I’ve never really entered contests, but I stumbled across Good Things to Eat in June, and I thought why not enter? I love sharing recipes anyway, so it really was fun for me. I entered the recipes I’ve shared here on the blog…..so imagine my surprise when I checked my emails on July 1st and discovered that I had won their June contest!!

My packages arrived yesterday….and what a treat! Cookware, mixing bowls, stockpots, bamboo utensils, reusable produce bags, and 5 huge cookbooks, two of which that had been on my cookbook wish list for a long time! I think Kevin and Travis had as much fun as I did opening up the boxes to see what was inside.

The cookware, stockpots, and utensils are all from Natural Home, a company I frankly had never heard of before, but I will definitely be trying everything out and letting you know in future blog postings how it all works. The pots are stainless steel, and the mixing bowls and utensils are all from bamboo/pressed bamboo. I love it that everything is “green”….and the fact the pots and pans stack to take up less space is fantastic!

I apologize for the blurred quality of these pictures…..I guess I was a bit excited at the thought of all these goodies! I’ll definitely also be making recipes from each of these books…..I had fun starting to read through them last night, and I can see lots of new things coming from my kitchen very, very soon!
