And the winner is…comment #112, from Julia Vitale. Congrats, Julia! Email me (click here) to collect your prize. For me, March 20, 2021 is a happy day. It’s the first day of spring. It’s J.S. Bach’s 336th birthday. And — drum roll please — it’s my blog’s 12th anniversary! To celebrate, I’m giving away a gorgeous green mixer. Who wants to win this heavy-duty appliance in a random drawing?
It was twelve years ago today that I started writing down my cooking, gardening, 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!
Now, to celebrate our twelve 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.
Update: If the 5-qt KitchenAid mixer isn’t available, I will send you the equally-awesome, and equally-powerful 8.5 qt Cooklee Mixer in Leprachaun Green! (I love the speed dial on the Cooklee — it’s really easy to use.)

Good luck, and thanks for being such a good friend for the past dozen years!

Barbara says
Twelve years! Congratulations! May there be at least a dozen more …
I have a confession to make. I’ve only actually made a handful of your recipes (nom-nom-yum!), but i do so look forward to each and every Youtube you upload. I find your videos to be extremely comforting, and in these past few years especially, they’ve helped preserve my sanity. So from the bottom of my heart, thank you. And happy Spring!
Bobbi says
Congrats, Kevin! Your house and gardens are gorgeous!
Suzanne Robinson says

Raine D. says
Oh my goodness, what a generous gift! We should be giving YOU something for the hard work you put into entertaining us, Kevin, not the other way around — on the other hand, I’m not going to argue with you! Twelve years is a long time in Blog Years. I’m not sure when I started watching your videos & reading the blog, but it’s been a while — I come & go as life ebbs & flows, but I’ve always found your recipes flavourful & your delivery (both in person & written) relaxing & very approachable. Congratulations on your 12 year milestone & thank you on behalf of a very happy follower. You provide a voice of rare sanity to my days!
Suzanne says
Thanks for your dedication over the years. I’ve learned so much. And more Binky please.
Mary Laiuppa says
Twelve years. I haven’t been reading nearly that long.
My front yard will have a garden similar to yours. Four raised beds only mine will have a central birdbath and the paths will be a combination of gravel and clover with stepping stones I will make using stained glass. I only have one built so far (because I have to do it all myself due to Covid) but I have plenty growing already. Love to see yours and dream of what mine will eventually look like.
Congrats on your dozen years of blogging.

Thank you Kevin for that which you so freely give to all your fans. I love old houses and your indoor decor reminds me so much of my grandparents house. It was a large Craftsman. Fortunately for my grandmama, my granddaddy was a carpenter. He took what was a broken down wooden structure and made it into a home worthy of Grandmama. She would eventually have the most beautiful flowerbeds on her street. She is the reason I too enjoy gardening.

Hi Kevin,
I wonder what your thoughts are on redrawing the zone maps for gardening. Love the

12 years of hard work! Congratulations.
The oldest email of yours l am finding in my yahoo account Kevin Lee Jacob’s folder is from May 2015! 7 years of following you. One of the best recipes l followed from you was the orange roll. Those are so yummy and easy to make. Your shows are like meditation, with your presentation, and color coordination in the kitchen. Thanks for sharing your life with us. Lemony Lovage Pesto!

Kevin Jacobs, I write from Ottawa Canada to tell you, you make my nordic winter days here very happy ones when I read your blog, your recipes, your comments. You are a great blogger.
I never had a mixer, I always wanted one, I know I will not be lucky to get it, especially being so far from you and in a different country. That is quite OK, we are only two of us. But it is sooooo generous from you to offer it to your fans!!! We also started a herb garden last year, inspired by you. Thanks for your work with your lovely blog.
Lynne says
I love the pictures you post of the garden. You have a lovely home. Hugs

Laura says
Happy 12th Anniversary. I really enjoy this blog – the travels through your gardens and through your house plus your great recipes. The tutorial I loved best was how to knead dough and the hint about not adding additional flour and how we should slam the dough down on the counter. So far the 3 breads I tried following your advice have come out very different than how I used to make them and better. Keep up the good work.
Peggy Wallace says

It’s 56 degrees and sunshine here today, I may get out and do a little raking a little flower seed sprinkling myself
Chris Ellingson says
You are inspiring! Thank you for your blog and sharing your expertise.
Tina says
My most important things I’ve obeyed you on: winter sowing, clearly the most important, bought micro plane and the gadget that makes zoodles. PS, I yearn for recipes developed to substitute liquid sweeteners for white & brown sugar, which I will not use and have not touched in all these years. It’s a challenge, and one which nor I nor “they” have succeeded at. I suppose you’ve tried and you have also disdained your results despite your best efforts. Sigh.
Lynn Thayer Thibodeau says
wonderful, Happy Anniversay! I’ve certainly enjoyed the trip and the advice. Enjoy the day (s)

It’s been great watching you maintain/repair that awesome house. Also enjoyed making some of the foods you’ve shown. And I STILL haven’t been able to justify buying one of these mixers so hope springs eternal for me. Enjoy the good weather heading our way. 🙂

Oh, sure, Kevin, everyone comes out for the giveaway! Almost 1000 of us love you this much, because you are delightful. It’s always a fun day, reading your comments and touring your lovely property. As I work my gardens (in the throes of that right now), I reflect on how hard you work to maintain and enhance your property and home. Ah, for youth!!
BTW, green is “my” color. My home, in zone 6, has a real Caribbean flair of Turquoise and Sea Green, with splashes of Lime wherever and whenever possible.
