]]> I know..it has been awhile since I did a giveaway. Life gets crazy, you know?

But this is a good one. Remember the 101 Things to Do with Meatballs and Farm Rich review a did a month or so ago?

You don’t? Man, how quickly they forget. This one.

meatballs

Well they sent me FOUR books and FOUR coupons for free product to give away. That means you have ..umm..alot of chances to win. You get an entry for each of the following:

  • Leave a comment
  • Blog it (leave a comment telling me you did) linking back to this post
  • twitter it (leave a comment telling me you did) linking to this post
  • Follow me on twitter (@MaryeAudet) and leave a comment telling me you did

So that is 16 chances to win, since there are 4 cookbooks. Each cookbook will be sent out with a coupon so you can try your first recipe for almost free. Lets keep this open until 8 p.m. CST  Tuesday July 14, 2009. I will announce the winner by Wednesday July 15 at noon, CST. Sorry, since the postage is my dime this is only open to US residents. :(

]]> This is LONG, be sure to read all the way to the end!

The Sees Candy Giveaway is going to be this weekend.  Our family got hit by a major bout of stomach virus..hitting each of us one at a time.  Needless ot say I haven’t felt much like dealing with candy.

Anyway.  A rep for Pillsbury contacted me and wants to sponsor a giveaway of two Pillsbury classic brownie mixes.  There will be two winners chosen.

Now here is the cool thing.  From now until Decembe 31 Pillsbury is sponsoring a Make America Sweeter contest. Here is the information I recieved:

  1. Submit an essay on how you make America sweeter with Pillsbury baking products (Cake, Brownies, Quick Bread, Frostings, or Flours) – like bringing treats to seniors or hosting a bake sale at your house of worship
  2. Include a photo or short video illustrating your sweet gesture
  3. Entries can be submitted online at www.pillsburybaking.com/campaign or by mail to Pillsbury Make America Sweeter Contest, P.O. Box 8501, Prospect Hts., IL 60070.

That is so cool! Oh..the prize??  What is the prize you ask? Check this out!

The winner will receive a $5,000 kitchen makeover and runners-up will receive products from KitchenAid® and Pillsbury.  Plus, a $5,000 donation will be made to Feeding AmericaTM to help end hunger in the country.

How cool is that?

But that’s not all! Anyone who enters the contest and publishes the image they entered to Baking Delights FLickr group with the photo labeled Pillsbury contest will ALSO be entered in a drawing to win a 25.00 Gift Certificate to their choice of Amazon.com or Cooks.com.

How is that? Like it?

Here’s what you do.

For the brownie mix: (each separate thing is one entry, leave it in a separate comment)

  • Leave a comment between now and Saturday at 11:59 p.m.
  • Blog the contest linking to this page
  • Check out the recipes at Pillsbury and leave a comment telling me the one you think you would like to try.

For the $25 gift cetificate:

  • Post the image that you entered to Pillsbury’s contest on Baking Delights FLickr group
  • Leave a comment here telling me that you did by January 5, 2009

OR,

  • post a image of what you made with the Pillsbury Brownie Mix
  • Leave a comment here that you posted it by January 5, 2009

So…get ready…get set….GO!

]]> sees candy

Yesterday I saw an odd email.  I didn’t recognize it but it didn’t look like spam either, you know?

Does that make you break out in a sweat?  It does me. Open it? Don’t open it? What if it is some sort of virus.

I will have to admit that curiousity got the better of me as it often does and I opened it.  I had to read it twice.

Chris Bui with Sees Candies had emailed me with a simple request.  Could I create an ice cream using Sees Candy?

Ha!  COULD I !?!

I was addicted to Sees when Marc and I lived in Monterey .  There was a mall not too far from the Presidio where Sees could be had seven days a week.

Oh the bliss!

So…being the coy, aloof type that you all know I am I IMMEDIATELY wrote back and said…How about XYZ? (I am keeping THAT a secret for now).

And then I added…Would you like to sponsor a giveaway to go along with it?  My readers are the coolest.

So, dear readers, yet another giveaway is in the works…Stay tuned for more details. :)   And as soon as I have the ice cream made..the recipe will be right here.

Unless it is awful.  Then I will just post it under an assumed name somewhere.

It is time to announce the winner of the first Hershey’s Gift Basket.  May I have the envelope please?

This is so exciting….

Amber, of Amber’s Kitchen. :::music plays in the background.::::Crowds cheer::::

Amber…Come on DOWN!  You have won this amazing, super-collosal chocolate extravaganza created especially for you by Hershey’s Chocolate!

:::Amber runs excitedly down the center aisle…tears of joy running down her face…:::

Amber, I need you to email me at maryeaudetATgmailDOTcom with your address and all.

Seriously..I grew up not too far from Philadelphia and Hershey was one of my favorite places to go when I was a child.  You could smell the chocolate in the air…Amazing.

Well, a couple of years ago my daughter and son in law moved to Lebanon Pa. which is not too far away..and when I visited guess where they took me?

It was still the same magic and excitement it always was!  This time I was sharing it with my grandkids.. :)

Did you know that Milton S. Hershey was a philanthropist, giving away millions of dollars to establish a local orphanage and school?

Did you know that Hershey was one of the first “planned communities”?  Where other factories might have established tenement like housing for their employees, Hershey created not only homes but an amusement park, theater, library and other non-essential programs to enrich his employees lives?  The amusement park is still there, and world famous, but if you go, remember that it was created for no other reason than to build morale and enrich the lives of Hershey employees and their  families in the early 1900s.

Pretty cool?

Now, there are three more gift baskets to give away. The rules will remain the same.  Every monday I will post the gift post for that week..and every friday I will draw the winner and announce it by Saturday morning.  So be sure to check back on Monday for THREE new chances to win!!
