Thanks for entering! Keep checking back. There's sure to be another giveaway popping up soon.

Have a great Monday!

{Celebrate} Ice Cream Month!

Did you know that July is National Ice Cream Month? More specifically, this coming Sunday, July 18th is National Ice Cream Day! Woo Hoo!!

What will you do to celebrate?

Yesterday I went to HomeGoods and found some really special items. I'll share those with you next week. While I was there though, I spotted this beauty.

What a book!

Check out this Italian Pistachio Gelato

and this bowl of Crushed Cherry Ice Cream.

Cherry Vanilla happens to be one of my favorites. What's yours?

This book is filled with so many wonderful ice cream photos with great recipes. I just love looking at this book!

But, in honor of National Ice Cream Day fast approaching, I'm willing to give it up...to one of you out there!!

Yes - I am having a GIVEAWAY!!

To enter, leave a comment and tell me:

What is your favorite brand and flavor of ice cream?

My current favorites are Baskin Robbins Cherries Jubilee and Chocolate Chip. VANILLA Chocolate Chip - none of that mint stuff. Eeek!! I also like hard ice cream - don't go for the soft serve version. Blah! Unless there's cherry dip on top but then I mostly just eat all the cherry dip off so I guess that doesn't really count.

OK - can't wait to hear what you like! You can vote up until Midnight on Sunday July 18th and then a winner will be randomly chosen and announced on Monday. The winner will receive this book!

Have a great weekend!

Thanksgiving Giveaway

I've been so busy lately that it wasn't until I actually took a break, plopped myself down on the couch, put on Foodnetwork and saw every show was about Thanksgiving, that I realized Thanksgiving was next week already!! How did that happen?

I LOVE Thanksgiving!! Thanksgiving and Halloween are my 2 favorite holidays. Mmmm - I can't wait to have my mom's turkey!! She makes THE BEST turkey ever!! So simple but so yummy! Stuffing too. What could be better than stuffing with gravy poured all over it?!? Only 9 more days until I'm in stuffing heaven!!

I'm doing Thanksgiving at my house. I always do. I like it that way. Can eat our own food, cook exactly what we like, and we don't have to travel. I like having lots and lots of people but this year everyone is spread out so I think it's going to be a small one. You know what that means...more STUFFING for ME!! YAY!!

To show how giving I am and to celebrate Thanksgiving, I'm having a little giveaway.

I'm giving away 1 dozen Thanksgiving themed personalized chocolate bars.

They can be used as place settings, hostess gifts, going around to your clients and wishing them a Happy Thanksgiving, or of course, just hoarding them all for yourself. That wouldn't be very "giving" though, would it?!?

The wrappers can be personalized on the front

and the back

so there's plenty of room to say your thanks.

Here's what you do to enter:

At the bottom of this post there is a link called "Comments". Click on the link and it will bring you to the Comments section.

Tell me:

What are you doing this Thanksgiving?

Are you cooking, going to a family member, going to a restaurant - whatever it is, I want to know.

Now, here are the rules:

One entry per person

Entries will be accepted through noon tomorrow - Wednesday 11/18.

Winner will be selected at random and announced around 8pm also tomorrow - Wednesday 11/18.

Make sure there's a way for me to contact you - an e-mail address or something in the comment.
(Chocolate bars are classic Hershey's© Milk Chocolate bars)

Can't wait to hear what you guys are up to!!

Good luck!
