This post may contain affiliate links.

Four years ago today, I started my blog.  It’s my 4 year blogoversary. As part of my celebration of this milestone and to thank my readers, I am providing a giveaway of a few of my favorite things for one lucky reader.  The giveaway will include:

My 4 Year Blogoversary | realmomkitchen.com
  • a copy of my cookbook – this includes recipes that can not be found here on the blog.
  • a cookie scoop – which I use for more than just cookies.  It is great to add cupcake batter to your muffin pans, make meatballs, scoop whipped cream, etc.
  • A set of pans with lids – one is the sheet pan size which I use for many sweet treats!  The other is a 9 x 13 size. This is perfect if you don’t need to feed a crowd and just want to make half a recipe.  I also love that they come with these great snap on lids for easy transportation. These are a must to any kitchen.

To enter my 4 year blogoversary giveaway, just leave a comment telling me what you love about my blog or how you found my blog.  You will have an entire week to enter.  You will have unto Wednesday April 25 at midnight (MST) to enter.  

Laura

  46. I don’t remember how I found your blog (it was a couple of years ago) but I love the family friendly recipes that use ingredients I normally buy!

  47. I been reading you bog for about 2 years now, I love the way you keep your recipes simple. It easy too understand and made with ingredients that are already on hand. Reading your blog, and a few others I love, is one of the reason I’m starting my own blog. Happy Blogoversary !! and many many more. I hope my bog would be as good. Thank you for inspiring me.

  48. I love all the recipes and I have been following you for a short while now. I have saved most of them. I found your blog when I was reading another food blog.

My favorite recipe that I found from your blog with the sweet pork (Cafe Rio) for tacos or quesadillas- I’ve made it at least once a month since I found it and there is great rejoicing throughout the land when my family walks in the door and smells it. It will be feeding the starving campers at Girls Camp this summer. Thanks!

  56. I love how family friendly your recipes are as well as the fact that I usually have most of the ingredients on hand. Or know what they are so I can find them at the store. I also recently found out about your daugther and I have a son with special needs, and that usually makes me more inclined to stick around knowing what you do, and still make amazing recipes 🙂
