A Give-Away Book... And A New Look!

I have to tell you about my new favorite book,  Milk Cow Kitchen.  This book is written by MaryJane Butters...  The MaryJane that publishes MaryJanesFarm magazine and other things.  This is no skinny little book... it is 400 pages that hold your interest on Every.Single.Page.  

It is a cookbook, but not only a cook book.

It's full of all the ins and outs of making your own ice cream, yogurt, butter, cheeses, sour cream... but not only that.

It's beautiful photography, awesome stories, fun cow decor ideas, farm tips (like how to tie a hitchin' rail knot).

It's got sweet stories and pictures on cowgirl romance...

...and milkmaid fashion.  I'm not kidding you, there are step by step instructions on how to comb your hair in the milkmaid look!

I tried to do my grand-daughter Jillian's hair in milkmaid fashion but we only had time for a very quick practice run.  But she loved it, so did I, and we'll be doing it again soon!  (I also tried combing Rosy's hair in the same way, but she's only 3 and her hair was a little too fine to stay in place.  It really upset her.  She said, "But I'm a Farmgirl too"!)


This book has absolutely every pointer you could ever need about purchasing, owning, and caring for your own milk cow.


It's one of those books that is so much fun to read because even on the pages with recipes, there are tidbits of information that you never knew!  And some very neat quotes and sayings.  Every page is a surprise.

And one of the best things of all?  I think I have a Milk Cow Kitchen because this book looks awesome in it!  (Smile!)

 I've had it on display in my kitchen for a couple months and everyone that walks in, picks up the book, takes a glance inside and then heads to the recliner to read it.  It is that good.

You remember that I'm the Ranch Farmgirl blogger for MaryJanesFarm?  So, I asked MaryJane if she would send me a book for a give-away here on my blog.  And YAY!  She had it in the mail for me before I could blink.


So, in celebration of a new look to my blog, a new year, and new ideas....  I've got an awesome give-away for you!  It's a beautiful autographed copy of Milk Cow Kitchen from Mary Jane!


In case you are thinking that you don't want a milk cow, won't ever have a milk cow, or aren't interested in a milk cow....  please enter this giveaway anyway, because I PROMISE you that you'll love this book.  (And you'll want a milk cow after reading it too!)


All you have to do to enter is leave a comment here on my blog.  Just any ole comment will do.  It doesn't have to do with milk cows, cook books, or my new blog design... (but I'd love your input on that, by the way)!


This giveaway is open until next Friday - January 23rd - and I will ship priority to any address in the United States.

Good luck, and may the best Milkmaid win!  (That would be you!)
