Roasting Pan Giveaway! Thanks Macy's!

No no. The turkey is not included in this giveaway. SORRY.

Don't get mad! Instead I'm giving away something that will last longer than the turkey! The fabulous folks over at Macy's have offered one lucky reader a stainless steel roaster from Martha Stewart's collection. It'll come in pretty handy for some hard-core turkey or prime rib cooking this holiday season.

What do you need to do to enter? There is only ONE entry possible per person, requiring a comment below.  (Macy's requests each reader only enter once.)

To enter to win a Roasting Pan, you MUST do the following. Leave a comment below telling me what you found particularly interesting or helpful on Mblog, Macy's blog filled with lots of interesting articles covering things from fashion to food. (Click the home button for interviews with chefs!). Make sure you leave some way for me to contact you, in case you are the winner.  Unfortunately this contest is only open to those living in the US for shipping reasons, but if you have an address you can send your prize to in the US, go ahead and enter.

Now, just for fun,  like Macy's Recipe Share Page and share a recipe!! (let me know on my facebook page and I'll also go and vote for you). (ahem....entering a WOM recipe really shouldn't count, but I don't need to tell you that, do I?) Enter a family recipe that you and your family love!  (one of the prizes is $1000 Macy's gift card, which isn't too shabby at all.)

A winner will be chosen at random on SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 20, at midnight PST.
(I am a former high school English Teacher, so I am bit of a stickler for rules. Entries which do not follow the instructions will be disqualified.)

I love how Macy's blog covers so much. Food, fashion, entertaining and lots more! It is the perfect go-to blog for the upcoming holiday season!

I think the culinary council in the 'Home' section is a very cute idea.

I didn't know we should replace cutting boards every 6 months, according to an article on their blog...

Kari said...

I need to frame the post about not salting your food before you taste it. My husband has a hard time with that one.

erin said...

Not sure I can see myself getting new cutting boards every six months but I think I will take them up on the tip to change out my sponge every six weeks!

just clicked through the Home section and I think its pretty cool that Macy's is partnering with some aweseome celebrity chefs like Michelle Bernstein and Marcus Samuelsson. And even better if they would come to the cooking demos at Herald Square store.

Interesting! A wine aerator filters the wine as you pour and you don't have to wait for it to aerate.

I liked the Food Republic section and its first article with its 10 Basic Rules to Eating and Drinking.

I like how the side bar has all the all the updates of deals. It's so easy to scroll through and find a deal that works for you :)

Jan said...

I enjoyed reading the "Look Who's Cooking" posts and I look forward to reading more of these posts in the future!

I find extremely helpful the way they link recommended items in an article for easy purchasing. They don't just reference a great eyeliner, they link the item so you can purchase on the spot. Helpful for an avid customer! In case I am the winner, you can reach me at ginasung@gmail. Thanks!

There are a lot of interesting articles - I especially like the Beauty section - like her tips on smokey eyes & shaping brows.

i love that they not only have their standard home and fashion sections, but a beauty section as well! It's a very well-rounded, cohesive blog.

Sonia said...

For someone who hates to search too long for what I want or read long laborious articles to find out the bottom line or helpful tip/advise--it's great! The fashion, home and beauty section makes it a one-stop cohesive website to browse~~like a women's magazine with easy links to go straight to the topics I want. Nice!

I am excited to browse through the recipes that the Macy's Culinary Council had put together in the Thanksgiving @ Holidays cookbook!

Todd said...

I liked reading the article "Food Republic’s 10 Basic Rules to Eating and Drinking". I had not ever heard that you should replace your cutting board every 6 months. When they made the comment about if your cutting board has a color on it that wasn't already there hit home. If I win, you can reach me at kstater89@yahoo.com. I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving.

unjung said...

Didn't know that Macy's has their own blog. Pretty cool. I especially like the recipes that are made available via Macy's Culinary Council. I kind of need a recipe to follow as I am not so good at just "throwing a few ingredients together on the fly..."

I loved the 10 basic rules to eating and drinking under the home section. I had NO idea you should replace a cutting board every 6 months!! It looks like I'm going to need to buy some new ones!

I liked the hostess gift ideas.

I love the fact that Macy's has put together a blog that covers food, drink, and lifestyle trends all in one place. And it's totally cool of them to sponsor such an awesome giveaway too! (dorotheaspears964@hotmail.com)

quyen said...

i liked the article on accessories - because i'm so bad at using them to accent an outfit.

Stef said...

all of my favorite blog topics in one! out of the 10 basic rules to eating and drinking..i had no idea about the 6 month cutting board rule. i've had mine for a few years! && i liked the post about dressing for winter. i live in 80degree year-around weather..but venture home for 40 degree winter weather..great tips!

Emma said...

I loved the interview with the chefs - especially Michelle Bernstein. As a woman in my 20's just beginning a career of my own, it's inspiring to hear about her time in school, working part time and getting up at 5 AM to bake every day, and how all that hard work led to such success!

Sandy said...

Man, they do a good job adequately covering so many areas in a fair amount of depths. I really liked the info. on the new designer they were adding to the many labels they carry.

Chantal said...

I really liked the suggestions under Accessories.

ehwang said...

I appreciate the visual appeal of the site - particularly the photos and the font used for "fashionista"!

Neat, I didn't know about the Macy's blog. I learned that I have am a traditionalist in my kitchen style.

I found the Home section to be very informative covering many varieties.

I never knew this blog existed, and find it nice that there is such a wide breadth of coverage. I liked the Food Republic articles, and the beauty-related articles as well!

katchimo said...

I didn't realize that cuttings boards had to be replaced every six months. We didn't replace ours for six years.

Hannah said...

My favorite thing about Macy's blog is the (no suprise) recipes!

i loved the interviews with chefs

spencer said...

i liked the article on chef styles and the different equipment

Carol said...

I never knew Macy's had a blog! I liked the article about last minute Thanksgiving prep. The table prep always gets left to the last minute for me. I'd better go in search of my biggest tablecloth right now...
