Did You See This?
Summer Kick Off Giveaway – May 20, 2013
We are in the home stretch! We are driving with the windows down

Here in Lancaster, we’re settling in for the long, cold months. If we were bears, we’d be hibernating.
Since we aren’t bears, we’ll need to keep cooking and eating, and there’s nothing that warms the heart and the tummy like a slow cooker full of delicious food at the end of a long, cold day.
That’s why we’re offering you, our dear online friends, a January Pick-Me-Up giveaway. Start your new year off on the right foot with a copy of our Fix-It and Forget-It Lightly hardcover cookbook, autographed by Phyllis. Choose your favorite healthy recipes to make in your new 5-quart Smart Pot from Jarden. This sleek, black slow cooker has four time settings to make your food preparation a breeze. It conveniently switches to a warm setting when cooking is completed. Enjoy tasty, healthy meals for your family with these two tools for your kitchen!
(Jarden doesn’t know that we’re giving away this slow cooker.)
