Back in November a friend invited me to the local Taste of Home Cooking School. We had a fabulous time, and our $10 ticket was a fantastic value. In each attendee’s goody bag there were product samples and Taste of Home magazines that more than made up for the ticket price.
When I got home from the show and went through my bag I noticed two postcards for a Free One-Year Subscription to Taste of Home magazine, valued at $23.94! This week, as part of the quarterly Bloggy Giveaways Carnival, I want to pass one of those subscriptions on to you!
To enter, simply leave a comment letting me know if you’re a cooker or a baker. Me… I really like both, but if I had to choose, I’m probably more of a baker. Probably… 
I’ll draw a winner after the Super Bowl on Sunday, February 1.
Good luck, and make sure to while away the hours over at Bloggy Giveaways this week where you can find thousands of fun giveaways!
Oh, Amy…I love the Taste of Home magazines. This would be so cool!
I’m definitely more of a baker. I’ve cooked meals for my family for over thirty years, and it wouldn’t bother me if I never had to cook another meal again! Baking, on the other hand, is a joy. I bake when I’m bored, I bake to relieve stress, I bake for comfort, and I bake when I want munchies!
I’m an eater. Does that count?
I love to bake. Cookies, cakes, pies, pastries, you name it!
I love to cook. I used to subscribe to this magazine and I miss it!
My husband is the cooker and i am the baker.
I do both. I have a large family so I cook more by need but by heart would be a baker. SO I would choose Baker since that is where my heart lays
I cook because I have to but I bake because I love to.
I do both, but I prefer to bake
I love this magazine. I enjoy cooking and baking but try to stick to cooking so I don’t eat tooo many sweets.
Both! Cook & Baker! One look at your giveaway and I said, “MMMMMMMMMMMMMM!”
Ready with Michigan Addy!

I am the cooker and the baker. I have a hubby who loves to eat all my cooking and baking.
Well, I bake and my husband cooks! It makes for a great combination, actually!

I love both, but if forced to choose one, I am more of a cooker.
I am both a cooker and a baker, but I like baking the best. Probably because I have a huge sweettooth.
Have you tried those yummy recipes??? wow!! soooo good!!
am more of a baker and a crockpot partaker
I just found your site, and I really like it.
Do you find any recipes in this magazine helpful, or are they the ones you would NEVER get your family to eat, but look great? lol
I am more of a cooker than a baker – since my diet does not allow me to taste my baking things.
Oooooh, I would love this! Hm…I can’t decide which I’m more of. I love the results of baking and the creativity I can use, but there’s just something so soothing about cooking.
Oh, I would have to say I am more of a cooker. Baking is nice…but not something I do a whole lot of on a daily basis.
I love baking. It’s so relaxing
I am definitely a baker!
I am more of a cooker as I have to do it every day! Thanks!
I am probably more of a cooker than a baker, but I do both. I’d love to bake more, but me and hubby are trying to lose weight, so less Goody Baking is happening at our home right now.
I’m both, but I am definitely more of a baker.
I am definitely a baker! I love to make cookies with my daughter on a rainy day!
Thanks! foxsquirrelrabbit at gmail dot com
While I love to bake, I think I am more of a “cooker.” I love to try new recipes for dinner.
I’m a struggling cooker and baker so I could really use more recipes.
I’m probably more of a baker but am working hard at becoming a better cook!
Definitely a cooker.
I am aspiring to be both. I would rather be a cooker though
I love being a baker, but I’m a cooker out of necessity!
I am a cooker but I wish I were more of a baker!
I’m more of a cooker.
I’m a baker at heart. I do cook but I’m not great at it.
I think I’m more of a baker.
I love to cook and am always looking for new recipes.
Mostly a cooker, though it’s kind of a 60/40 thing…
I LOVE this magazine.
I am both baker and cooker!!!!
Every weekend!!!!!

Cooker, for sure!
Cook and baker. And Taste of Home is a wonderful magazine!
I’m both. I guess I really love the baking part.
Irma
I guess I’m a cooker. A “slow” cooker (lol). Thanks for the great contest!
i am both equally
more of a baker
I’m definitely a baker . . . but I also love to try new recipes!
Count me in as another baker! Thanks for a great giveaway
Very nice blog you have here
Me? I’m definitely a baker.
I LOVE baking, but cooking is definitely up there on my list as well. I live for anything that has to do with baking yummy things.
I’m both a cooker and a baker, but I find more joy in baking…I think. {:
I am a cooker! I love Taste of Home magazine because it has some exotic recipes as well as basic ones!
I like both, but I cook a lot more than I bake.
I love coking. This would give me new ideas to treat my family. Plz enter me
I am definitely a baker! I love to make cookies and cakes and cupcakes and lemon bars… yum.
I’m a frequent cooker (& a sporadic baker)
Ilove to both cook and bake……if I had to choose I would say cooker.
I love to cook! I’m a bit of a disaster with baking – too precise.
I’m more of a cook than a baker, I’m I’m working on becoming a better baker.
If I have a meal plan then I would likely be a “cooker”…I hate trying to figure out what to make on any given day though…I just like someone to tell me what to make.

I am definitely a cooker and I love Taste of Home Magazine. Thanks for the giveaway.
I love both, but I would probably say I am more of a baker.
I’m more of a cooker, but I WISH I was more of a baker! Thanks!
I’m a cooker but I would rather be the dishwasher.
I am hardly a baker or a cooker. But I like to attempt both.
Baker. Definitely.
I love this magazine – I am definitely a baker!! Thanks for the great giveaway!
I’m definitely more of a baker. I need to increase my cooking though.
I guess you’d say I’m more of a cooker than a baker, but I love both. I also love Taste of Home magazine!
I’m more of a baker. My hubby is the cook in the family.
I am a cook and bake sometimes!
I’m like you! I’m a little bit of both, but I prefer baking b/c I’m a sweets girl! LOL…I sure hope I win! this would be great!
Thanks,
stacygibbs122@gmail.com
What an awesome giveaway! I’d have to say that I’m a really good mix, but since I do have to chose, I’d say, I’m a cooker.
i am both. if i have to choose one though i would say cooking.
I would love to get more meal ideas. I am a baker, but fall short on the cooking dinner aspect! Thanks!
Thanks to many Taste of Home magazines over the years, I truly love to cook and bake. I’d say I enjoy cooking more, but have fun with all kinds of recipes!
I am a cooker. Baking requires being precise and using measuring spoons. I am more of a “dash of this, sprinkle of that” kind of cook!
Summer!
I am a cooker. I love to cook, in fact it’s what I take most of my time in doing. I love to search for recipes and try out different foods. My boyfriend also appreciates I cook too. LOL. He tell’s me Im the best cook ever, because his mom would burn rice. lol thanks
I am a cooker!
I am a baker because I have a sweet tooth, but I cook daily too and like to try new recipes.
I’m a cooker for sure. I bake now and then, but sometimes it doesn’t turn out so well. I prefer to cook because I feel like I have more leeway when it comes to substitutions and adding/removing ingredients. I love to experiment! Thanks for the great giveaway!

P.S. I’ve got a giveaway on my blog as well, feel free to check it out!
Well, if you would have asked me before last fall, I would have ALWAYS said I was a cooker.
But I have overcome the idea that I couldn’t bake and have begun to make cakes, cookies, pies and now bread (incredible). I think it has to do with the fact that my 8 yr old DD loves to bake with me:)
Thanks for the chance
I would MUCH rather bake than cook a meal. I have been on a “bread kick” lately, and my kids are getting sick of trying different breads.
A cooker, for sure. Especially as we are learning to eat more seasonally, experimenting with new foods – and triplet preschoolers – is really a lot of fun!
I’m more of a cooker but I bake too!
I like to do both although toward the end of 2008 I got into cake making a lot more. I was inspired by my love of Ace of Cakes and did a few fondanted cakes for family and got addicted. for cooking, I love making Italian dishes.
Ohh I’m a baker!
I love to bake. I used to hate to cook. However I am starting to come around. I by no means love it, but I am getting increasinly interested in it.
I am more of a baker but only because I enjoy it more. I love to cook but baking is very therapeutic for me!
I love to bake but have more fun experimenting cooking.
im a griller but i do love to cook
I am much more of a cooker. I like baking but to me it seems to take more time!
I’m both, although, I probably like baking the most. I love Taste of Home. Thank you for the entry.
koinonia572001@yahoo.com
Thank you so very much for adding me to your list…I have 5 little ones and love to bake and cook…If I were to choose, I think it would be baking though, we were without an oven for a part of last year, (stovetop worked, oven didn’t) as soon as we had it repaired, I swear I added on about 5 lbs from all the goodies we made! lol! Thank you again,
Warmest Regards,
Daisy
I’m definitely more of a cooker than a baker. I love to taste and add “a bit of this and a bit of that” as I go along- which is easier when cooking.
My grandma had given our family a subscription to this magazine when I was a kid, and I loved browsing through it. I would love to read it again!
Blessings,
Michele
Hmmm, I’m a cooker out of necessity but I like baking more. Probably because that’s what I like to eat the most.
I am a cooker but I try really hard to be a baker. Emphasis on try
Thanks for the great giveaway,

Love to cook. It’s easier because you don’t have to be so precise in your measurements. Just tried out a great new roast recipe. Melts in your mouth! And I’m always on the lookout for new things to prepare.
definitely baker!
Baker! The problem is that I can never decide what I want to bake,hehe!

I am definitely a cooker and my husband would attest to that. LOL

I am a cooker! I am not very good at baking but I try and like to learn.
I love to cook and I love to bake, but I get more opportunities to cook. I love Taste of Home!
Both cooker and baker …I thing they have the best recipes in the Taste of Home Magazine.
Baker here too!
i enjoy cooking.
I’m more of a cooker but I intend to do more baking.
anamcara2007@yahoo.com
I am more of a cooker. Although I used t o be more of a baker.
I love baking. In fact, right now I have some banana bread in the oven:)
I’m a big casserole “cooker” and a chocolate “baker” LOL.
I’m so jealous! I would luv to attend a Taste of Home Cooking School!
Thanks for an Awesome Giveaway
I wish I were a better cook but I settle for a fine baker.
Thank you!
Love Taste of Home!
Baker!
Please throw my name into the hat!

I am no baker or cooker but in my heart I am a baker if that makes sense. (In other words I like to bake but not that good at it!) Thanks for the opportunity! A spiritual director once recommended this mag. for down to earth recipes.
Definitely a cooker! I enjoy baking, but I can cook without even a bit of a recipe. Not so much with baking.
I’m both a cooker and a baker!
Virginia

I’m a baker, married to a cooker
Enjoy both, but I guess I will go with baker. Loving my bread machine lately…
i’d say cooker.
BOTH!!! I LOVE to bake and cook… and my husband sure loves the results!
I’m a cooker, then a baker.
I love both but I think I am a better baker so I will say Baker.
I love to cook, then bake for dessert!
I like to do both, but since my hubby has taken over the cooking (he;s really a gourmet), i bake and make candy!

I’m a baker. I love chocolate.
I like to bake
Ooooh, I love TOH! Let’s see… hard to pick but more of a cooker. I enjoy baking somewhat, but really like the challenge of making some ordinary meat come out better than ordinary.
Thanks!

I’m a cooker – my 14-year-old son is the baker! Thanks for a great giveaway!
I love to cook for my family. We have 8 children and 1 granddaughter.
But, more importantly, I have a 14 yr. old daughter who hopes someday to go to culinary school. She would love this subscription and we would share it.
Thanks for the opportunity.
I would like to think that I am both
I wish that I had more time to bake though, now that I have 2 small ones it is difficult. Thanks for a great contest!
I love to bake!
Love to do both but I do more cooking than baking.
I’m more of a cooker I would say.
I like to cook and bake, but bake less often. I hate to cook on fridays!
I’m more of a baker I guess. I cook too though. Thanks for the great contest!
I am a baker!
Baker & cooker! I love TOH magazine, but haven’t subscribed in a while!

Hmm – I love to bake but don’t get to do it nearly enough to satisfy me.
I too am both. I am always on the look-out for great new recipes to cook, but I truly love baking. However, ’09 must not include so much baking if I am going to succeed with my new years resolutions!
I’m a baker, though I shouldn’t do as much as I do. I also cook most of what we eat.
KellyH
I like both, but I think cooking is more my thing!
I love to cook and bake, either one, but my favorite has got to be baking.
I like to cook and bake–but my favorite thing is trying new recipes–I love the Taste of Home magazine for that reason.
Cooker! Try not to bake too often because then I eat it
I love to cook! What’s great is that my hubby loves to too! Sometimes we “argue” who will take care of the kids and who will make dinner
I think I am more of a baker, I like sweets and baked goods too much!
I’d be a cooker if I had to choose, LOL!
I think I am more of a cook, although I love to bake.
I prefer to bake. can be a bad thing cause I also prefer to eat my baked goods
Aschrader85(@)gmail(.)com
I’m a baker. I’d love to have this mag. subscription. Thanks
I do both but enjoy baking more.
I am both. My husband and I share this passion. Our favorite show is Iron Chef on the Food Network.
I enjoy both cooking and baking. My kids love to bake with me.
I cook mostly out of necessity, but enjoy trying new recipes. I bake for fun, always from scratch. No cake mixes in my house!
I am definitely a baker. I love to make cookies and cakes.

I’m a chemist; therefore, I’m a cooker.
i love to bake.
I’m a cooker, but I love baked goods!
I absolutely LOVE baking! Cooking is great too though.
I do both cooking & baking…I prefer baking as I like to mix things up, put in the oven & walk away until it is done.
I use to receive Quick Cooking magazine (also by Taste of Home) from my grandma as a Christmas gift. She is now in glory with her Saviour.
oooooh I Absolutely love to bake, and I love inspiration!
I am definitely a cooker
Thanks for the great giveaway!
I am definitely NOT a baker. I love to cook and I love Taste of Home!
BOTH! If I have to pick one, I’d say baker, but it depends on my mood.
I’m a cooker but I can’t seem to keep my hands off bakery…:)
I’m definitely a cooker, not a baker!
I’m both! I love cooking and baking and always enjoy Taste of Home recipes! Thanks for the giveaway!

definitely a baker if I could choose…
I am a terrible cook but my husband always compliments me on it anyway. I love to bake though so I think that makes up for my lack of cooking skills!
I am a cook for meals but I am a baker for pleasure.
I’m definitely a cooker…I make dinner from scratch almost every night. I used to have a sub to Taste of Home but it was getting too expensive…be nice to win a free sub now! Thanks – great giveaway!
I don’t like to bake at all…if it doesn’t come out of a box then it isn’t homemade, my daughter used to say. LOL! But I love recipes for cooking and looking at all pictures for recipes. I have so many recipe books, it isn’t even funny! I cut out recipes from magazines all the time and have a special scribbler to keep my favourites in.
Please count me in!
Uh, neither! But I do love looking at recipes! Probably betting at cooking, I guess!
I’m with you. I enjoy both cooking and baking. Great giveaway!
I prefer baking!
heatherlbrandt (at) verizon (dot) net
I am more of a cook than a baker. I do most of my cooking based on what I think would taste good together.
I really want to be a baker, just whatever I try to make never comes out the way it should. LOL
Taste of Home always has awesome recipes!!
Ohh.. I love cooking! baking is fun too, but I like cooking better.
I cook almost every night. So I will say I am a cooker. I enjoy baking but do it mostly for holidays and special occasions only. Thanks for the terrific giveaway.
I bake, but I am not much of a cook. I want to learn though!
I enjoy cooking and baking. But I think my favorite is to bake. Thank you for the cool giveaway.
I like to do both but don’t do either often enough. I had a subscription years ago and would love to see the newer issues.
i am totally a baker!
I am a baker. I love to bake!
I’m a cooker, not a baker. Thanks for the chance!
I am both a cooker and a baker but I lean a little more toward the cooker side.
I am both a cooker and a baker, but when I am doing “experiments” it is generally in the cooking. I love new recipes and creating recipes. thanks for the giveaway!
Baking (as a preference) over cooking takes precedence with me! Even when I was a little girl I remember calling in to a radio program to give them a tip on how to cut Baked Alaska differently, and being so happy buying a baking thermometer!
