New Panko, New Cookbook – Progresso & Chef Chiarello Giveaway

Lemon Pepper Panko

Born of an Italian mother, cooking was a huge part of growing up. The fall season marked the start of home made pasta, soups, and the greatly anticipated holiday feasts. The aroma of fresh bread on a cold Saturday morning or the visions of fresh pasta strung across wooden spoons are tender childhood memories. Mom inspired a passion and zeal for home cooked meals. My Blog Spark sent this offer, “If you’d like to participate in this Spark, we will provide you with a gift pack including one package of Progresso Lemon Pepper Panko and an autographed copy of chef Chiarello’s new cookbook: Michael Chiarello’s Bottega.

Want to be a $100,000 blogger?

Want to be a $100,000 blogger?

Want to be a $100,000 blogger? That is a silly question. While everyone who blogs may not expect to make a hundred thousand, who would say no to that question, I’m just sayin’. Given the opportunity to download and review the FREE eBook “Six Figure Affiliate Blogging” sparked a quantity of real interest for me.  The author Zac Johnson had 15 years invested in working internet marketing. Mr. Johnson claims after just three years of blogging, his site became another six figure a year project. Taken directly from the intro, “This “How to be the Next Six Figure Affiliate Blogger” guide isn’t about creating a blog on affiliate marketing, or getting lost in the “make money online” get rich schemes. Instead, it’s about finding a blogging niche and using affiliate marketing to generate revenue from that blog.” Recommend on Facebook Share on FriendFeed Buzz it up Share on Linkedin share via Reddit Share with Stumblers Share on technorati Tweet...

“Do What You Love” Cheerios Giveaway

“Do What You Love” Cheerios Giveaway

Do you remember this commercial? For all you youngsters Peter Brady is the middle son from the 1970s hit show The Brady Bunch. The promo jingle back in the day was that “Go Go power” of Cheerios.

It’s amazing how far we have come with food and ads yet the old standards remain. According to the Cheerios website “Three grams of soluble fiber daily from whole grain oat foods, like Cheerios® cereal, in a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease. Cheerios cereal provides 1 gram per serving.” As a fan of Cheerios® for many years now, I am elated to announce two fabulous “Do What You Love” contest giveaways! The first contest is huge and oh so exciting! Cheerios is collaborating with country music superstar...
