The winner will be announced on Monday evening!


It's our 1st Blog-Aversary!
Today we celebrate a year of delicious posts and lessons learned!
We discovered how to add the printable link to our blog,
to take better pics
{and how important a good pic is!},
be more adventurous with new ingredients,
and how to conquer challenges!!
The Peppered Pantry
thanks all of our drooling and faithful readers;
so we have assembled a unique and exciting prize for one lucky winner!

***

This giveaway was inspired by Food Network-which is
a huge inspiration to us!! The lucky winner
will receive an assortment of
Paula Deen goodies including a
ceramic bread pan, wooden spoon, Cinnamon
Essence spice and onion sea salt spice!!
We also have included a classic oven mitt...just cuz it is cute!!
Another passion of ours is scrap-booking so
we thought a handmade cook book with all the recipes that we
have posted throughout our first year
would be a perfect addition
to the prize package!


To enter the contest just leave a comment stating your favorite
recipe from The Peppered Pantry and
whether you have tried it yet or plan to in the future!

All entries need to be made by 12 noon pst on Thursday, March 3rd!
