Between juggling our work schedules and balancing school with practices... we're all pretty wiped out. Although it's a lot of work, I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving.

Fabulous.

Winner #4 - Comment 2 from Marnely
Marnely went all out and earned herself bonus entries by tweeting about the giveaway and for posting the link to the post on Facebook. Doing that paid off because she snagged herself a subscription to Better Homes and Gardens. Her choice of recipe? The Fish Tacos with Cabbage and Chile Pepper Slaw. I see everyone's looking for dishes that will work in the summer heat!

Winner #5 - Comment 11 from Dahlia
Dahlia also took advantage of the bonus entry situation and one the last prize by tweeting about the giveaway.  She chose the Fruited Pumpkin Loaf, which sounds like it would be perfect for breakfast, lunch, or afternoon tea. If you're into that sort of thing.

Thanks to all who entered and congratulations to the winners! Look for an email from me in the next couple of days -- I'll need your mailing addresses. If you didn't win this time around, don't be too sad. I'm planning a few more giveaways over the next few months. Stay tuned!
