Celebrating Three Years of Love and Olive Oil

Three years ago today, I took a picture of my dinner. And posted it. And hoped that people would care.

And sure enough, three years later, you really do care. About food. And cupcakes. And kitty cats. And us. The reason this blog is still around and going strong is because of you. Our readers. I am ever so grateful for you, your comments, your support. Because without you, this blog would be little more than a couple taking pictures of their food (not too far off from playing with your food, to be honest). But because of you it is so much more.

I do believe a celebration is in order.

Yes, I actually considered baking a cake. I even toyed with the idea of throwing a birthday bash for a blog. But, alas, our busy lives prevailed, and I decided I’d do something that would directly benefit you: give something cool away.

Block Printed Cupcake Moleskine Notebook

So, to celebrate Love & Olive Oil’s 3rd birthday, I’m giving away TWO SETS of these adorable notebooks to two lucky readers! Each winner will receive one large and one small cupcake notebook, one of each color. These notebooks are unlined Moleskine Cahier journals, perfect for jotting notes, doodles, or recipes.

I’ve been spending more time off of the computer lately, whether it be baking, reading, drawing, or creating. These little notebooks are a result of that creative time. The original intention was to create a notebook in which to write and record my cupcake recipes. My previous system was basically just a series of notes jotted in the margins of other recipes. But these recipes deserved more than just a margin. They deserved their own notebook.

And after a bit of work, a few boo boos, and lots of pink and turquoise ink, the cupcake notebook was born.

I’ve purchased quite a few of these notebooks with plans to print on them, both with this cupcake image as well as others I’ve yet to carve (can you say, dessert notebook series? cupcakes, cakes, doughnuts, etc.) I’m even toying with the idea of setting up a mini-shop of sorts, depending on the interest, to sell a limited number of these notebooks to those who find them as adorable as I do.

Block Printed Cupcake Notebook

TO ENTER: simply leave a comment on this post by midnight (cst) on Sunday, February 21st. Only one entry per person. I will randomly select the two winners first thing Monday morning.

You can also get yourself a BONUS entry by twittering about this giveaway, sharing it on facebook, or mentioning it on your own blog. Simply leave an additional comment with a link to the tweet and/or blog post. One bonus entry per person (multiple tweets won’t get you multiple bonus entries).

Be sure you enter a valid email address, because if your name is drawn and I can’t get ahold of you, I will choose an alternate winner. You may also want to add me to your address book (lindsay AT loveandoliveoil DOT com) for good measure, I’d hate for your congratulatory email to end up in the spam folder.

    Lindsay,
    I’ll be honest. I just discovered your blog last week. Since then I have tried numerous recipes (absolutely loved the brown butter tortellini). I’m about to get off of this computer and go make the Zucchini Basil Soup. Thank you- for taking beautiful photographs and sharing your recipes with all of us! Congrats on three years!

    I carry that exact moleskin in my back pocket every day to write about food. Except of course without the cool cupcake logo. Which would be so excellently ironic for a food writer.

    I wrote a review of a new Irish pub today and realized that I have one page left in my book since the last two have fallen out from abuse.

    Timing couldn’t be better. I’m praying to the gods of blessed random probability.

    Your blog has inspired my interest in food photography! Your pictures are gorgeous…and best of all – you’ve got the recipes to back them up. ;) I love that you live such an “out-of-the-box” lifestyle. My boyfriend and I want to open our own online business, and spend each and every day working together. People think that we’re crazy for wanting to spend so much time together. You’re proof that it can work!

    So emily (comment above) and I made your Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles today, as she mentioned! SO GOOD!. We love cooking together and it would be super fun to start a recipe collection together in them. By the way, we also made http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Noodle-Salad-with-Mango-and-Gingered-Cucumber-106530 which was very good (we added lime juice and chili sauce to make it extra delicious). Check it out.
