As hot as it was this summer, and as much as people had sworn off their stoves, much less their ovens, I noticed across the interwebs that there was one outstanding exception. Desserts.

Share a supper recipe on Facebook in the midst of the summer heat, even one that required only a quick pass in the oven and people moaned about the thought of turning on an oven, but share a delectable dessert that had to bake an hour and it's Facebook Shares Go Wild!

Southerners overwhelmingly love their desserts, no matter the temperature outside, and we're clearly willing to turn on our ovens on a hot summer day to satisfy that sweet tooth. Was this you? Well, Southern Living has just the cookbook for you!

Southern Living has been a trusted source for recipes for years, and they have been digging through and reworking their extensive 45 years of recipe archives, to round up some of their best, introducing some impressive cookbooks the past few years.

Southern Living Classic Southern Desserts is a fine representation of just that. For a chance to win a copy for yourself, read on!
