My very first....Blog GIVEAWAY!!!!

I'm so excited! I've been reading TONS of blogs lately and some of them have been having cool giveaways. I was thinking about how much I love contests, freebies, samples and giveaways so I looked into a few to see how maybe I could do that on here too.

Well I found a website that is associated with a lot of great products that we use already and signed up. I received my first email last week that I could do this giveaway on my blog so here it is:


Bentos, Bargains and Kids - Progresso Broth Gift Set Giveaway

3 (yes THREE!) of my lucky blog readers will win:

  • Free coupon for Progresso Broth
  • a recipe card holder
  • recipe box
  • wicker basket
  • set of serving spoons
  • spoon rest

Isn't that cool? I've used Progresso Broth for a long time now. It is great to use when making mashed potatoes or yummy noodles! But Progresso is making it even easier to make your favorite holiday recipes with the introduction of all-natural Progresso Chicken, Reduced Sodium Chicken and Beef-flavored broths.

Progresso’s broths are 99% fat free and contain no preservatives, artificial flavors, or MSG*! They even come in convenient, re-sealable 32oz cartons.

I love that the carton is re-sealable as I don't always want to make a big batch of whatever I am cooking.

So....how might I win this awesome giveaway you might be asking?

Well it it soooo simple. All you have to do is leave me a comment telling me about a favorite holiday dish? What do you like to eat at family gatherings? Even better if you want to leave me the recipe!

That is it...see. Now leave me a comment.

This giveaway will end Sunday November 30 at 9pm

I will put all the names in a basket and P can draw them out.

Oh and in case you need a coupon to finish up your Thanksgiving grocery shopping here is a printable coupon for the Progresso Broth. mmmm yum!

Hi Emily! You know your way around the internet way too well. I am always amazed by you!

Here is my latest favorite appetizer: Baked Brie You spread any flavor jam on the top of the brie, wrap the brie in crescent rolls and bake according to crescent roll pkg. Just watch closely because the time may be different! Serve with crackers! Yum! No progresso though sorry!

Hey Em... I am only a "domestic engineer" (Stay-at-home-mom)in the summer, and I cook quick meals and use the crock pot a lot during the school year.
For the holidays, and birthdays, my girls really like it when I make fairy wands.
All you do is candi-quick pretzel rods, with white or chocolate almond bark and then use festive sprinkles to decorate. Many of the adults are anticipating me making them because they are a great blend of sweet and salty.
Sorry it is not something more elaborate and it doesn't use Progresso, but it's a hit with the kids!

My favorite holiday dish would have to be noodles. I always looked forward to Aunt Martha's noodles years ago, and now Granny's and Mom's. I'm making them for Thanksgiving Day this year. I just may try Progresso Broth!

Well, one of my family's favorites is pecan tea cookies. Everytime I make them I get asked for the recipe - which is a family secret! Sorry!

Another favorite of our is one we had last night - Tomato Bacon Chicken. It's real simple. Fry up about 6-10 slices of bacon (depending on how much you like bacon). Drain it and set it aside. Slice up anonion and fry slices in the bacon grease until they turn translucent and set aside. Fry chicken for about 5 minutes total - rotating once in between. Get a can of fire roasted tomatoes (works best with fire roasted - find with the organic tomato juice/sauces) and spread 3/4 of the jar on the bottom of an 8x8 pan. Wrap each piece of chicken in bacon and place on top of the tomatoes. Cut leftover bacon in small pieces and sprinkle the chicken with the bason crumbles, onion, and the rest of the tomatoes. Put in the oven at 450 for 30 minutes. Pretty yummy!
