    I’m giddy excited for this day!! I may have even wrapped some Christmas presents this weekend 🙂 And I’ve been dying to try out an air fryer so fingers crossed!

  6. Elizabeth Feldpausch says

    Happy September! We are going to the Great Smokey Mountains next month and this has me wanting to pack I’m so excited for cooler weather and cozy mornings!! And now I feel totally behind because I’ve usually started Christmas shopping by now and I haven’t done anything on that front!!

      • Sharmin says

        My first time to comment but I read your blog everyday. I live in a little TN town 1.5 hours from the great Smoky Mountains. They are beautiful…especially during the fall. You should visit.
        I’m hoping for the crock pot:)

  8. Melissa A Hildreth says

    I would definitely choose the air fryer! I have been reading your blog for about a year, and I always enjoy reading about Air Fryer recipes!

  9. Mary Ellen says

    This is such a fun way to start the fall season! Happy September!!!!Thank you for your generosity!!!

  10. Lisa D says

    I love the first “unofficial day of Fall”! Crisp and cooler mornings, leaves starting to turn, apple scented candles, colorful mums…. what’s not to love?

  12. Beth Baxter says

    I’ve been excited to try an air fryer but haven’t bought one yet. Would love one!
    Happy September!

  14. Ralinn says

    Happy September. I’m looking forward to PSL’s and cooler weather. We are in need of a slow cooker. This is perfect timing.
    We are headed to Montana soon and looking forward to family and mountains. Cheers to FALL.

  15. Lynn Baker says

    HAPPY🍂September🍁
    I’m happy fall is around the corner too😍
    Thanks for this great giveaway!!

  16. Kelly says

    What a fun giveaway for the fall! It would be a hard decision which one I would want….between the slow cooker and the air fryer. I have been wanting to upgrade my slow cooker and I’m intrigued about the air fryer and have thought about getting one of those. I was excited to put chicken in the crockpot this morning following your chicken crock pot taco recipe! It will be so nice to have dinner practically ready when we get home today. Happy September!

  18. Colleen McTeague says

    As my crockpot insert just cracked (after making your delicious sweet corn chili, which is as good as it sounds!!!!), this would be a perfect time to win one!!

  19. Krista Denny says

    What is your favorite kids activity tracker (fit bit)? My almost 9 year old wants one for her birthday.

  20. Lora LaRosa says

    Happy September 1st!! I would definitely pick the air fryer. I have been thinking about getting one for a while. Anything to help speed with meal preparation helps. Have a good day!!

  22. Julianne says

    Shay, I love your enthusiasm for all things autumn! I feel like I start coming alive as the temps begin to cool and the leaves begin to fall. I LOVE IT! Cooking, baking, reading, cozy blankets, fuzzy socks, fire pits, hot drinks, pumpkin everything, I AM HERE FOR ALL OF IT! (except the PSL at Starbucks – just can’t do it) I would love an air fryer – so many things I want to try and your new GF approach makes it all the easier for me. Blessings. xo

  23. Cristin says

    We are stationed in the Middle East right now and it is cooling down here today as well. Fall is in the air! Today’s high was only 120F. Much cooler than the 145F we were experiencing in July. All these “Fall” posts make me miss home so much!

  24. Kathy says

    What a great way to start the fall season! We love slow cooker/crockpot meals this time of year. The Insta Pot seems a little complicated to me, but the air fryer creates yummy meals–we just need a lot more recipe ideas for it!

  26. Jodie Kingsbury says

    I’d love to win the air fryer but the rafflecopter isn’t showing up on my screen. I’ll check for it later so I don’t miss out on the chance to enter.
    Your bog is amazing and I get so many great ideas from it.
    Thanks!

  27. Julie says

    This is so fun, Shay! And awesome! I would totally love an air fryer. I have the other two, but my boys (3 teenagers) keep begging for an air fryer saying the food is so much better in that than the oven! (They have used one at grandma’s house.) Come on fall! 🙂

  28. Jeanine says

    It would be great to have an air fryer as I’ve heard so many good things about them, specifically how great wings turn out!

  29. Kate says

    I love my air fryer (use it daily like you all do!) Have wanted to try an instant pot for so long and could really use a new slow cooker, mine is 20 years old but still works like brand new which is why I haven’t replaced it!
    Have you tried corn on the cob in the air fryer? It is so good, it gets nice and crispy but still stays moist! Or baking? I have made a small banana bread in it, the outside is so crunchy and the inside so prefect!! I could talk all day about what I cook in my air fryer! LOL

  30. Kaci says

    I’m having my first baby in feb. Whether I win or not, I *need* an air fryer. I’ve heard too many good things!!

  31. Sandra Roberts says

    I am about to read some of your previous fall posts now! I love September but October is my absolute fav month ever!

  33. Kathleen says

    Happy Autumn, Shay!! Just lit my Fall candles and am sipping on a pumpkin coffee- literalLy a small piece of heaven on earth. I would love to upgrade my slow cooker, if you were to choose me BUT I will be happy for whomever is picked! Have a blessed day!

  36. Jen says

    Yay for fall! My favorite season (and honestly, anything that gets us closer to this year being over is a good thing! LOL). Thanks for the giveaway! I thought I was to the point where I don’t want anymore kitchen gadgets, but all of your air fryer posts have had me re-thinking that the past few weeks!

  37. Angela says

    Happy September! I have been doing a lot of thinking about purchasing an Instant Pot or Air Fryer. I use my crock pot so much this time of year!

  38. Elizabeth Kelly says

    I’ve had my eye on that air fryer since you posted it, but couldn’t pull the trigger!

  40. Amanda says

    Happy September 1st Shay!! I don’t think a September 1st will go by without me thinking of you! Hope your day is full of blardigans, pumpkin, and all things fall

  41. Susan Gullord says

    What a fun giveaway! Bring on fall… pumpkin and more pumpkin. I also heard a radio station is starting to play Christmas music 24×7 till Christmas… uh, yes, please! I broke my last air fryer… it was a blonde moment for me. I would not break another one after knowing how I broke the last one.

  42. Cindy Cummings says

    Omg! This post just made my morning!🧡What a great and positive way to start off this new fall month! I’ve heard only amazing things about the Air Fryer and already have this on my Christmas Wish List. What a fun fall giveaway! 🎃🍁🍂

  43. Julie says

    Happy Fall! Fixing to light my Pumpkin candle and it is rainy and dark here this morning! YAY! I would love to have the instant pot. Love my slow cooker but sometimes I want to be able to whip something up quickly.

  45. Denise M. says

    Such a great fall giveaway!
    I am never sure if my Rafflecopter entries are entered or not. There are check marks next to the options (FB, Pinterest, Email) but it never says “entry submitted” or anything like that. Should it?
    Thanks!

  48. Kristen B. Smith says

    Yes, September 1st has finally arrived! So excited for a new season! Praying it brings all the coziness, family time, and peace in the chaos that we all need! Thanks for sharing your excitement with the rest of us!

  49. Debbra Weber says

    I love using my crock pot and air fryer. I just bought my air fryer a few months ago and had a little incident, dropped and bent the side of the basket so it doesn’t slide in flush with the rest of the unit. #I’maclutz! My Instant Pot has been and is still in its box. One of these days, I’ll give it a try! 🙂

  50. Kelly Bonner says

    When I realized it was September 1st, my first thought was hey it’s Shay’s favorite day.

  51. Heather S says

    Happy 1st Day of our Fall, Shay🍂🎃🍁 Soooooooo ready for cooler temps and crockpot season, we’re cooking your Angel Chicken tomorrow!

  53. Heather Young says

    Happy September!! If anything can make 2020 better it’s FALL! 😍 Would LOVE to add an air fryer to my kitchen!

  55. Megan says

    We woke up to 42 degrees…my apple candle is burning, slow/cozy music on and a blanket over my lap :-)…YAY for fall! I’m so curious about the Air Fryer…crossing my fingers. Thank you!

  56. Kara says

    You are so sweet! My husband is hoping I win the slow cooker as my anniversary gift!! 😂😂 happy first day of fall! 😉🎃

  57. Leslee says

    I love this day as well! It’s got that new school supply feeling!
    I’ll take any of the three. I don’t have any of them.

  59. Barbara Griffin says

    My granddaughter and her husband love the Air-Fryer. Use it every night. That’s would I would like.

    Blesslings!!!

  61. Dana says

    Have you ever had a caramel apple spice from Starbucks? I hadn’t had one in over 10 years until last weekend and I forgot how amazing they are!! I had them reduce the pumps of caramel or whatever down from 3 to 2 to pretend like it’s a little healthier. 🙂 Happy September, Shay!

  62. Bren says

    I love my slow cooker & air fryer. I need to try the InstaPot, just not sure… Happy September 1st, Shay!

  64. Pamela Redd says

    Thank you for this fun giveaway!!! I love a good slow cooker. We use them for parties and pretty much weekly fall through the winter. I’ve read your post on the the air fryer and I think yours is bigger than ours. We are a family of 7 so maybe having 2 would work better for us!!! I hope I win lol!!!! Because me actually buying another air fryer would get nixed from the hubby. I set up all my fall decorations this week-end. Happy Fall!!! Happy September!!!

  65. Holly says

    What a perfect giveaway for fall! My daughter has asked for either an Instant pot or a slow cooker for her 21st birthday on the 29th😊

  66. Susan Jeffries says

    Yay! Thank you! our daughter recently went back to college and has her first apartment! She took most of our kitchen supplies with her. lol. A new slow cooker would be awesome! I love back to school time too. It feels more like a new beginning than January does(:

  71. Janelle says

    Happy Sept 1st Shay!!! We are gearing Our family up to start a hybrid school year. I can only imagine what yummy and quick recipes an air fryer could create on a work/school night.

  72. Laura says

    Happy “Your favorite day” of the year Shay!! I’m ready to light me a good smelling pumpkin candle and win a new air fryer or crock pot to cook all the yummy recipes you provide us! 🥰

  73. Joy says

    Happy September! I love fall (born in October) and can’t wait to start putting up some fall decor in my home. I would love to win this giveaway! I would choose the air fryer. I’ve read your reviews on it and it sounds so easy to use and saves time on cooking!
