UPDATE: This giveaway is now closed.
Congrats to Jenny {orosco99@…} out of over 300 Facebook and WordPress comments, you were randomly selected as the winner!! I will email you today to get your information!
During the cooler fall months, I become obsessed with cooking and baking!
Tell me you can relate?
I’ve already posted several recipes for my favorite Fall soups, desserts, snacks, a very simple roasting tutorial {that you really need to try} and I know I’ll be posting several more Fall and Holiday favorites over the next couple of months — so be on the look out!
My recent obsession with cooking and baking is due to several factors:
1. I don’t need to turn my air conditioning on to use the stove and oven all day
2. All the delicious comfort foods just sounds SO good this time of year
3. I’m told that women who are almost 8 months pregnant start to “nest” and become addicted to cleaning, cooking, baking, etc!! Yup, that’s me 🙂
4. I got a brand new set of Anolon Nouvelle Copper Stainless Steel Cookware — and of course I had to test out every piece multiple times!
What I love about the Anolon Stainless Steal:
1. Obviously, the first thing that comes to mind is that they look absolutely AMAZING sitting on my stove top {especially now that it’s clean} or anywhere else. I’ve actually thought about leaving a few of them out all the time just because they are so pretty!
2. Second, I know I’m cooking with much healthier tools because I don’t have to use much oil or butter {only if I want to!!}, and I don’t have to worry about tiny bits of Teflon scraping off into our food.
3. Third, this cookware was designed for home cooks who enjoy using pro-style stainless steel equipment, but at a more affordable price and with more practicality of traditional non-stick!
The non-reactive stainless steel interior surface won’t react with acidic foods and provides the ideal surface for searing and sautéing foods at high temperatures. The mirror-polished stainless steel exterior includes a magnetic stainless steel base enhanced with a layer of copper to deliver fast and even heating, as well as ensure compatibility with all cooktops, including energy-efficient induction burners.
4. Fourth, these pans are oven AND dishwasher safe!!! Need I say more 🙂
So are you drooling yet?
Good, because you have a chance to win a full 10-piece set of this gorgeous cookware!!!

1.25 qt. Saucepan and lid
2.5 qt. Sauce pan and lid
3 qt. Saute pan and lid
6.5 qt. Stock pot and lid

This is an amazing giveaway {valued at over $300} and I just know you’ll love this set as much as I do!
Enter to Win:
Simply leave a comment telling me if you would use these pans for yourself OR if you would give them as a gift this holiday season — and it’s OK to be “selfish”!
This contest is open until Monday, October 3, 2011, at 10:00 pm EST. ONE winner will be selected at random and announced later that week. Please read my full disclosure policy and contact me with any questions you might have. I received a complimentary set of cookware for review, however all opinions are my own!

I would give these to my parents as a gift. They have been letting my hubby, son, and I stay with them as we save up for our first house and it has been such a blessing.

I would love to have this set of cookware. I have been looking for a set a great price.
Brooke @ Waiting to Rise says
I would totally be selfish and take them for myself. I have been cooking with the same non stick pots/pans since college…and they are old now! These look fab…I have alot of Anolon baking products so I’d be excited to try these!
Thanks!

I would LOVE a new set of cookware. I would give away my current set and keep the new ones.
Bekah says
I’m going the “selfish” route ๐ I have been keeping my eye out for a cookware set – we have a mixture of hand me down pots and pans from all different sets. This looks great – thanks for sharing!
Kari says
I would likely split the set. Keep a few and give a few to my sister!
Sue says

I would love to make the switch to stainless, but I’ve been a little nervous. Winning these would sure help! ๐
LOVE the new blog changes, by the way!
Laura M. says
I would love to win this!! I’ve been wanting to make the switch to stainless, so I would prob keep this for myself! ๐
Maria says
These are beautiful! I’ve been ridding my kitchen of aluminum and other less-healthful kinds of cookware. So far I’ve replaced them with glass and cast iron, but some of these stainless steel beauties would be fun to try.
kama says
It would be so cool to win these! We are using pots and pans that I bought before we got married that aren’t that great. Then we have a few that we registered for, but these look MUCH nicer! I would definitely give them a good home. Crossing my fingers!!
Barb says
Give them away???? No way! I’m trying to take better care of myself and eat healthier so new cookware would be a great start!
Kim T. says
I posted a comment of FB.
millie says
Wow. I would love this for myself. My husband and I are splitting up after 17 years and we received a basic set of Revereware pots and pans from my sister as a wedding gift. It’s on it’s last legs with only usable pieces left being a 2 qt saucepan and the skillet–whose handle keeps coming unscrewed!
Courtney M. says
My Pots and Pans are old and cheap. I bought them in university for less than $50 for the whole set and I graduated 6 years ago!
Kim T. says
This cookware is fabulous looking! I would definately keep it for myself!
Jade says
I just tweeted about your giveaway! Thanks!
Jade says
I would be selfish and keep them for myself! I have been wanting a good set of pans for a while now! Our nine year old Teflon pans are starting to flake off. I wish I would have just made the investment on nice pots & pans in the first place! Oh well, live and learn, right?!
Catherine says
These pots and pans are amazing! I would love to get them because I have been hoping to switch to nicer pans! I am crossing my fingers I win!
Tammy says
I would totally keep these ๐
Lauren K. says
I would completely use these! We registered for some nice pots and pans for our wedding, but did not get them. Until we can save up, we’re using some junky stuff we have left over from college all of which are teflon. Love the look and functionality of these!
Heather G. says
These pots and pans would definitely go to my parents for Christmas!!! They are currently using the Teflon style, and they just look icky! These would be an upgrade over their current collection for sure. Thanks, Andrea!
Julie says
Yup, I’m being selfish. If I won, they would be for me, myself and I. I cook everyday and lots of days I cook for all 3 meals. I do have a set of pans but they aren’t supposed to be put in the dishwasher! And who likes to wash pans?? uh…not me.
Heather says
I would be so tempted to keep these for myself, but I got new pots and pans last year for Christmas, so I would give these to my mom.
Cyndy Bunn says
I would love this set because my pans are mismatched from Goodwill, 1 or 2 teflon pans, and some remaining wedding gifts from 17 years ago. I don’t have quality pans.
