Hi.

Welcome! I'm a new Pittsburgher and mom who is untrained in both life and cooking, but that just makes them both more exciting!

A Very Eggy Giveaway

Winner winner chicken dinner!  Random.org chose #15, Alida's Kitchen, who said, "I love scrambled eggs with cheese and salsa."  Can't disagree with that answer.  Congrats!  

What's that?  You didn't win one of the hundreds of KitchenAid mixers that were being given away on various food blogs last month?  Yea, me either.  I dutifully filled out my name and email address more times than I can count and I didn't win any aprons or specialty cheeses or cookbooks.  Nothin.  Nada.  What a downer!

But fear not!  I have a giveaway today that is JUST as huge and exciting as a stand mixer.  (To me at least!)  My favorite gadget company, Oxo, sent me this amazing egg beater and they sent an extra one for you!  It's perfect because it is small and really easy to get out and use quickly.  It's in between a whisk, which can be laborious, and an electric mixer which you have to go through the hassle of plugging in and setting up.  Who wants to do that for some eggs or to whip some cream?  Plus, it's dishwasher safe!  Win!  You'll totally forget about your lost stand mixer once you have one of these babies in your hand.

Here's some product features (courtesy of Amazon):

  • Smoothly rotating gears are enclosed for protection and easy clean-up
  • Soft, comfortable, non-slip grips on turning knob and contoured handle
  • Sturdy stainless steel Beaters can be removed for cleaning or for tasting
  • Beaters are elevated and continue to work while device rests on bottom of bowl
  • Base detaches from top and is dishwasher safe

AND, because I love you (and because Land O Lakes loves you, too) I'm throwing in a coupon for a free package of eggs to beat and scramble.  Note to those who have a membership to BJ's (I'm looking at you, in-laws!): you can use this coupon there to get 18 eggs for free instead of 12 .  Gotta love a deal.

Just leave a comment on this post telling me if you eat scrambled eggs your scrambled eggs plain or with ketchup.  Or hot sauce.  Or whatever weird things you have in your pantry.

Disclosure: This giveaway is sponsored by Oxo and Land O Lakes, as a part of the Foodbuzz Tastemakers Program, but my opinions are my own.  There will be one winner randomly chosen on 1/15/2012 (happy birthday, Dan!) who will be notified by email.  Winner must live in the U.S., but if you don't live in the U.S. I would still love to hear your preference!  No purchase necessary.
