me make homemade marshmallows….. yummy gooey love.
Having attended the Farm Chicks Show for the past several years, I loved seeing Serena featured on this site!!!
My favorite has been the tips for recipe hoarders!! I am doing it! So far I’ve got all of my recipes grouped by topic (eggs, desserts, holiday, etc.) with each topic in a separate sleeve. It could take a Very long time to get each in it’s own sleeve!
Hands down, my favorite post of the past week was the tip on how to keep your whipped cream from separating. It makes sense in a way after I thought about it, but I probably never would have! I will definitely be doing this for Christmas goodies this year!
I tweeted about this too!

I’m so excited to find your website. I can’t wait to try the granola recipe and look into some of the Farm Chicks recipes. I love, love the little teapot and stacking cups.
I love your Tools,Tips and Tricks…..and little granddaughters who would love the goodies you are giving away, and Nana sure wouldn’t mind claiming that fabulous mixer! Merry Christmas all!
This is a new site for me and have really enjoyed each post. I have followed Farm chicks for a while and Serena’s inspiration is fun. The Picky pantry post also looked very inspirational with clever and fun ideas. Thank you for a chance to win.
Just finished a gooey and oh so delicious salted carmel thumprint cookie. My daughter and I enjoyed the treat after sledding outside! Thanks for the recipe! Look forward to creating many more memories with the tips found on this fabulous site!
Love it all! Going to try the choc chip cookies and would just love to win the mixer
Love the great recipes… with wonderful photos!! Awesome giveaway!
Great give away and great website. Really enjoying it!
I absolutely adore the s’morecakes. I’ve got graham crackers and marshmallows in the pantry just begging to part of one of those yummy little treats!

I love how much information you have and when you showcase other food blogs. I see so much I’d never find on my own.
I have loved following Serena on her blog and in her books for some time - I loved seeing her kitchen and how clean and open everything is — I would love to have a space like that in my kitchen!!
I enjoyed reading about Ree, she seems so down to earth and humble, and she is very, very funny! I am just wandering around on your site today because I linked from her blog!
I LOVE that pantry and adore The Farm Chicks…and Ree! Love Ree! Who am I kidding, I enjoyed it all. Blessings to you, Sonya

I tried the hot chocolate that was featured in yesterday’s post. So very yummy.
Loved the whip cream tip! I have never heard that before and think it was awesome! Also think the Baked Brie recipe is sure to become a holiday favorite!!
Well, I just found the site! I love the giveaway and this looks like someplace where I should come regularly. Also, that pink cake stand is adorable!
Love the overall look but really, really love the Holiday S’mores - yummmmmm!

I love the links to Facebook, Twitter, etc. because they look like old time stamps. How’dya do that? So pretty, like everything else!
Hard to choose just one thing I enjoyed, but especially liked learning the tip for whipped cream. Who knew honey would be the solution? Thanks!
I just found this site and I so love it. I had cooking more on my 2010 list and I am going to extend it for 2011. I love that you are doing give aways!
they look absolutely yummy!
I would love to win these lovely giveaway items. Thank you for entering my name, finger’s crossed here!
Love the site…but my most favorite thing was finding the phyllo-wrapped Brie recipe. One of my girlfriends made this for a bunch of us not once but twice during a retreat a couple of years ago. I got her recipe and then list it. Got it again…and lost it. I was too embarrasses to ask for it again. So thank you for saving me embarrassment AND helping me recreate something that has fond memories attached to it.
I loved the beautiful photos on Serena Thompson’s post.
Reposted the giveaway, however my tweets are protected. But here’s my Twitter address. http://twitter.com/carolinacowgirl
Who doesn’t love a good smore especially in cake.
Love your magazines!!
Amazing site - thanks so much for all the inspiring ideas - amazing!
I don’t tweet or twitter but could crow pretty loud about your entire site. I’m a farm chick at heart and believe there is always time to recreate yourself with a little good inspiration. Thanks for that.
wow, fantastic prizes!!
Loved the choc chip cookie dough post and the tips on whipping cream!!
I have been a long time fan of The Farm Chick, Jo, Where Women Create. Where Women Cook and The Amuse Bouche are just one more thing to add to my list of GO TO blogs and websites for inspiration.
Thank you for always inspiring!
I just found this site via Where Women Create on facebook and so far I LOVE this post! (my birthday is tomorrow and this would be an excellent b-day gift!!!) Thanks for having this giveaway! Now to check out the rest of this site!
I love read or your tips and tricks and love the story on The Farm Chicks, I have tried getting the The Farm Chicks Christmas book but it seems it’s sold out in some place waiting to be restocked…so some hits would be great where too….arrr the Kitchen aid I have dreamt of owning one of these for about three years now, I’m still using my nanna handheld one, christmas time is hard to make all my handmade gifts with it as I have to do one batch at a time…lol…I also normally make 30 to 40 large gingerbread house’s every year to sell and to give away…but sadley I didn’t this year as using that tiny little handheld mixer wouldn’t cope with the pressure anymore so gingerbread house …one day I will own one of those beautiful mixer, and baking will be lot more easier…lol great giveaway…love reading evrything here!

I am sooo glad you are doing this! I love the Create magazine and struggle with cooking so didn’t think i would be into this but wow, I love this! The spaghetti pies are a must do, as are the hot choc cupcakes, the baked brie. Please consider doing healthy stuff too as my personal trainer will kick my butt for making these!

As a large gal, I LOVE the recipes and photos! I need to stop licking the screen though, heh.
I’ve just started reading the blog - really enjoying all the interesting articles and looking at the beautiful photos!
Oh and I just tweeted this! And why does the time stamp say 351am? It’s 954pm. Weird.
Reading about Serena’s beginnings as a young hippy was rivaled only by comments by others here! Oh for time to read even more…but I need to schedule that 4 layer cake from week before last I think it was. Great site! Thanks for sharing!
I have major pantry envy! I love all the photos that you have on this site as well. Helps me to start building my dream kitchen in my head. (the only way I can afford to buildbit right now!)
I love that you make your food, your Ideals and your website so family oriented. Food is about family. As much as I love to cook using very old and Hand written family receipts, I don’t have the time I used to have before. when I do find or make the time cook a special dish, I look to add to our Family collection like your Hot chocolate cupcake….Mmmmm. Glenda
LOOOVE the Gingerbread Egg Nog cookie sandwich idea! So easy and so tasty!
What a wonderful site. I am going to make the Brie with a jalapeno raspberry sauce for Christmas. Sounds great. Thanks so much

Great giveaway! Thanks for the heads up, Loralee!

I just tweeted. Wish me luck Santa!!! Lol.
Oh My Heavens, Hot Chocolate Cupcakes! How can you combine such deliciousness without breaking a law? These are drool worthy.
I have to say I’m in love with the idea of Smorescakes! I usually make my own marshmallows, and instead of pouring them into a pan, what about piping them onto these cupcakes, and when they cool and dry dipping them and adding the graham cracker! Mmmm This is going on my list of to make!
The jar stickers are GREAT! I have loved everything!
I tweeted it!
I never thought of doing baked brie with the puffed pastry instead of phyllo dough. I’ll have to try that next time.
I absolutely love the Hot Chocolate Cupcakes idea from Picky Palate. Definitely going to be treating my kids to those this Christmas.
I love reading about Rachel!
I loved discovering the Farm Chicks and she lives here in WA! Now I’m off to go look up her cookbooks…
The site looks stunning! May I hire you? Truly? And I have always wanted one of those mixers.
smores cupcakes look so so good!
Farm Chick’s Christmas is so cute! Their meringue stars are awesome.
I’m totally trying the gingerbread s’mores you made, Loralee. They look divine. Time to whip up some more marshmallows. Which would be even cooler with a new Kitchenaid. Just sayin’.
And here’s my tweet. <a href:"http://twitter.com/#!/hairyshoefairy/status/17469762036568064"
The jar stickers are my absolute favorites! LOVE this website!
This is pure awesomeness! The site is AMAZEBALLS! And, of course I would love a new Kitchenaid!!
