Show Your Helping Hand™ Hamburger Helper Giveaway

So I promised that I had more giveaways so here we go. Let's start off the new year helping others!

To raise awareness about the national issue of hunger, Hamburger Helper® is partnering with GRAMMY® Award-winning singer, songwriter and actor Tim McGraw to help Feeding America deliver millions of meals to local food banks through the Show Your Helping Hand™ campaign. McGraw will lend his voice to the campaign through a Public Service Announcement which will be distributed nationwide. Click here to view the PSA.

We can all show our support by submitting codes from specially marked boxes of Hamburger Helper at http://www.showyourhelpinghand.com/or by logging on to make a donation. Hamburger Helper has already donated more than half a million dollars and will contribute up to an additional $100,000 to Feeding America through this program. Don’t think one code will make a difference? The 17 cents Hamburger Helper donates per code is enough for Feeding America to deliver one meal to a local food bank.

The most fun part of helping others is that you have the opportunity to win a prize pack from Hamburger Helper through MyBlogSpark! I recieved a pack with a box of Hamberger helper, a cool foam hand that Jack has been calling his turkey, and Tim McGraw's CD!!! And by me chossing to participate they donated $10 on my behalf to this wonderful cause.
So besides the fact that Hamburger Helper is super quick and easy to make, and delicious I might add, you get to help others in need!

I must say... I am not a very good blogger these days!! I have been working feverishly to complete a project and have not given myself anytime for blogging! The winner of the Panko Bread Crumb Giveaway is... Ashley who said she would use the bread crumbs to prepare some kind of tilapia! Well Ashley, Now is your chance! I have emailed you so get back to me ASAP!

Progresso Lemon Pepper Panko Giveaway

Well, the title says it all! Yummy!! The Progresso Lemon Pepper Panko bread crumbs are delicious! They are much flakier and more crunchy then traditional bread crumbs. Everyone is trying them these days! I even saw several hosts on Food Network calling for them in recipes. I just tried the recipe on the back of the box, only I used chicken not fish, and truthfully I don't know what was better the moist chicken or the crunchy coating! They are seasoned perfectly with just the right amount of lemon flavor.
MyBlogSpark sent me a box for free along with Chef Michael Chiarello's new cookbook, Bottega. The cookbook features "Bold Italian Flavors from the Heart of California's Wine Country." It is a positively beautiful book and even if you aren't a chef it would look fabulous on your coffee table or you could even give it as a gift! Most fun part... It is autographed!
So you want to win, right? General Mills and MyBlogSpark have once again generously offered to send one of my loyal readers a gift pack of their very own!
All you have to do to win is leave a comment telling me, what type of dish would you create with Progresso Lemon Pepper Panko?

Wanchai Ferry® & Macaroni Grill® Dry Dinner Kit Review and Giveaway

I recently received the most delicious dry dinner kits that I have ever had! First we tried the Macaroni Grill Creamy Basil Parmesan Chicken & Pasta. I was a bit sceptical but decided that I would give have an open mind. I am so glad that I did. It was delicious! The directions were super easy to follow and everything but the chicken is included in the box. My oldest son and I had to fight for the last serving for lunch the next day! The flavors were a perfect combination and the final product truly tasted like it came from a restaurant.



Next was the Wanchai Ferry Orange Chicken. I was once again a little weary but figured I really didn't have anything to lose! Again a very pleasant meal. There were no leftovers which, in my house means that everyone loved it! I am a huge fan of oriental style food. I am also very picky as to the flavors I choose, and I can say with certainty that this kit will be on my grocery list frequently. The quality of the ingredients was very high and the cost is very affordable.
