- Andrea Ortlieb who said “Over Christmas each year, instead of buying presents for her 10 children, their spouses and children, my grandma would rent a hotel room for two nights for each family. We would all gather together to spend time swimming, laughing, and enjoying each other’s company. It was something we all looked forward to year in and year out. We would all bring a dish to pass as we shared a meal and memories of the past year. While the destination was usually about 15 minutes from home, it was the best vacation of the year, each year for over two decades!”
- Lynda M who said “Hilton Head Island is my favorite vacation spot! We’ve been going every year for the past 20 years and we love it!”]
For today’s giveaway, I’m giving TWO 7-quart Cuisinart Multi Cook Slow Cookers!
YOU GUYS!! This is the slow cooker than I am downright OBSESSED with. You can sear, brown and saute in the crock of this slow cooker. That means no searing on the stove and transferring to the slow cooker – it can all be done in ONE place! I love this so much and have been ranting and raving about it for over a year now. Perfection.

1. Simone who said ” I also pre-ordered The Pretty Dish in August (and sent an email on Monday).”
2. Tamar Strauss-Benjamin who said ” Best gift…wow…hard to think about that but probably my teddy bear that still is the number one “lovey” in my life. This year marks 24 years together (:”
3. David Gebhardt who said ” About 15 years ago on Christmas Eve I was in the car with my mom on the way to a party and we broke down in the middle lane of I-95 and we were completely stranded with a decent amount of traffic around, well before my mom had a cell phone. After about 10 minutes of waving at cars, hoping that someone would stop for us…a car pulled up behind us then heard what was wrong…moved his car to entirely block the right lane traffic and helped us push it to the shoulder, let us borrow his cell phone to call for help, gave crying me a box of chocolates, and drove away without even saying his name, as he didn’t want any kind of reward, just told us Merry Christmas and drove off.”]

As an adult, I’ve never vacationed in the same spot twice. I figure, why would I go somewhere I’ve been, if I can experience something new? That said, this past spring I fell in love with the Maine coastline. As a Wisconsinite, I had yet to see the appeal of an ocean coastline (Florida didn’t do it for me) but Maine – oh, Maine was a breathtaking delight.
I pre-ordered the book!
Ahhhh every time you mention this I want it so much! lol. My favourite vacation spot was Costa Del Sol, Spain!
Charleston! The food, the southern hospitality, the history! I love it all!
Hm. That’s tough! But I think my favorite spot has to be Imerovigli, Santorini. Amazing food and the cliffside is just unreal.
Growing up, my parents would rent a beach house (literally) 20 minutes from our home in NJ. All of our friends and family would come down on different days. The town is called Manasquan and, since living in Pittsburgh as an adult, it fits the bill to cure my landlocked blues. It’s definitely only of my favorite spots in the world.
I really enjoy taking trips to Las Vegas!
My favorite vacation spot is Bermuda!
I don’t really have a favorite vacation spot, but my favorite vacation was to Punta Cana with my husband for our honeymoon!
Costa Rica was amazing, even after my husband almost drove us off a cliff. What an adventure! Haha.
And this slow cooker!! Every time you mention it I tell myself I need to get one.
I love going to Vermont – it’s perfect any time of year!
France is probably my favorite vacation spot! Spend a few days in Paris, then take the TGV to Provence, rent a car, and tool around the south! Take me back now!
Block Island! A small island off of Rhode Island. Having been visiting every summer since birth, and this past summer visited with my newborn son for the first time. It is truly my favorite place on 🌏.
I got to spend a few days in Sydney, Australia and it was gorgeous! I wanted to stay forever.
I loved Hawaii when I was there about 20 years ago. It was beautiful. Now, every summer I go to Northern Ontario in Canada and spend time on a gorgeous lake. It’s become my favorite place. :)
My favorite vacation spot is San Diego!
My favorite vacation spot is Costa Rica! I want to get back there soon!
Kiawah Island in South Carolina! It’s the ultimate relaxation and getaway with flat beaches for riding bikes and soaking up the sun! And we always do a weekend in Charleston before or after and go to all the delicious restaurants! 😍
I’m not sure I have a favorite vacation spot since I love traveling to new places, but of all the places I’ve visited so far in my life, Switzerland has to be my favorite :)
My favorite vacation spot is Mammoth Lakes in CA.
My favorite vacation spot is Turks and Caicos!!!
My favorite vacation spot is Hawaii! Too excited that my family is going back next summer.
Hawaii – anywhere in Hawaii. But there are so many places I haven’t been yet…I can’t wait to find a new favorite.
I love Disney World!!!
OBX! Went every year with my mom’s family growing up and still go every summer.
My favorite vacation spot is Destin, Florida! Grew up going with my family and now my husband and I are carrying on the tradition. For now, just the two of us, eventually with our kids!
Absolutely hands down my favorite vacation spot is the Caribbean! The water is so blue and clear. That is my happy place.
My favorite vacation spot is the beach. Any beach!
Pretty Dish Preordered!
Punta Cana! We went for our honeymoon this year and it was the ultimate vacation spot!

I love any vacation where I get to explore a new city/town and get to spend time outdoors!
I honestly love to travel anywhere, but I have to say, being in Maine in the freezing cold right now, my favorite spot is St. John on the beach in the warmth. It is just so beautiful there!
I preordered my book, and emailed you earlier this week!
my favorite vacation spot is puerta vallarta, MX. My husband and I got engaged there. Its beautiful and so many good memories!
My favorite vacation spot…..hmmm thats a tough one as I love to travel but I would have to say Northern Michigan! There is nothing like a Northern Michigan summer filled with sun, sand and family and friends!
My favorite vacation spot is Boca Grande in Florida! My family went there last year and it was the perfect hideaway for a week filled with the ocean, pina coladas and yummy dinners on the patio!
Our family has vacationed in the same spot on the southern coast of Washington for most of my life. Even though it’s not always warm or pleasant, the memories are the best part!
Anywhere in Mexico as long as it’s on the water.
Favorite vacation spot is Cabo! Just under a 2 hour plane ride for us which is great when traveling with the kiddos!
Also preordered the gorgeous cookbook! 😍
Favorite vaca spot is probably Thailand. So beautiful- and you can’t beat the friendly people or the food!!
Choosing a favourite vacation spot is a tough one! I don’t typically travel to the same place twice. My trip to Tanzania in 2011 where I climbed Mt Kilimanjaro, went on safari and visited the island of Zanzibar is definitely one of the highlights of my life!
My favorite vacation spot is northern Michigan. Best state on the planet!
My favorite vacation spot is Catalina Island! It is the most relaxing and beautiful place that I have ever been to!

I love Seaside, Florida. I feel like I stepped back in time.
I’m partial to Martha’s Vineyard and Northern California.
My favorite vacation so far was to Costa Rica. It was a spur of the moment trip to go meet a friend who was working down there and it turned out to be an epic vacation of hiking, crazy monkeys, waterfalls, amazing meals by my chef friend, tents on the beach, infinity pool overlooking the marina… ahhh I wish I could redo this trip!
