My motto for the 2009 year is ‘Attitude of Gratitude,’ in an effort to focus and be thankful for all the blessings I have in life rather than things I don’t have. One of those blessings includes the readers of my blog, who inspire, motivate and encourage me to continue with my culinary adventures. To give back to my readers, I created a weekly giveaway where I feature a food related item that a reader receives as a token of my appreciation for their readership.
Every Monday, be sure to check my blog to find out what freebies I’m featuring. I’ll be posing a question related to the freebie that readers can answer by leaving a comment throughout the week. On Friday, the winner will be randomly chosen by Random.Org’s Interger Generator based on the number of their comment. That lucky person who wrote the chosen comment will then be sent the foodie freebie… it’s that simple!
As for the type of foodie freebies I feature, these are items I personally like and/or use, many of which are products from Chicago based companies. Here’s a listing of previous freebies I’ve given away and the lucky readers who’ve received them.
I have in store so you can have a chance to win!
