Happy Birthday to me :: Cookbook Giveaway #5

All week I'm wrapping up my favorite new cookbooks - some aren't even available in stores yet - and giving them to you.  Don't worry - they are all new cookbooks.  I haven't spilled on them, written in them, or even dropped them.  They are my gift to you for celebrating my birthday with me.  Blog style.

The final giveaway in my little birthday week celebration is the charming Basic to Brilliant, Y'all by Virginia Willis.  This book is so perfect for me.  (And you)  It features 150 recipes - all classic southern recipes - and almost everyone has a way to dress up the classic to make it something fancy.  Most of the transformations are simple enough that you could make it fancy on a Tuesday night, not just for company.  

I really love this book.  I'm having a hard time parting with it.  But I know you will love it too.


Here's how to win :: click here and be my friend on Facebook then comeback and leave a comment with your favorite thing to do on your birthday.  Or leave the comment first, then head to Facebook.  Either way.

Comments must be published by midnight September 16, 2011.   A winner will be chosen at random by number drawing and notified via email.
