Since March is National Peanut Month and we live in one of the peanuttiest states in the country, if not THE MOST peanutty state in the country, I figured we might as well go with a peanut theme.

Of course, some folks would say their favorite way of eating peanuts is roasted, salted and straight out of a can. Especially if that’s a Virginia’s Finest can.
The cookbook I’m going to give away today is called The Only Bake Sale Cookbook You’ll Ever Need by Laurie Goldrich Wolf and Pam Abrams.

Have a nutty weekend! But not too nutty…
