Bake at 350 Spring Cookie Giveaway!

Congratulations to New Momma at 9 Months and Beyond!  You won! Please email me your address!  Thanks everyone for entering. And make sure you visit my neighbor to learn how to make your own cookies. I'm going to attempt it myself!!

I think God must really like me.
Remember when I told y'all about my new next door neighbor......the creative lady who Bakes at 350?

Well. She's been letting me taste-test some of her treats!

And I hold her completely responsible for the way I will look in a bathing suit this summer.

The other day we had dinner at their adorable house (I'd love to show y'all pictures of her cute home, but it seemed a little rude to snap my camera over pasta). We feasted on spaghetti and meatballs, Caesar salad with hand-made, heart-shaped croutons and this for dessert.

I'm thinking I won't be able to get by with Girl Scout Cookies again when I invite them back to my house.

But I also won't be baking up my own cookies.

Need I remind you she makes these:


And these:

Today is your lucky cloverleaf-shaped day! 


Because one lucky winner will win A DOZEN handmade, delicious Spring cookies!! (Value $42) And she's pulling out a new Spring cookie cutter just for you, so I'm sure it will be AMAZING!

Go look around her blog and leave a comment telling me how lucky I am so have such a great neighbor!

Oh, and I reserve the right to taste one of your cookies, just to make sure you're receiving the highest quality.

Kidding.

Sort of.

U.S. shipping only and this giveaway closes Wednesday night!

Who doesn't love a good cookie?! You are lucky.

Sarah said...

Oh my sweet deliciousness!! I would break down her door if I smelled those lemon scones!!

I've always wanted to try making scones. I'm quite positive mine would not be so pretty.

Beautiful! How come my cookies never turn out that pretty???

flourgirl said...

I found your blog through Bridget's blog. Why don't I get so lucky in the neighbor department? =)

The Witte Zoo said...

Your neighbor is a good neighbor to have...:)

Becky said...

Any houses for sale in "THAT FAMILY'S" neighborhood? HA!

What a fun street to live on...and pretty, pretty please count me in for the cookie giveaway! YUMM-O ;)

Judy said...

I've had her bookmarked in my feedreader since you mentioned her as your neighbor! And, I've favorited one of her recipes - that brownie with the caramels inside...mmmmmm!!! Once Lent is over, I am so making those!

Thanks for the great giveaway!

Unknown said...

I have also been reading her blog since you posted it before. My goodness, the woman has some talent, or as my 7 year old would say, "She's got skills!" I can't even make plain old sugar cookies, much less beautiful ones like hers!

Rebecca said...

Send them my way, please! We colored our lemonade green and have the Irish Stew in the crock pot. The kids and I are about to make cut-out cookies this afternoon...but wait! No shamrock cutter in the house?! Oh me, oh my...I think I need to be rescued!

Anonymous said...

The pink poodles are adorable. The shamrock cookies look delicious. Too bad she didn't move to WV. I'm jealous. You are blessed indeed.

Sharilyn said...

Really nice neighbor you have! Try to get those snapshots up sometime of her cute little home! Thanks for your cute blog too. I have been blessed by it.

Michelle said...

Awesome! I found her through your blog and now I follow you both. She does amazing work!

Tim, Allyson, and kids said...

Wow, what a great neighbor! The cookies are so beautiful I might not be able to eat them. Just joking, I'm sure I'd manage somehow.

Allison said...

I love her blog! I've followed it since you first announced the two you were neighbors. I'd love to have her as a neighbor (or you for that matter!) I'm hoping she can help me bake better. Thanks for the contest!

Libby said...

Yum! You're luck to be her next door neighbor...those look delicious!

megan said...

Oy! Who cares if I'm on a diet?? I wanna win!! =)

I'm pretty sure having a neighbor that's a blogger AND a baker is pretty much the best thing ever. I love Bake At 350!

Anonymous said...

Okay Kristen! Yoru blog is always the icing on the cookie! And I love your neighbors blog too! She has inspired me. But I have to share something with you about the Amazing Grace of God! I know, you already know!

I use your blog as a sort of daily devotion about God, Husbands and Children...today I want to pay you back...

I had a horrible weekend in the midst of wonderful. Our 7 year old daughter was baptized on Sunday ( Amazing and joyous) and lets just say that my relationship is not what yours is with parents. after a termendous time spent losing my self esteem because of overbearing family that drove 10 hours to celebrate, I was exhausted, they hit the road and I was ready to complain and vent. I met with friends at church for our biweekly preschool playtime, and a lady walked in. Our group was the only in the church and she walked up to our director and asked for someone to pray with her. Wow! I was given the priveledge and God set me straight! I am so blessed and received so much from being of service to someone truly in need. My venting turned instead to praise and my broken heart was healed. ALl because of someone in need! I just wanted to share, thanks for reading!

Anna said...

Baking blogs are the best. And living next door to someone who HAS to bake regularly? Amazing. Just consider it your duty to test everything before she posts.

Crayl said...

I totally subscribed. Look at all the funyumminess! Because, you know, I need 83 blogs to read, and yet another reason to bake and not lose weight! You're killing me Kristen, but I still love you for it. :)

Melanie @ Whimsical Creations said...

WOW!! That is my kind of neighbor. Wish I lived on your street. =P

I am *DYING* over here!!!! :)

Miss Mommy said...

Mmmm!! They look so delicious!! I so wish I had your neighbor!! I'd love to give her cookies a try as would my kiddies too!! They looks so yummy!!

Thanks for the chance!!

Anonymous said...

You are so amazingly lucky! I'd never lose ANY weight if she lived next door to me!

I'll be glad to take those cookies off your hands, though. A one-time-only offer, you understand. ;)

Michelle said...

You are beyond lucky! I've been eyeing up her blog since you posted about meeting her. You are one lucky girl. I'd be happy to get some spring cookies, I might even be convinced to let my family try one or two.

Corina said...

Oh my..lucky indeed!
I'm trying to wipe the drool off my laptop..excuse me..

:) she is very talented and her creations look yummy!!

My girls would love some cute cookies!

what an awesome website she has aren't you the lucky neighbor?!...I think the margarita cookies are so cute and they make me want to go to our favorite Mexican place, sit on the patio and sip a frozen margarita!

marky said...

What beautiful cookies!! Don't enter me since I can't eat them..but wow..what lovely goodies!

Tami (Pixeltrash) said...

Holy comments! LOL! Well, you are one lucky lady. I love the pink poodle cookies. Too cute. You're right though... that baking can lead to BAD, BAD swimsuit summers!

Anonymous said...

Those look colorful and yummy.

Holly said...

I would totally be over there every afternoon to "borrow a cup of sugar" and see what she was baking next.

4evahmom24 said...

Kristen...you sure are blessed having this wonderful lady as your neighbor! Her blog is just beautiful and her cookies look awesome! Thanks for introducing her to us and sharing your stories...I especially liked her blog about your son coming to visit and her wanting to hide the camera where she was taking food pics.....and he was just so matter of fact and asked if she had a blog! Too cute! It is a friendship that was meant to be!

Empty Nest Full Life said...

You do have one great neighbor! Wish I had a plate of those cookies right now! Someone is going to be one lucky winner. Jackie

I would love to have a neighbor like that! I am an aspiring baker my self.. to have as much talent as she does would be soo neat!! Those cookies look amazing!!!

Nessa said...

I think I gained weight just looking at her blog. You are lucky to have such a gifted neighbor!

Thanks for the chance to win some goodies!

Kim said...

You are very lucky! I would weigh over a ton if I lived close to her!!! I LOVE COOKIES!!

Emily Rose said...

I'm so jealous of you!! I love drooling over Bridget's cookies, and you get to do it in person!! I would love to win a batch of these delightful treats!!

Stephanie said...

Those Meyer Lemon Vanilla Scones look oh so tasty!! Lucky you :)

jonahbonah said...

i sure hope she shares her yummy goodies all the time!!! that would make her a fab neighbor!!!

i'm gonna have to go back to her blog for the scones recipe!

Charlotte said...

So lucky you are we are! Awesome giveaway. That ice cream pie looked delish? Maybe she could pack that on some dry ice and send it this way? The cookies look yum too!

thediaperdiaries said...

Please let me know if there are any houses for sale on your street. I think I might have to leave my family behind, but it might be worth it.

Amanda said...

You are lucky!!! I have one of them in my church that bakes AMAZING THINGS! One time she gave me a "mistake" of her's and I swear that she could sell the recipe for millions.

Ahhhh I'd love some cookies... don't need them, but I'd love them!

Angie @ Many Little Blessings said...

You are lucky to have her as a neighbor because not only do you get goodies, but they are made from scratch!

the BLAH BLAH BLAHger said...

So glad you are blest with this wonderful neighbor. What a talent! LOVE the poodle cookies! So original.

RefreshMom said...

What talent! (Baking, photography, writing...take your pick!) I wouldn't make cookies if I lived next door either (and I try to be 'cookie mom' for my kids' schools). I'll have to check her out more often for tips on how to do it better. I'd love to sample her wares!

Lori said...

You are very lucky. I've always wanted to bake with Meyer Lemons, but then I remember - oh yeah, I don't bake. Perhaps your lovely neighbor will inspire me... ;)

Liz said...

Meyer Lemon Scones?! Pink Poodle cookies?! I wish it were my neighbor!

Anonymous said...

you are indeed lucky to have such a talented neighbor. I like to bake, but never got into the whole decorating thing. Her vanilla scones made me gain weight just looking at them. thanks for the giveawayand info on her site.

My word - she makes beautiful cookies. Almost a shame to eat them they are so nice. And I think I gained 10 lbs just looking at them. The poodles were so cute!
You are luck to have such a talented neighbor!

Beth W. said...

You're right...with swimsuit season coming...I'm almost glad she doesn't live near me. Those cookies look amazing! Truly works of art - almost too good to eat (almost!). Thanks! Beth W.

I think I might be living in the wrong neighborhood. All my boring neighbors do is host wienie roasts.

Jason and Sarah said...

What a great give-a-way! I have been eyeing her yummy cookies for a while and would love to give them a try! Thanks!

Christina said...

I actually found your blog because of HER blog, I love her stuff, she makes me want to cook more!

Tamera said...

I just love her cookies, well I haven't had one, but they all look sooooo good. You are definitely very lucky!!

momof3girls said...

you are so lucky!! I am in love with those monogramed cookies!

momof3girls said...

oh, I forgot to link with my email -please sign me up for the sweetest giveaway. Thanks

Poppyseed said...

As soon as you mentioned that Bake at 350 was your neighbor, I added her to my feed reader. Her post that day was for caramel brownies, which I made the same day. YUMMY!!! They were fantastic! I would LOVE to try some of her cookies...especially if I didn't have to bake them and do the decorating myself!

KayeDean said...

You are very lucky indeed. I gained 5 pounds just browsing her site, and the ice cream pie you had for dessert ....yummm.

I check her blog every day hoping for some new, cute thing she's made!

I've been reading her blog since you first mentioned it and she does amazing work! I enjoy the fact that she throws in things like the ice cream pie you were able to sample. Did she substitute a different flavor ice cream? I'd love to have a neighbor who could bake like she can, but I'll settle for the prize here ;)

She is amazing, since you first posted about her I have been following her blog, I don't have a creative bone in my body so it is amazing to me what she does. I just loved how when you discovered her you said that "God gave you a deep love for the cookie". I was laughing in my office for 5 min that day. I thought the poodle cookies she did in the last week or so were really cute and so detailed and the fancy cookies she did for the wedding were so sophisticated looking but those scones look to die for, I may have to try them.

I'd just have to hang out in her kitchen all the time!!!

Seriously, if she were my neighbor I may never bake again!

I wish my neighbor baked cookies like that! I'd tell her so but she might quit cooking for me altogether since she's my Mom!

I love your blog and read it every day!

Tamara B. said...

There is no way I could live next to that very talented women because I would die from a cookie overdose. Her Valentine and St. Patrick day cookies are so beautiful. you are one lucky lady tohave her as a neighbor!

I don't think lucky begins to describe it. Well, until you try to get in that swimsuit anyway. :)

Thanks for putting a link here. I LOVE to bake and get inspiration from other bakers! I'm going to have to work on my cookies now. My boys were impressed, also.

Anonymous said...

Bridget is a cookie Goddess! I aspire to bake suck beautiful cookies that hold their form. Mine are usually misshaped and so puffy that I have to whack them with a spatula when I pull them out of the oven. I love daisies, so I am going to attempt to create some daisy cookies that I hope will at least be recognizable, if not as gorgeous as Bridget's!

Wani said...

none of my neighbors make anything that cool! no offense!

Yum I gained weight just looking at all the yummy things she creates! Very talented! Please enter me in your giveaway!

The only way I will get some cute cookies like that is if I win this contest!

I wish I could say I would make some myself, but....

bashtree said...

You are so lucky to have her as a neighbor! I have been admiring her blog since you first pointed it out. you'd be welcome to taste-test one of mine, if I won!

Sam and Mandy said...

She makes some beautiful cookies and yummy desserts. The ice cream pie that you made for you looked delicious!

Anonymous said...

I gain weight just looking at her goodies and it's your fault I have her in my bloglines reader. lol. I have the ingredients to make the carmel brownies she had on there the other day and my daughter is nagging because I promised to try making the filled chocolate cupcakes. Yummy.

I can't tell you how jealous I am!!! That is one talented and kind neighbor you have there. The lemon scones and caramel brownies looked awesome...and you actually got to eat that ice cream pie?!?!?!I'd stay put if I were you!

johnsonfamilyof6 said...

You are so lucky! Bake at 350 has inspired me to try what I never thought I could, baking cute stuff that is good enough to eat.

As Mr.Rogers would say,

I would love to get my own close up view of these wonderful inspiration cookies!! Thanks!
