Wüsthof & Microplane Giveaway!

11.04.14
Pin It PIN IT!

Today’s post is going to be short, sweet and to the point. I’ve got a few tarts to make (tee hee hee), some travel stories to write, a million photos to edit and a workout to somehow squeeze in. It’s a day where I’d much rather trade places with Oscar, who seems to be living the dream at the moment.

So instead of a recipe, I thought I’d share something we all love during the holiday season, GIFTS!! Giving is my favorite part of the season. I love picking out things I know the people in my life will love and seeing their eyes and smiles widen as they unwrap it. There’s really no better feeling in the entire world.

Because I can’t give every single one of you a gift (I haven’t won the lottery, yet) I’m giving you guys something just as a nice, a chance to win an AMAZING knife and a set of my favorite graters in the entire world.

    I would probably make some sort of holiday dish with my new knife! An avocado, pear, and pine nut salad perhaps?

    There are a ton of peppers that need to be harvested before it frosts, so I'm thinking a batch of pickled peppers is in my future!

    I don't know what I'd make first with the knife. I'd probably just pull out all the things and start slicing away, because I have never owned a good knife that would slice without having to saw.

    I am crushed that you made Facebook a requirement. Millions have left it due to the users like ISIS terrorists who are tracking the family members of our military on it, human traffickers, prostitutes and child porn scumbags, and the Chinese hackers are quite busy stealing information about all of the members there. Don't you watch the news? Using FB supports all those things!

    The first thing I'd make with the knife is Tuscan Vegetable soup. Not only is it my favorite soup to make, it requires lots of slicing and dicing.
