A Magnificently Fabulous Perfect Kitchen Giveaway

Pin It PIN IT!

Note: This content is open to all US citizens and Canadian citizens. Unfortunately I can not ship internationally at this time.

With a title like that, how the heck can you turn away? I’ve been teasing you about this giveaway for about a week (and luring you to like me, how devious am I?) and now that I’ve well surpassed 500 likes on Facebook, I BRING YOU the best giveaway in all the land!

BERRIES? BERRIES AND WHAT ELSE? (via]

No little lad who loves berries and cream, I’m not giving away berries. I have something better. I have some awesomely trendy retro kitchen accessories to knock your socks off. Now, coming up with the goodies for this giveaway was easy. All I did was go to Anthropologie(to add more things I can’t afford to my ever enlarging virtual shopping bag) and click on the little ” house & home” section. I was immediately faced with the most amazingly retro, unique and fabulous home accessories ever. Since I just live and breathe blogging and was in a euphoric state thanks to my new likers, I immediately thought “these would be great for a giveaway!” So there you are folks, my life story in how I chose the items. Since I know your just DYING to know.

Well, the real reason you are here is because you want to win stuff. I don’t blame you. So I’ll show you what you can win and tell you how you can win them!

If you are the lucky person chosen, you will win YOUR choice of…

 This “tea and crumpets” teal apron

OR (for my male viewers or ladies who don’t want an apron)

the Laguiole multi colored cheese knives set!

Plus, because I seriously love y’all and want to thank you, AGAIN, for following, reading, commenting and liking, you’ll also recieve…

Old fashioned milk jug measuring cups!

So how will the lucky reader be chosen? Easy. I’m going to host a guantlet, MTV style, and the person who survives wins the stuff. Duh.

I kid, I kid. I’m pretty sure I could get sued for that. Instead, I’m going to have you help me gather some cool new recipe ideas. It’s a win-win! Here’s the official, fancy real rules:

1. LEAVE A COMMENT (mandatory) with a dish you’d like to see me lighten up. Or just a cool recipe idea you want me to make and test on my husband. PLEASE LEAVE EITHER A LINK TO YOUR WEBPAGE OR YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS SO I CAN CONTACT YOU IF YOU WIN! (P.S. No husbands are harmed in the production of my recipes.)

2. Share this giveaway on Facebook! Just make sure you LINK TO MY PAGE (The Realistic Nutritionist). If you don’t already like me, you will have to in order to tag me!

3. Tweet this! “I just entered to win fabulous retro goodies from @anthropologie on @realnutritioncg ‘s blog giveaway! http://bit.ly/o1VpN2 Enter to win!”

4. Follow me on Twitter @realnutritioncg!

See, it’s easy as pie. Giveaway ends September 16th at midnight.

Disclaimer: Anthropologie did not sponsor this giveaway. It’s coming from my own wallet!

    Lighten up, as in make different and snazzy? If so, I love to see salads lightened up with new toppings and dressings. Or, do you mean lighten up, as in make healthier (I'm assuming the latter haha).  If so, I would like to see...hmm...chicken fried steak lightened up! I saw The Pioneer Woman on Food Network Saturday and she made it and it is definitely fattening!

The bad news is that both are fried dishes so careful those watching saturated fats. But let me tell u even a dietitian would love try either.

    what a great time to find your blog! I love it already. Can't wait to try your lemon yogurt bread.. I appreciate any lightened up quick bread or muffin recipes!
