I will be back later to announce the winner....Deb Time again has been flying by and it seems I am not getting very far with the spring cleaning. On a happier note, I do have some great tag sale treasures to report; and I have been planning another giveaway thanks to CSN Stores. They have so much to choose from, everything from cookware to tv stands, that it was difficult to pick just one item!

These are this weeks treasures,
total for all - under $10:

mercury glass candle holder
old aqua-colored bottle
Now, back to the contest...
I know that many of you like to bake the NY Times dutch oven bread,
{and if you haven't, believe me you will love it}
so you have a chance to win a
Rachael Ray Cast Iron 7-Quart Round Dutch Oven in Blue,

Just leave me a comment,
and if you like,
let me know if you've tried the dutch oven bread
or what is your favorite dutch oven cooked meal.

May 21st at noon
when a winner will be chosen at random.
Thank you!!

Just found your blog yesterday and just in time for the fabulous giveaway. I like to make Chili in a dutch oven. I bet it would taste even better.
ReplyDeleteAwesome, and a pretty color! I too have not been up to date on my housework, just too beautiful outside to enjoy.
ReplyDeleteI'd definitely do chili, too - and a great hamburger/vegetable soup we enjoy. To do this in a blue dutch oven would Make My Day! (I use the dutch oven I received with my cookery set when we got married 39 years ago! The handle is off of it and I always have to use a hotpad when lifting the lid.)
ReplyDeleteOh, would love a chance to win this! I have not tried the bread because I don't have a cast iron dutch oven. I have been looking for one at garage sales forever, but it seems to be something that nobody gives up!
ReplyDeleteOh, I'd love to try this bread.....
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried that bread--yet!
ReplyDeleteI love tri-strips cooked in the coals in a cast-iron dutch oven, or peach crisp for camping breakfast. Yum!
i haven't tried the bread but would love to in that beautiful blue dutch oven! thanks for the opportunity!
ReplyDeleteStew... dutch ovens make me think about thick, hearty stew!
ReplyDeleteBread though is right under there because I want to make that amazing artisan type bread.
Wonderful finds, amazing giveaway! Thank you!!!!
I don't have a dutch oven, but I'd love to try! I really want to try the bread.
ReplyDeleteI have tried the Dutch oven bread--it's delicious! We love the crust that develops. I also like to make beef stew in a Dutch oven. (I am writing from my husband's account.)
ReplyDeleteWhat absolutely fabulous finds! I love that table.
ReplyDeleteI never find anything that good at the sales here.
As for the contest...I'd love to win the dutch oven. Not because I've tried the bread, but because I've always wanted a dutch oven. I've got several bread recipes that this would work for, but also lots of casseroles I'd love to make!
Thanks for an opportunity to win.
WOW! What great finds Deb!! I have not been out yardsaling at all yet...but hope too!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the giveaway!!! Thanks for having it! I have never made bread in a dutch oven before...but we have made other things in one!!! :)
thanks for the chance! :)
So when I read the title of the post, I immediately thought that you had found that amazing table during your flea marketing and rummaging adventures and was going to ask for directions. It is lovely, just as your other finds are. I happen to be in the market for a desk, so my eye is trained on tables right now.
ReplyDeleteI was fortunate enough to have relatives chip into together and purchase a LeCrueset cast iron Dutch oven for me two years ago and I love it. From chili to roast, it is my go-to pan. I've used it for bread as well - my favorite is the pepper and chive version I picked up at a Williams Sonoma some time ago. So delicious - it's my favorite fall bread.
Happy rummaging and flea marketing! I love summer!
great treasures you've got there!
ReplyDeleteI never try the dutch oven bread. I will wait to try it until I win this lovely blue dutch oven.
thank you
I have made a "no-knead" bread in my dutch oven before. I wonder if it is the same recipe. It was delicious! I love all your yard sale finds. They are inspiring me to go off and do some hunting of my own this weekend!
ReplyDeleteI tried bread in the dutch oven and wasn't a big fan of it. I do however love it for a baked chicken, chili and creamy homestyle mac and cheese.
ReplyDeleteWow... what great finds! Love the fabric, and that table... sigh...
ReplyDeleteIt's so pretty! My favorite dutch oven meal? Roast beef. Yummy.
ReplyDeleteLove the color...
ReplyDeleteLove making a pork roast with, white potatoes, sweet potatoes and turnips. And the best thing is it tasted even better the second time around :)
I have not heard of dutch oven bread but will soon look it up. I can't wait to see what you sew with your new floral fabric.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite dutch oven meal is chicken and dumplins'! Yum! I haven't tried that bread though.
ReplyDeleteI love the Dutch oven and blue is a predominant theme in my kitchen! I have not yet tried the bread, but I recently discovered Tuscan Peasant Bread which is SO easy, and so crusty and good! I will definitely be trying the Dutch oven bread before it gets too hot to turn on the oven! My favorite Dutch oven dish is a Beef Barley Stew (but sometimes I use venison)- It has besides the meat, of course, barley, Worchestershire Sauce, soy sauce, honey and other good stuff! It's a hearty fall/winter meal! V.
ReplyDeleteI have tasted Dutch Oven Bread made by a knitting friend in her dutch oven, and I would love to have one of my own. Thank you for the give-away.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! My husband likes to cook Italian style roast in a dutch oven. He's a great cook.
ReplyDeleteI love the dutch oven bread.
ReplyDeleteSimple, easy and yummy. My favorite dutch oven dish is roast with carrots and potatoes.
Deb,
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog and what an awesome giveaway you are sponsoring! I love this color and would be so happy to win this and give that bread a try!
I'm looking forward to exploring your blog and invite you to stop by and say hello when you have a moment as well!
Hugs

I can't believe you got all those lovelies for under $10.
ReplyDeleteInstead of spring cleaning here I am getting my home cosy for the coming winter(Australia)
Oh, this would match my cobalt blue dishes perfectly! Haven't tried the dutch oven bread, but would love to.
ReplyDeleteGreat finds! I just love garage sale season. Your new table is too sweet!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've ever used a Dutch oven before, although I've heard the term. I read another commenter who said chili would make a great meal simmering away in a Dutch oven. I agree! thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI love all kinds of cast iron cookware. Iron is healthy; teflon is poison. !!
ReplyDeleteI have not tried the recipe but I love to make a thick stew in a dutch oven.
ReplyDeletedftrew(at)gmail(dot)com
My son has a dutch oven and after using it, mommy had to have one too! I love it, nice heavy cast iron. I love cooking any soups or stews in it. It really is far superior to any pot I have ever owned. I have not tried the dutch oven bread but now I am intrigued...I will this week! Thank you for the super nice giveaway. I have one going on my blog for felted wool kits, please come by and enter and send your friends, Elaine
ReplyDeletethis is so funny. Mom my just got a dutch oven and i was telling her how jealous I am.
ReplyDeleteI really like a good stew with a stout beer. Odd, because we don't drink, but in stew its so yummy and the meat is so tender.
HOpe I win!
thanks Deb.
Oh, I love all your thrifty treasures! I can't believe you got all that goodness for under ten bucks. I have never tried the dutch oven bread. In fact this is the first I've heard of it. Great giveaway. Thanks!
ReplyDelete_Debra
Love your thrift finds! I can't resist Homer Laughlin...I think I have a few small dessert bowls that match the one you found. My favorite thrift find of all time was a set of 6 place settings of HL Red Poppy. I love to use it when Autumn rolls around. The wide soup bowls are perfect for stew or chili...both of which are my favorite things to make in a dutch oven! :)
ReplyDeleteI have never cooked anything in a dutch oven, since I've never owned one! I have, however, had one on my wish list for oh, about 2 years now!
ReplyDeleteOh my ...now that you've pointed me to that awesome youtube video of no-knead bread, I'm already better off than when I arrived! Wow ...neat idea! Please accept my entry, and thank you for the chance to win this beautiful Dutch oven!
ReplyDeleteI love your new table, chippy paint and all. The dutch oven giveaway if wonderful.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, congratulations on the neat thrift finds. All are items I'd grab if I saw them in a sale.
ReplyDeleteI've not tried the dutch oven bread, but am now anxious to click that link to see the recipe!
My favorite thing to cook in my old, black cast iron dutch oven is a pot roast. I always used to make it in the crockpot, but ever since I first tried it in my cast iron dutch oven, I've never gone back to the crockpot with it. It just comes out so perfect and tasty, hard to describe, but so very delicious cooked that way. :-)
Aloha Deb;
ReplyDeleteWow, I would love to have such a beautiful dutch oven! I have a stainless steel one that I use to cook pot roast. I love using one pot for everything. I brown the roast then finish it off in the oven. No need to stand in front of a hot stove when the oven can finish the cooking.
Thanks for sharing!
I would probably make a stew. Thanks for this giveaway!
ReplyDeleteMy sister makes bread this way. I even gave her MY cast iron dutch oven so that she could make it properly. So I could use a replacement. =)
ReplyDeleteLove the flea market finds! Thrift stores are pretty pathetic here in DE. Next week I'm going home to MI for a wedding and will get my thrifting fix there.
I don't have a piece of cookware like this...but would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to try!!!
ReplyDeleteLove your new treasures! Can't wait to see what the fabric turns into. And another great give away. I like to cook roasts and even chickens in a big cast iron pot, although I don't have one as nice as the give away!
ReplyDeleteSheila
You were the first blog I stumbled upon two years ago, looking for knitted dishcloths. I have since been hooked on blogs, its like a whole new world! I do not have a blog, but someday...
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting me enter the give-away!
You have a beautiful blog!
Nice job on the treasure hunt!
ReplyDeleteI would love a dutch oven. There are so many things that I want to cook in one!
I would dearly love to try anything in a Dutch oven! In the mean time, I'm knitting up a stack of washcloths using your pattern...
ReplyDeletei've been wanting to try that bread recipe for some time now, but don't have a dutch oven! :( would love one. :)
ReplyDeleteMy fav dutch oven recipe is a peach/blueberry cobbler. We used to take the local scouts on camp-outs where we used the campfire dutch oven to make chicken fajitas & cobbler and the boys would be amazed. But one time, my hubby inadvertedly placed the lid on the gravel instead of the bricks where he was SUPPOSED to, and we had to be careful about eating the cobbler b/c it got little rocks in it!!! Good times. I'd love a dutch oven we could use in our regular kitchen instead of the campfire monster that only gets used once a year.
ReplyDeleteThanks for having a giveaway.
~ teresa
I've been wanting a dutch oven for years!
ReplyDeleteI love Cast Iron; but have not tried this bread you speak of but would if I win this dutch oven.
ReplyDeleteLove my cast iron pots. I have made the bread. Initially I had to be brave to deal with the heat but it was worth the effort. Sadly I haven't made it for a long while. I might this weekend.
ReplyDeleteI have not tried bread made like that before.
ReplyDeleteI have not tried the dutch over bread but would love too. I love the little painted table. It's perfect.
ReplyDeleteI've made this bread, as well as, the ABin5. Love it! So simple and you get great tasting bread. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteLove all of your garage sale finds! and what a great give away.
ReplyDeleteI still have yet to learn how to go yard saling. You know how they say that one man's junk is another man's treasure? Well, I always come with another man's......junk. sigh!
ReplyDeleteSpring came so early this year. All of our indoor projects got cut short - even some of the spring cleaning.
Oh how fun! Yes, I've tried the dutch oven bread, and it works great! After making it a few times, my husband decided to try, and now it's his thing that he makes for friends and family!
ReplyDeleteYes, I have tried the bread in a dutch oven. It is an easy way to get good bread. But my dutch oven is an old aluminum one and I would love to have a beautiful cast iron one. Thanks for the giveaway. Terry
ReplyDeleteI'm waiting to try this bread, as my Dutch oven got packed in the "pre-moving cleaning up to sell the house" frenzy. Can't wait to actually move and find all my favorite things again!
ReplyDeleteI just love your blog! i have never used a dutch oven, but would love to!
ReplyDeleteOh goodie, another give away. If I were to be the lucky winner of that snazzy dutch oven, I cook a lamb roast in it - the dutch oven could work its magic & present a delish. dinner. Yum!
ReplyDeleteDeb,
ReplyDeleteWow, what wonderful finds! You always find the best items that have so much charm :) Please enter me in your generous giveaway, I have been wanting a cast-iron Dutch Oven forever :)
Have a great day!
Sharon
Wow! That is my kind of bread!! Awesomely easy--I've gotta try it. My favorite dutch oven recipe has to be homemade chicken noodle soup--I used to make it all the time for my children. I'd love to win your giveaway and make bread, bread, bread! :)
ReplyDeleteI have not made the dutch oven bread. I tried a recipe yesterday to make yeast dinner rolls, but something went wrong, and I had to toss the whole blob of (unrisen) dough. My favorite dutch oven meal is homemade soup that simmers for hours on a cold winter day! dsb448@att.net
ReplyDeleteI love the pot. My favorite meal to cook in a dutch oven is a roast chicken with potatoes, carrots and onions.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway!!! I would love to enter for a chance for this dutch oven. The bread sounds great! I have so many ideas for baking and making soups, stews and bread.
ReplyDeletePam
I love a good dutch oven. THANK YOU!
ReplyDeleteWow! That's a lot of great stuff for less than $10! How fun!
ReplyDeleteI haven't used a dutch oven in years but have been thinking of trying it again. The last time I did, it was a recipe that had applesauce on the bottom and a gingerbread cake on the top. It was delicious!
I've actually never used a dutch oven so I would love the chance to try.
ReplyDeleteI love that little painted table! What will you do with it?
ReplyDeleteHmmm...I don't have a dutch oven but I have had the best cornbread ever that my friend made in her dutch oven. Thanks, Deb.
Your flea market finds are excellent! I racked up some vintage embroidered linens last week, myself. I haven't made the NYT bread in my dutch oven, but I've made other breads. So yummy! Although I think my favorite thing to make in it is chicken & dumplings.
ReplyDeleteI would love to be the winner of your dutch oven give-away! I bake several loaves of no-knead bread every week using pyrex dishes but think the dutch oven would make them even better. Thank you for your beautiful blog and a great give-away!
ReplyDeletewhat a GREAT giveaway! I haven't tried the bread, but I love to make a roast in a dutch oven.
ReplyDeleteI love your blog and I would love a chance to win. I really need a good dutch oven.
ReplyDeleteGreat thrifting finds. I went out Saturday but did not get any great deals. I'll keep on trying. I especially love the table.
Ruth
I just was reading a no-knead bread recipe in Cook's Illustrated that uses a dutch oven. I would love to try it!
ReplyDeleteAren't garage sales fun? It is true that "one man's trash can be another man's treasure." I would love to win the dutch oven. It would get lots of use at our house and be very well taken care of!
ReplyDeletei'd love to win that cutie pie dutch oven....i'd make paula deen's goulash recipe in there and share it with all of you! pretty please!
ReplyDeleteSadly, I don't have a dutch oven :(
ReplyDeleteBut gosh, maybe someday I will (wink wink)....I would put it to good use, I'm sure of that! I love to cook.

in the winter I love baking our chicken curry in it ... along with some of our winter squash. I have also baked the bread and was surprised at how easy it was.
ReplyDeleteOooh the dutch oven bread sounds lovely, and I don't own a dutch oven so I'd LOVE to win one!
ReplyDeleteI try to make everything I can in an enameled dutch oven. Haven't tried the bread, yet, but I will!
ReplyDeleteI thought everyone else would make the same comment as me "Wow! Including the table!" Great finds!
ReplyDeleteHaven't made the bread but would love to win the dutch oven and try it.

ReplyDeleteOur friend vicki made a birthday cake over an open fire in a dutch oven while she worked at Mackinaw Island many years ago.
ReplyDeleteI have had rabbit stew cooked in a dutch oven as well, again next to an open fire and coals on top.

Wow Deb, great giveaway! I have never cooked in a dutch oven, but would love to try.
ReplyDeleteClaire
Beautiful finds. I love stews in a dutch oven, can't I say I ever thought of making bread in one before!
ReplyDelete~Andrea~
What a beautiful dutch oven! I have made the bread and it is the best! I have used my dutch oven for soups, spaghetti sauce, bread and more but with my growing family it's just too small. Having another one would be wonderful!
ReplyDeleteSusanne
I haven't tried the bread - and our dutch oven cooking up to now has been camfire cooking, with peach cobbler the clear favorite! I've been so eager to get a dutch oven for my kitchen and love the cobalt blue! Thanks for a fantastic blog and such fun giveaways.
ReplyDeleteI have not been able to try the "no-knead" bread, as I don't own a Dutch Oven. I bake traditional bread, but would love to change things up a bit! Thanks for offering the give-a-way!
ReplyDeleteOh my! I just started cooking a year ago with a Dutch oven, but have to borrow my mother's all the time (I should pilfer it!). I also should just go BUY one, but haven't gotten around to it, they're expensive and.....ok, no excuses. My favorite thing to make in the Dutch oven is the desserts. And I have the book for the breads, too, but ....another to-do in the future...maybe with my NEW, WON, beautiful blue Dutch oven..haha
ReplyDeleteWe had a cast iron dutch oven we would put in the coals of a fire. My husband would cut up a chicken, add sliced onions, garlic, squash, peppers (hot and sweet), pour olive oil and chopped tomatoes over it all, cover. Cook and cook and cook. Sadly we sold the duth oven before we went to Romania for a year.
ReplyDeleteI'm in! No, I have not tried the Dutch oven bread, but would like too! Love your site!:)
ReplyDeleteDebbie
Oooo, please enter me for a chance to win the beautiful Dutch oven. I have never heard of Dutch oven bread but would LOVE to try it.

I've always wanted to try Dutch oven cooking - the bread sounds wonderful!

ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day!
Lovely...My favorite recipe for the dutch oven is the Lamb Stew from the Le Creuset cook book

ReplyDeleteLove your flea market finds! I can't wait to try the Dutch Oven Bread recipe!
ReplyDeleteI love dutch oven bread. I can only imagine it would tast much better in a pretty blue dutch oven rather than my plain old oven. Thank you for offering such a grate giveaway! I love reading your blog!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite dutch oven recipes are pot roast (oven) and chili (stovetop). I am definitely going to try the bread recipe and would love to have a new blue dutch oven. Mine is very old! But still a keeper!
ReplyDeleteI have never had a dutch oven but I would love to try one!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you got all that for $10! And I've been in the market for a dutch oven!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a fun giveaway!!!
