Pie Triumphs!!!! and How My Readers Can Win Free Stuff!

So if you live in SLC, you have probably heard of Orson Gygi.  For those of you who live out of state, Orson Gygi is Salt Lake's premier culinary store.  You want great supplies for cake and candy making, it's there.  How about a wall of cookie cutters? Yep, that's there too.  Looking for restaurant quality cookware or just that hard to find kitchen gadget?  You're going to find it there.  And on top of all that, you can have them design your dream kitchen, then have them build it for you!  Basically, it's a cook's Nirvana.

Well, last week they had a Not Your Mama's Non-Traditional Pie Contest.  They were looking for unusual pie recipes just in time for Thanksgiving.  They would select 5 winners, publish the recipes and link back to the winner's blogs.  So since I run a blog that was founded on some pie recipes, I thought "why not send some in?".  So I wrote up a pair of quick e-mails and submitted the Peanut Butter Cup Pie and the Peppermint Fudge Pie, just to see if one would break through.

We received the results of the contest yesterday..... and we won.... TWICE!!!!

Yes, they loved them both and we're going to have the recipes posted on their blog Thursday and Friday!  Click here for a link to their blog to see the results.

And yes, I won a prize for the winning pies.  Now since you all are avid readers and have given me great support over the year, the least I can do is show my gratitude to you this holiday season.

So I'm announcing our big Christmas Present Giveaway!  Yes, we'll be giving away a couple of different prizes to Facebook friends this month, which we'll announce over the next couple weeks.  But the first prize we'll reveal is a $20 gift certificate to Orson Gygi!  We'll draw for winners on December 23rd and announce the winners on the site.  So how do you qualify for these great gifts???

1.  If you are already a Facebook friend, congratulations, you're already entered into the contest.
