A few days after Christmas, I wrote my first blog post on December 29, 2008 - exactly one year ago today. My initial plan was to blog about my journey to losing inches & becoming a buff bride on my wedding day, May 31, 2009. My wedding came and went but I just couldn't let my little blog go. I was finally getting subscribers and consistent comments! I couldn't believe people out there actually wanted to read about my .
While I've been reminiscing, I've also been planning a bit of a giveaway to thank all my dear readers (and lurkers!) for stopping by each day to read my rambles. I have two items to give, both are food-oriented of course.
.
First up, a Cuisinart electric fondue set.
Second, I'm also offering a pasta machine!
Which do you want more??!?!
- You can only pick one item.
- Leave a comment with your item of choice, the fondue set or the pasta maker, and tell me ONE RECIPE/MEAL you want to make with it. Will it be beer cheese dip for your Superbowl party?? Or how about some homemade noodles for your grandmother's famous chicken noodle soup??
- Link back to this post for an additional entry and leave a comment letting me know you did so. (I don't do that Twitter nonsense so tweet if you want but that won't get you anywhere.)
- Add me to your blogroll or become a follower and leave another comment for a third entry!
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!
Contest ends at midnight on Friday, January 8th.
