Wow – over a thousand entries for this anniversary giveaway! Per the number generator at Random.org, the winner is comment #237 from Francis B. Congrats, Francis! Send me a note to collect your gorgeous green mixer.
For me, March 20 is one of the happiest days of the year. It’s the first day of spring. It’s J.S. Bach’s 332nd birthday. And — drum roll please — it’s my blog’s anniversary!
It was eight years ago today that I started writing down my gardening, cooking, and housekeeping experiences. Thanks for keeping me company all this time!
I’ve had a great time cooking with you! We’ve whipped up everything from make-ahead appetizers to majestic main courses to decadent desserts.
When the weather cooperated, we designed some easy but elegant gardens. When Jack Frost visited, we winter-sowed a bevy of seeds.
We’ve made our beds…
And we’ve cleaned our entrance halls.
Heck, we’ve even washed our windows!
And there’s more to come! In advance of publishing a cookbook, I’ve entered the field of videography. Will Kevin Lee Jacobs become a YouTube sensation? Not likely. But hopefully he can show you a trick or two that would be difficult to describe in words alone. Do him a favor, and subscribe to his YouTube channel, okay?
Hmmm. I seem to have slipped into third person in the preceding paragraph. Please forgive me.
Now, to celebrate our eight years together, how ’bout a giveaway?
Post a comment below, and you’ll automatically be entered for a chance to win the sparkling, grass-green mixer you see pictured above.

I have enjoyed your BLOG for a few years now, even though I live in the California desert. It really takes me back to growing up in the Midwest where seasons and ample rainfall are taken for granted. Your home is gorgeous, but so warm and welcoming – thanks for sharing the photos. I have watched your first two cooking videos. You’re right, its so much better to watch and hear as the recipe takes shape, so I’m subscribing to the Kevin video series on YouTube. Thanks for all the uplifting content! Stay well!

Hi Kevin,
I have just recently signed up to receive your newsletter. You have given my such great ides for my very little space outside. I live in Ladson, SC and sometimes the soil is not the best; but, as you said, don’t give up just keep trying. I also love that it’s March. My favorite color is green. Why? Because my birthday is May 1 and the birthstone is an emerald, everything is coming to life starting in March, St. Patrick’s Day is full of green, and we can go outside and start planting. I love the newsletters. I am so glad I signed up. Thank you for the ideas.

Congratulations, Kevin! I just discovered your English Muffin YouTube and it is fantastic! I’ll be trying it very soon and I’m so thrilled to know how to make these during the winter months without having to get out to buy them.

Seriously, I am so happy for you…8 years! So glad I found you, and I will work on not being jealous.

Linda L. Holcomb says
Kevin, I am so pleased for your success (and happiness) in all that you do. You have provided me with much joy in the beauty of your home and your gardens and much interest in your culinary skills. 🙂 You have given me many thoughts to ponder on. I would dearly love to be the recipient of your latest giveaway. I wasn’t chosen for the last one, but one doesn’t grieve over things we never had to begin with. 🙂 Being retired, I spend much time now experimenting in the gardens and the kitchen and I would love to have a real mixer that would enable me to “expand my horizons.” The hand mixer just doesn’t cut it. Other than that, have a wonderful day. I sympathize with your snow experiences, we don’t live all that far from you.

Kathy from Cold Climate Gardening says
The first day of spring on the calendar and the first day of spring in my garden have never been the same day. Spring is always later here, and with the bulk of 3 feet of snow still on the ground, I despair of seeing the actual ground before April. I don’t cook a lot of your recipes because I follow a low-carb diet, but I do enjoy the sense of humor in your cooking posts. And I enjoy comparing your Hudson Valley garden with my Southern Tier one. You are usually a bit ahead of us. Here’s to another eight years!
Ray Stokes says
I forget how many years I’ve been reading you and I have enjoyed it. I think Lily the Beagle will approve comments in 2 wags of a dogs tail. lol 🙂

Happy Spring to you! Thank you for all the wonderful memories. I deal with thyroid issues and so many times you would post about cleaning and your joui de vie would encourage me. So on a scale of one to ten ten being I feel like spring cleaning my energy level would go from a one to maybe a two. Thyroid issues especially hypo are no fun and exact a toil on energy levels. Your posts though were a constant source of encouragement. Blessings to you on your journey and should stardom reach you know that it is your just due. Happy spring to you, the Silver Fox, Lily, Camille and the rest of your family!

Happy Spring, Kevin. And congratulations on 8 successful years of blogging. Your personality shines through to your readers.
Hear in Bucks County PA, we had a “pre-Spring” Spring in February. It was 60 to 80 degrees for an extended period and my hellebores, snowdrops, aconite daffodils were up and blooming until last week when we got 7 inches of snow and ice. Still waiting for the melt down to see if they survived.

Oh, and Lily and her feline companions are not to be left out… good luck for another Internet “eon!” (Or as long as it moves you and excites you to do this.)
Peace out, brother!

Jean Brimley says
Kevin, Congratulations on your 8 Year Blogiversary!!! If only I had found you that long ago. I have learned so much during the past year from your emails. For instance, I have never, ever, ever been able to get an African Violet to bloom, despite my Mother’s ability to do so effortlessly. Happily, of my eight plants which have all come from sprouted leaves we found in her home when she died, four are now blooming, two more have pushed up their buds, and the other two, well, they’re thinking about it. This has been a fun adventure for me. Thank you.
Additionally, I am a lover of gardens, old homes and yummy food. You have covered them all.
With much appreciation
Jean

When I retired I brought home about 35 violets I had grown in the window near my desk. My 5 year old granddaughter shreded some cattails and decorated the violets completely. You can’t get that stuff off. Consequently they all died and so did my story, until now.
Joyce Bradley says
I’m subscribed to your Youtube. Congrats on 8 years. I don’t know if I’ve been following that long ,,,,, but it has been close to that. I’m looking forward to that book coming out. I hope you’ll give your BIG fans opportunity to get an autographed copy!!

I came across your website a few weeks ago when I was googeling “using vinegar as lethal weapon against garden weeds.” I have been hooked ever since! Your garden is a true inspiration to a novice Florida gardener like myself and your roasted strawberries recipe has been the crowning touch of many a desserts I’ve made since. I’ve send your link to several of my friends and hailed you as “Martha Stewart on steroids.”
For once, I was thankful for all the weeds in my garden.:-)

Love your blog Kevin. Please keep posting gluten free recipes sometimes. Did you get tons of snow like we did this past week? We still have about 2 ft of snow on the lawn, with much higher piles where ever snowbanks are. It was much deeper just a few days ago. Can’t wait for spring and love all your gardening posts too! Thank for offering another great prize.

Vee says
What a popular guy you are with so many comments and entries. Pity I didn’t meet you until a year ago. I feel that I’ve missed a lot, but I’m making up for it now. If anyone asks, the Marmalade Cake is the best. I’ve made it again and again, each time with some adaptation caused by my lack of an ingredient you suggested. Each time, the cake has come out spot on, so the kudos to you are because this and all your recipes are flexible. You’ve pared them down to the essentials, and now it’s OK for us, your followers, to make your recipes our own. I like that. Today we’re enjoying your whole wheat soda bread in a loaf. It’s as good as you said.
Alice Reinhardt says
Thanks for all the stunning ideas, love that green mixer.
Linda says
Congratulations on your 8th year blog anniversary! Just finished making lavendar cupcakes with honey frosting while waiting for the snow to melt. This mixer would look fabulous in my newly redone kitchen and with my jadeite collection

I was lazy and bought Irish soda bread…didn’t have whole wheat flour to do yours. I had never seen the loaf shaped like a boule…it was quickly consumed. My usual recipe is baked in a cast iron skillet….yummy! Now I have to bake some as I’m craving it…..here’s another “the diet starts tomorrow” moment!

Congrats on 8 years Kevin! I have only been reading your posts for 2 years but it is something I always look forward to.

Just starting to winter-sow my annuals. What a great method! Last year I got a lot of plants that would have put a big dent in my budget at my local garden center.
Patricia Lee says
Your blog is the high point of my week! The gardening advice and recipes are used frequently – the cleaning suggestions – maybe not so much. 😉 Thank you for all you do!
Julia Falcone says
I discovered your website not too long ago and have enjoyed your recipe posts. I am a baker, while my husband is the cook, so we split the kitchen duties. Have tried several recipes and find that your instructions are right-on. My husband and I also do raised bed (organic as much as we can) gardening. Keep them coming and congratulations on your anniversary.
Suzan says
Always love your recipes. Never had one fail on me yet!
Keep on keeping on

My phone is not showing any pictures from your site today but, as I scrolled through to this space, passing sooooo many people commenting I assume that it is rebelling! I love your recipes, house decorating and gardening tips. As I live in a heavily oak & tulip wooded area, I am trying your leaves to mulch idea. Green is my favorite color and I would love to have a chance to win the mixer…..would match my kilts, turtlenecks, many shoes, coats, rain shoes & boots as well as 2 couches and my LR, DR AND hallways upstairs & down!!

Hey Kevin!
My Aunt introduced me to your site last night, so here I am.
She spoke of the mixer she wants to win as it is in her Irish blood to win one that is GREEN! She must of misread as she thought she had to have a Facebook account to enter. Sooooooo here I am, entering on her behalf.
I am now off see to see all the wonderfulness on your site! (I trust my Auntie)
Ohhhhh……..~*Congratualtions on your 8th anniversary~*

Kevin,
I am so glad that I found your website. I love how respectfully classic you are. Your name rings many bells for me as well. My late husband is Kevin, my grandfather and sister have middle names of Lee and my oldest son is Jacob. So seeing your emails gives me even more reasons to smile.
Congratulations on your anniversary and thank you for such generosity. Here’s wishing you many more years of success and happiness.
I have finally perfected my technique for a beautifully cooked cheesecake but am using a hand mixer and my hands are tired. May I tell you that green is my favorite color? My bridesmaids wore green and even better, it is the color of my mother’s eyes (mine as well). Thank you for doing this for your readers. These type of contest are always exciting and such fun. Take care.
June says
I have learned so much from you–thanks!
