giveaway time!

Filed under: Reviews — Kristen :) @ 8:06 am

I’m excited to announce another giveaway on eatingRD!  I was contacted by CSN stores and asked if I would like to review a product or do a giveaway.  I wanted to spread the love with a little giveaway and took it a step further by also letting you choose!  Yay!

*this giveaway is now closed, but check back for more!*

Perusing their ginormous site, which features thousands of cooking gadgets from over 200 stores, and even some pretty neat barstools, I was in sheer delight trying to make my decision.  It was tough, but I decided on 5 items that I think you guys will enjoy!  They even have several VitaMix babies, but that was a little high on the budget 🙂  

Let me know which one you like best in the poll below by Thursday, March 11th at 8pm PST, and the winner, which will be announced next Friday, March 12th will get to choose!

Here are your choices:

  • Hamilton Beach Immersion Blender — These are great for blending up soups right in the pot and I also use mine for quick smoothies.  This one comes with a whisk attachment which would be great for frothing up egg whites or mixing pancake batter.

  • Stainless Steel Julienne Peeler — I don’t have one of these myself, but would love to!  It would be great for adding colorful veggies to salads or making veggie ‘pasta’.

  • CucinaPro Pasta Machine — You guys know how I love fresh, homemade pasta!  This would make it easy for you to make at home.  While it takes a bit longer than opening up a bag of dried pasta, it is well worth it.  This machine can make fettuccine and spaghetti.  Other attachments are available as well.

  • Back to Basics Blender Express Plus — I myself have a Smoothie Elite to make big batches of smoothies, but this would be perfect for individual vitamin-packed smoothies on the go or even dressings and sauces!

Well there you have it!  Those are some great choices and I don’t know if I could really choose 🙂  And that’s not even the tip of the iceberg available from CSN stores, where they have quite a bit of sales too.

So what will it be???

[polldaddy poll=2789862]

Here’s how you can enter:

  • Vote in the poll and leave a comment telling me you did.
  • Visit allbarstools.com and tell me what dream stool you would like to have if you could in a separate comment.
  • Tweet the giveaway ‘@eatingRD is giving away a cooking gadget & you get to choose! http://twurl.nl/eh5q0z’ and leave a separate comment.
  • Link back to this giveaway on your blog and leave a separate comment.
  • For a better chance, head over to my LiveStrong donation page, and each $5 donation increment will get an additional 3 entries.  Each donation also receives a little ‘thank you’ 🙂

Good luck! Check back next Friday for the winner!

Coming up will be a post on maca’s limited research, as well as safety information.  Have a great day!
