New Panko, New Cookbook – Progresso & Chef Chiarello Giveaway

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. We will also provide you with an additional gift pack to give away to one of your readers.” Given my history in addition to being a fan of Progresso, Panko breadcrumbs, and Italian food prompted a jubilant yes, yes, and oh my gosh AUTOGRAPHED too, oh YES! Progresso is one of my favorite brands....

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...

Thinkfood – Brain Healthy Foodie Cookbook

Being quite fond of cooking (and eating) you can imagine how excited I was when I learned of Thinkfood, a Food Blogger cookbook project collaborated with Posit Science. The Thinkfood cookbook features 50 delicious, original, brain-healthy recipes, each created by a different food blogger. In addition, what is even more exciting is anyone can sign up for the Recipe of the Week program. With this, you receive and preview a tasty new recipe from the cookbook, delivered to your inbox every week…. Imagine getting fifty brain healthy recipes free! Included is information about the foodie blogger who created the recipe, exclusive cooking tips, and the science behind the brain healthy foods and nutrients in the recipe. The first week ThinkFood shared with me this awesome Banana Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie by Tina Haupert and this week the recipe is a main course dish, Garlic Salmon over Spinach by Kristen, author of Dine & Dish. The ThinkFood area of Posit Science...

Hooked on Books Books open a window to the world, taking readers to other times and other places – introducing them to new thoughts and ideas. Yet reading does much more than expand the imagination, especially for children. Research shows that exposure to books in early childhood – even in infancy – is critical to future reading development. It’s a building block for early learning experiences, contributing to language development, better grades in school and enhanced productivity in adult life. In 2007, the National Center for Educational Statistics released its annual “Reading Report,” finding that a staggering 33 percent of all fourth-graders in this country still cannot read at even the basic level. Worse yet, deficient readers run higher risks of failure in personal, professional and social areas. Even those who do read at grade level face additional challenges. For instance, as children age, research shows that time spent reading decreases. Eighth grade seems to be the tipping point...
