Rescue My Appliances Contest

Posted by html404 on October 5, 2010
in Contests

Ok, this is truly going to be humbling. Brandfluential told us about the KitchenAid “Rescue My Appliances” contest and we are in the process of trying to tidy up our kitchen so we can take a picture of our discrepit, in need of an over-haul, been-waiting-two-years-to-be-remodeled kitchen. Our fridge is about 7 years old and is still in decent shape, but has a door shelf that is broken and useless. Our stove is only about 3 years old, but the handle is broken and the door is falling apart, the overhead fan is the original so its 17 years old and a friend just found our dishwasher on freecycle, which we will be testing tonight to see if it works since my husband just brought it home last night. We don’t have a microwave but I’d love a space saver if it would fit over our stove. There you have it and here is our kitchen…..

Drum roll please…..

We would love to have your support and ask that you vote for us to win brand new Kitchen Aid appliances in the “Rescue My Appliances” contest! I am still waiting for an “approval” link so I will update it here and send our a tweet and add it to Facebook once I have it.

Thanks!

S’mores Smiles! :-)

Posted by html404 on July 22, 2010
in Contests, Food and Treats

This post was written because I am entering a contest for a S’mores prize pack as a member of the Mom Bloggers Club.

You know growing up I usually had S’mores during a campout or when our family was camping. My husband isn’t fond of camping so we don’t camp, but we do enjoy INdoor campouts with the children camping out downstairs under our diningroom table or livingroom. They all love it! It has become a September/October family tradition. We roast hotdogs and marshmallows over the burner of our stove. Some years we even cut roasting sticks, other years we use long handled barbecue forks – all under our watchful eye.

For writing this post, I may just win a Hershey’s and Kraft S’mores prize pack complete with Hershey®’s Milk Chocolate bars, Honey Maid® Graham Crackers, Kraft Jet-Puffed® Marshmallows and a special S’mores skewers kit! That would get us ahead in planning this year’s INdoor campout, wouldn’t it?
Visit
www.SmoresSmiles.com for more opportunities to win prizes from Kraft.

Food Network Star Helps Other Cooks Hone their Culinary Talents

Whether it’s that crowd-pleasing appetizer or your family’s favorite casserole, every great recipe has a go-to ingredient that provides a special touch and creates an inspired flavor. That’s why Philadelphia Cream Cheese and Food Network star Paula Deen have teamed up to host the Real Women of Philadelphia community and casting competition on www.PaulaDeen.com/RealWomen. Home cooks across the country are invited to share how they bring everyday dishes to life with Philly for a chance to win $25,000 and be named one of the Real Women of Philadelphia.

On March 22, cooks began visiting www.PaulaDeen.com/RealWomen to join the Real Women of Philadelphia community and on March 29 they started submitting video auditions showcasing how they use Philly in their favorite dishes – whether it’s their secret ingredient for smooth mashed potatoes or the perfect creamy pasta sauce. Paula has joined the fun too and has posted weekly videos sharing how she prepares her favorite recipes, along with her down-home ideas, tips and tricks.

“I love to take a traditional meal and give it my own twist by adding a new and unexpected ingredient like Philly,” said Paula Deen. “Since I got my start through hard work and determination, I jumped at the chance to give talented home cooks the opportunity to shine through the Real Women of Philadelphia community.”

Based on their videos, 16 lucky finalists have been invited to a live cook-off with Paula in Savannah, Georgia. Each contestant’s recipe will be judged by Paula and her friends and four lucky ladies will be named the Real Women of Philadelphia – winning $25,000 and the opportunity to host their own weekly online cooking show on www.PaulaDeen.com/RealWomen.
