Because We Love You

Because Valentine’s Day is around the corner and because–while some of us have our own sweethearts and some of us don’t—we love our slow cookers and our Facebook and blog community very much, we’re giving away a Hamilton Beach 5½-Quart Slow Cooker and a full set of the Fix-It and Forget-It Cookbooks to one (1) lucky, random winner!
The best feature of the Hamilton Beach 5½-Quart Slow Cooker is that the removable stainless steel crock is stovetop safe. That means you can brown meat or onions and garlic in this crock right on the stove and then place the crock straight into the slow cooker! Anything that cuts back on the pots and pans we need to wash is just fine with us.
It also has a stainless steel exterior, a glass lid, and a warm setting that keeps food nice and hot without overcooking it.
And if you need a few ideas of what to make in that shiny new slow cooker, we’re giving away the entire Fix-It and Forget-It Cookbook series along with it. That’s 7 books in all! The series includes:
1) Fix-It and Forget-It Cookbook Revised and Updated
2) Fix-It and Forget-It Lightly Revised and Updated
3) Fix-It and Forget-It 5-Ingredient Favorites
4) Fix-it and Forget-It Christmas Cookbook
5) Fix-It and Forget-It Diabetic Cookbook
6) Fix-It and Forget-It Kids’ Cookbook
7) Fix-It and Forget-It Big Cookbook.
Phyllis will autograph them and even personalize them, if you wish.
(Hamilton Beach doesn’t know how much we love you or that we’re celebrating you by giving away one of their nifty slow cookers.)

My daughter
The best gift and greatest gift is Jesus! Then would could come the gift of unconditional love from my husband and 3 children. Of course, a close third would be my old crockpot that really needs to be replaced and updates!
The best gift I’ve ever received is my family
Life…..Thank MOM!!!! Without that I would never have the family and loved ones I have today!!
The best gift I’ve ever received are my two wonderful (by trying) children. I wouldn’t trade them for anything!!
My new set of T-Fal pans!
My children are the best gift and now that I have chronic pain the best gift they give me is help without me asking.
A beautiful life with great family and friends.
All of my Mill Creek statues!
The best give I’ve ever received is my husband. He is a true blessing in my life and I am forever grateful to his parents for raising him to be the man he is.
What’s the best gift anyone has ever given you?
My children. My husband and I have 5 beautiful children ranging in age from 10 down to 10 months. We lost one son at birth, and another son at 2.5 from Cancer. Going through that with him was tough but it made our bond strong.
My 2 girls are the best gift. And one daughter gave me a fabulous grand-daughter.
The best gift, anyone has ever given me, was my G. Grandmother, teaching me how to cook and sew. That gift has lasted 20+ years and is still going strong!
The best gift I’ve ever been given has to be my “sanity” weekends that I get to take every once in a while. The hubby sends me on my way with girlfriends for a few days of recharging so I can come home and be a better wife and mother!
my 2 wonderful daughters
Hello, the best gift I ever got was my husband, and with him all things are possible – including our two children!!
The best gift I have ever received is my husband’s love–without that I would not have my 2 boys and the life I have now.
My family!!!
The BEST gift we ever received was a trip to Alaska for our 35th Anniversary…flight, land tour, cruise….AMAZING….truly the trip and
gift of a life time….
Thanks for the opportunity to win a slowcooker and all the great cookbooks!
My 3 beautiful children, and this year, a new DSLR camera that I want to start using to take more pictures of my kids with, and maybe some food I’ve been cooking
The best gift ever was my husband who I reconnected with 16 years ago and have been happily married for 15 years and our 2 beautiful kid’s who are 12 and 7!!!!!
..my salvation!…and my family!
My Kitchenaid mixer!
A CD my daughter made for me the Christmas she was 15. It was creative and straight from her heart!
So many to choose from! Probably the most recent one would be being able to stay at home with my girls. Esp recently with my youngest and her health issues. My husband is a rock star for taking on all that responsiblity.
Love!
My Keruig coffee pot…. LOVE IT
The best gift I received was on Christmas Day, 1978, while ski-touring for two extremely cold weeks (never got above minus 30 during the trip) in Yellowstone Park. I was given freshly baked cinnamon rolls for breakfast — warm, tasty, and kept me warm, too.
The best gift I was ever given was the love of cooking that my grandmother instilled in my at the tender age of 4. She is now gone but that love is something I will carry with me for the rest of my life.
Generally, anything that has to do with cooking is a “favorite” gift. This year for Christmas I got a Raclette Party Grill! YAY! I’m so excited with it.
The best gift I ever had was a wonderful, loving mother. From her, I learned good values and morals, which I’ve passed to my daughters. I am thankful to still have my Mom, and am devoted to making her life enjoyable.
Best gift. My family and our health.
Grandchildren!!!
The best gift I ever got was my mother, I truely am blessed to have such a stong woman as my role model.
The best gift I have been given? My husband and his daughter. They are always on my heart and mind.
my son’s life, he almost died twice, but the dr’s never gave up! <3
It’s a gift my husband gives to me everyday, unconditional love and support, 24/7 : )
The best gift I ever received was my husband…after being a single woman for 42 years…I found the love of my life and have now been happily married for 7 months. I also received three sons and a bull-dog in this wonderful package deal, so I do A LOT of cooking now.
One of the best gifts I have ever received is the gift of being love by my family and friends! <3 Thank you!

My son is definitely the best gift I’ve ever received!
I love my donut maker. The kids and I make all kinds of crazy donuts.
The best gift I have ever received was on Valentine’s Day 1987, that’s the day our son was born!!!!
