Father’s Day Giveaway – Hamilton Beach 6-qt. Stay or Go Slow Cooker and Potluck Heaven

Fix-it and Forget-it — Mon, 10 Jun 2013 16:14:33 +0000

This Sunday is Father’s Day, and we know there are a lot of dads out there that love the convenience of dining from a slow cooker as much as we do. In honor of all dads and father figures out there who enjoy cooking for their families, we are giving away a Hamilton Beach 6-qt. Stay or Go Slow Cooker as well as a copy of Fix-It and Forget-It Potluck Heaven.

Who says slow cookers can’t be manly? Throw some ribs in there to slowly cook to tender perfection, or keep a crock of smoked sausage and baked beans warm at the big game or on the tailgate.

The 6-quart Hamilton Beach Stay or Go has settings for High, Low, and Warm so you can make your favorite meal ahead of time and keep it warm until it’s time to eat. The slow cooker crock is also dishwasher safe. The lid has locking latches to keep the lid securely in place while traveling to your potluck. But perhaps one of our favorite features of this slow cooker is that there’s a place on the handle of the lid to store a spoon! Now it’s easy to remember your favorite serving spoon when you’re heading out the door.

(Hamilton Beach doesn’t know that we’re giving away this slow cooker.)

Soda Stream Giveaway!

Fix-it and Forget-it — Wed, 29 May 2013 19:27:20 +0000

Nothing says summer like an ice cold sparkling beverage! To help you quench your thirst for summer, we will be giving away a Soda Stream Beverage Carbonating System along with a bottle of Lemon-Lime Drink Syrup and Silicone Perfect Ice Cube Tray.

The Soda Stream is a non-electric device that takes ordinary water and pumps carbonation into it allowing you to make sparkling soda, lemonade, tea, energy drinks, and many others, healthfully, using one of their many varieties of concentrated syrups. Soda Stream does not use high fructose corn syrup in their drink syrups, allowing you to feel good about what you are drinking. You can even carbonate the water without using syrup. It is great with just a little twist of lemon or sprig of mint.
Besides the health benefits of using the Soda Stream, you are also keeping the planet healthy by not cluttering up landfills with empty soda cans or single-use, plastic bottles. The device comes with a refillable CO2 canister and two, refillable 1 liter bottles so you can easily tote along your sparkling drinks with you.

(Soda Stream does not know that we’re giving this away.)
