Get Grillin’ Giveaway

June 21, 2010

Hi everyone!!

Sorry for the long departure from blogging. Since I’ve been so busy working I used the time to have Mark transfer my site to another host, or something like that. Either way, it’s up and running now – hopefully for good!

I can not wait to catch up on all your posts so I’ll keep this kind of short :)

Since I worked 60ish hours last week, I haven’t been eating the greatest. Not bad, just not good! I’m still finishing up my 2 weeks at the Yale Club while I’m working my new job full time so its been crazy. When I get home, I don’t even feel like turning on my computer. Seriously, there’s dust on there! Never thought that would happen.

After this week I’ll be back to one job and hope to start working out again. It figures I keep a bikini body all spring and then slack off for summer! June 28 it’s 0n. I’ve set a date between me and the pavement! I really miss running.

Throughout the busy week, I somehow still managed to find time to rummage through Target’s food clearance section, which has been providing quick breakfasts and snacks.

I also was served a few quality meals. Thanks Dad!

And even one by my Mom – I love parents!

Last but not least, I’ve been making sure to get my fair share of desserts at work.

This weekend I also got a surprise in the mail..

A “Get Grilling Kit” from Lawry’s through MyBlogSpark! They have two new marinades, and both of them sound amazing.

They also both contain no HFCS, which is awesome because so many marinades/dressings contain it! I really can’t wait to try them once I get a day off. Let’s just say you’ll be seeing Sweet and Sour BBQ Tofu on here in the near future :)

And guess what? Lawry’s (through MyBlogSpark) is also giving me the opportunity to give one of these grilling kits away! Ways to enter:

  1. Leave a comment telling me your favorite way to use marinades.
  2. Link back to this post.
  3. Add me to your blogroll.

Open to American residents only and it ends on Friday so that you’ll receive it for the 4th!

I can’t believe it’s Wednesday already and I haven’t even mentioned that it’s Earth week! I’ve been flashing my “B the E” symbol around at work to show my commitment to the planet but my coworkers told me it looked more like a gang sign. Don’t worry, others are doing it too. I didn’t make it up!

Endless Possibilities Giveaway

February 8, 2010

Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a great superbowl weekend :) Surprisingly, I actually watched the game (the first and last game of the season I’ll watch). Not too exciting since I was in Pittsburgh when they won the Heisman last year. I doubt Saints fans could ever beat out the die hard Steelers fans in terms of celebrations!

I started out this pizza & beer kinda weekend with pizza night on Friday. I actually have an exciting new pizza combo to show you! I didn’t want to bore you with my white ricotta pie again. This pizza took effort.

The toppings:

  • sliced onion
  • spinach
  • mozzarella
  • tomato sauce
  • mushrooms
  • olive oil
  • ricotta
  • parmesan

It was my best pie yet. And I finally figured out that you have to cook the spinach before putting in on the pie. I don’t know what I was  thinking before!

If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you know I have pizza night with my Dad every Friday. We call our imaginary pizza place Skinny Frank’s since my Dad is so skinny and we make healthy whole wheat pizza. Before Christmas I ordered him a beer mug from Pottery Barn with Skinny Frank’s engraved on the front. It then went on backorder and just arrived this weekend.

It turned out to be HUGE.

He said he’ll save it for the bar in his new house. They’re planning on moving once I finally get a job and don’t have to live with them. He’s planning on building a nice bar and has been saving things for it for years now. He has everything from the bar stools to the Yankee Stadium picture to hang on the wall.

GIVEAWAY

Recently, the lovely Jason at Allbarstools.com contacted me about doing a giveaway. I love planning out my future home so all you have to do to enter is visit the site and tell me (in the comments section) what you would love to have someday in the future. Personally, I’m not a beer drinker but I’m loving the wine racks. I would choose this one if I have a big house:

And this one if I have a small one:

For extra entries link back to this giveaway on your blog or add me to your blog roll and then leave another comment letting me know you did.

So why haven’t I mentioned what you can win? I’m leaving it up to you! You have $35 to spend at any 3 of these sites:

  1. Allbarstools.com
  2. Cookware.com
  3. Bakeware.com

I know I wish I could get a donut pan to try my hand at Angela’s healthy donuts.

Or a hand blender to mix my soups without having to pour it in my food processor.

The possibilities are endless! Contest ends Tuesday, February 16 at 12 noon. It’s open to all U.S. and Canadian residents. Good luck!
