Love With Food's 3 Month Anniversary Giveaway

Wow, can you believe it's been three months since I started the Love With Food blog?  Time really flies when you're having fun.  To celebrate the three month anniversary of my blog, I thought it would be fitting to have a GIVEAWAY for three great prizes to three lucky winners!

I have not advertised this giveaway to the general public--I wanted it to be a special event just for my current LWF community members.  Sweet, huh?  It's just one of the benefits of being part of the Love With Food community and a way for me to show my gratitude for your support. :>)  Read on to see the prizes and how to enter.

PRIZE #1 - Limited Edition Fusion Gourmet Salt Sampler from Saltworks.com

My friends at Saltworks.com, providers of premium-grade specialty salts, have generously donated one of their popular gourmet salt samplers for the anniversary giveaway. In addition to offering gourmet sea salts, they also offer a huge assortment of specialty retail and bulk bath and spa salts. I have tried all of the salts in this collection and can tell you that they are amazing!!!  The quality is superb and they are extremely versatile as they compliment so many dishes.  The sampler sets also make great gifts so the next time you need gourmet or spa sea salts, please visit Saltworks.com.

The Limited Edition Fusion Gourmet salt sampler contains:

Wild Porcini - A strong mushroom scent greets you when you open a container of Wild Porcini Salt. Dried porcini mushrooms mixed with sea salt has a concentrated mushroom aroma that is excellent in risotto, soups, sauces and on salmon. (.6 ounces/18 grams)

Black Truffle - Truffles are a genuine treasure imported from Italy. Black Truffle Salt utilizes the unique power of sea salt to intensify the aroma and flavors of this exquisite mushroom. Ideal with egg dishes, pasta, mashed potatoes, red meat…even on buttered popcorn. (.8 ounces/24 grams)

Spanish Rosemary - salt delivers a "straight from the herb garden" flavor. A natural pairing with roasted potatoes, it will make this simple dish extraordinary. Add to any dish to give it a fresh, herbed taste. (.7 ounces/22 grams)

Vintage Merlot - is the salt that started the entire Fusion product line. The question became, "How do you capture the deep, rich flavor or merlot within a sea salt crystal?" The answer took 18 months, but here it is. There is just one word for it…amazing. (.8 ounces/24 grams)

Espresso Brava - Properly brewed espresso has three major parts: the heart, the body and the crema. Espresso salt is a popular addition to chocolates and desserts. For an entree, try using this salt in steak rubs and marinades. (.5 ounces/15 grams)

The set also contains three glass bowls and three stainless steel salt spoons

Prize #2 - A Hamilton Beach 5-Quart Portable Slow Cooker

The Hamilton Beach 5-Quart Portable Slow Cooker is a great machine for busy people. The size is perfect for a 4-5 pound chicken or two 2 pound roasts.  It has a latch lid strap and gasket lid that helps to reduce messy spills and the stoneware crock and glass lid are dishwasher safe.  Simply let it do the cooking for you and come home to a great meal or use it as a perfect, handy little helper to keep you out of the kitchen on those hot summer days!
