That's all I have to say about these past few weeks.
I'm a married lady now!!
A little recap of what's been going on since I last left you: we moved out of our storage unit the Monday before the wedding, moved things into the new house throughout the rest of week (to include the DAY OF the wedding), baked 3 cakes, 80 cupcakes and 2 batches of sugar cookies for MY wedding and decorated said cakes/cupcakes/cookies, spent time with out of town guests, had the day/best night of my life, went on the most relaxing/amazing honeymoon, started the new job, unpacked the house and decorated 2 more cakes.
I know what you're thinking... wow. There's nothing else you can say really.
But enough about me.. how have you all been?
I hope you all have been having a good October so far- maybe not as busy as mine, but good nonetheless.
Did you also know that October is National Cookie Month? I came back just in time!
To get back in the swing of things I decided not only to make you all some of my favorite Fall time cookies, but also host a giveaway!
The wonderful folks at Tate's Bake Shop let me taste some of the their latest creations and are giving me the opportunity to not only share cookies with you, but giveaway a signed copy of Tate's Bake Shop Cookbook as well.
Their newest cookie is the award winning Whole Wheat Dark Chocolate Chip Cookie... and let me tell you, these 3 bags were on my parents kitchen counter for a whopping 20 minutes before they were all completely gone. Crumbs- that's what was left. They were delicious.
So how can you win 3 bags of these wonderful cookies AND a cookbook?* Simply let me know what your favorite fall inspired cookie is! And make sure you leave me an email address so I can get in touch with you. *giveaway only open to US residents*
Even if you don't win, you can still recieve a 15% discount if you order cookies online by using the code: COOKIE. You won't disappointed with these cookies!
Using a random number generator, I'll be picking a winner on Halloween so get your cookies in now- Kathleen King's cookies are delicious and her cookbook is one I use often in my own kitchen.
And later on this week I'll be back with one of my favorite Fall treats.
Happy Baking!

Is this giveaway open to people outside of the USA? I'm from the Uk and a big fan of the blog!
If so, I'd say my favourite fall cookie is a white chocolate and blackberry one - an odd combination but white chocolate goes so well with so many different fruits!
PS. Congrats on the new job and the wedding!
@Sara Ah I'm sorry! It's only open to the US because the comapny will be shipping the cookies.. I should have mentioned that. Thanks for stopping by thouse and I think that the cookie you mentioned sounds delicious.. I may have to try it!

Congrats on the new job and your wedding! Whirlwind is right-shall I say welcome to the first day of the rest of your life? You had an awesome first day I am sure.
Regarding the favorite fall cookie-I would have to say those Russian Tea Cakes-you know the round butter cookies with the chopped pecans that are rolled in confectioners sugar.
I just wanted to tell you congrats on the marriage and that you were one beautiful bride. Wishing you two a lifetime of happiness. You don't need to include me in the giveaway, but thanks.

Congrats on your wedding! I love cookies with ginger and pumpkin :)
I want the three bags of cookies! Can I request what kind if I win? Sugar and macadamian nut!
Congratulations! You're gorgeous. I can't wait to see more pictures from the wedding. I've missed you and am thrilled that you're back.

Way to get married! Wooo hoo!!
Cookies are almost as awesome as marriage ;)
Giiirl, the back of yo head is ridicalous. Work.that.up-do!
On another note, I'm a big fan of date-squares in the fall, although I'm not sure if that qualifies as a cookie. I love them because they're semi-healthy and holiday-y.
I also love free cookies. You know where to find me: andrealway@gmail.com
Congratulations!
Hey Evan, just wanted to say congrats on your wedding! :-D
