Gift Certificate Giveaway--$25 to shop at CSN Stores!

AND THE WINNER IS....Post #15  Hungry in Cleveland! Congrats!  
Also readers be on the lookout for  another giveaway just in time for Valentine's Day. I'm going to make your Valentine's Day dinner a little easier on you!!

Besides going out to eat, I love staying home and cooking too.   For Christmas my fiancee and her family chipped in a bought me a cooking class at the Viking School in Legacy Village.  They also got me a variety of cooking things to help supply my personal kitchen.   Generosity like this is what sparked my last personal giveaway and is what has lead to this opportunity to once again give back to my loyal readers.

This time, Dave from Live to Cook at Home recommended my blog to CSN, and said that I would be a good blog to do a giveaway with. (I had no idea he did this, and I am honored that he recommended me!)  I was then contacted by CSN Stores to do either a giveaway to my readers, or to do a personal review of something from their website.  I picked the giveaway of a $25 gift certificate because I want to continually give back to my readers!  If you have never heard of CSN Stores they are comprised of over 200 websites, including everything from luggage stores furniture, and of course cookware, bakeware, tableware, cooking tools and gadgets!   I really aspire to become a better home chef, which I hope will then in turn make my reviews even more detailed an accurate.   My hope for this giveaway is that I can also help you to build up your kitchen and help you to become a Master Chef!

Oddly enough, my favorite review was your recent one about Ballantine's. Simply because it will help me make better choices when I order there in the future!
