Blogiversary giveaway!

Well, it's been about a year since I've started this blog, can you believe it? It has been so much fun to share photographs and recipes with fellow bloggers who are all so kind and talented. To celebrate this momentous occasion I am having my very first giveaway!!! Of course it had to be cooking/kitchen related because this is a food blog after all!


It is a BergHOFF stainless steel salt shaker and pepper mill set. Isn't it pretty? I loved it when I saw it and thought it was so modern and sleek. They are from allmodern.com. They have an awesome selection of everything from furniture, (even italian brands), to home bars (perfect for entertaining), to kitchen accessories.

One lucky winner will receive this stainless steel salt and pepper mill set (yes, both salt and pepper!) Just leave a comment and tell me what your favorite kitchen gadget is. It can be anything, a tool/pot/knife/teapot/doodad, whatever. Just tell me what ur fave is!

The deadline to enter is tomorrow, Friday by midnight. I will pick a winner randomly. Good luck!!

    When I was in LA we went in a cooking store and they had something called a garlic zoom. It was a plastic container with wheels and you put the peeled garlic in and roll it across a flat surface and it chops up the garlic for you. That way you don't get it on your hands and smell like it for days.

    I like a good ole fashion cutting board! I love veggies and I love cutting them up and then sliding them into a salad!
    Yum... makes me want to eat some veggies right now!

    OMG I need this like you would not believe! Aside from a trusty salt/pepper mill set (hint, hint), I am a sucker for a garlic press. I will actually omit garlic all together from a recipe if I have to cut it by hand!

    Not to be "that person" but I really like the Magic Bullet.
    ONE. TWO. THREE. Guacamole!
    ONE. TWO. THREE. Smoothie!

    (Recently, I saw the infomercial for the Ninja-- it's supposed to be a bigger and better Magic Bullet. I can't wait until it hits BB&B!)

    I'm not a huge gadget person, but its a tough call between my microplane and my $1 juicer tool from IKEA (not sure of the exact name). Both are soo handy!

    I really love my Santoku knife by Calphalon. It's the first "real" knife I've ever purchased. haha. Not sure how I've lived without it.

    Oh this is so fun! But how can I pick just one for my favorite?? I'd say that my Shun knife is my best gadget -- a good, sharp knife will change your life!

    Hey chica! Happy bloggiversary. Such an achievement!

    My favorite kitchen gadget. Hmmm. Has to be my garlic chopper. It relieves stress and gets my garlic minced all at the same time!

    My favorite gadget is my food processor. As a new bride i didn't think I would use a large one so when we registered I only got a little one. Now I wish I would have registered for the larger one...lol!

    the humble pastry cutter is my tool of choice. pair it up with a little elbow grease and you can have a delicious pie crust in no time flat. :)
