MyBlogSpark + Green Giant Giveaway!

by spiceaholic on March 15, 2011

If you’ve been reading Spice’s Bites for a while, you know that I’m a big fan of convenience. Mr. Spice and I are both busy people with demanding jobs, so I try to make things as easy as I can for us.

I tend to buy a mix of frozen and fresh veggies, depending on what I’m in the mood for and what I’m planning to eat that week. I love the convenience of frozen veggies — I use them to bulk up a frozen meal quite a bit and I don’t have to worry about them going bad. I’ve been using them quite a bit these past few weeks as work has gotten busier with our spring tax deadlines.

So you can imagine what good timing it was when I saw the opportunity to try out Green Giant’s frozen boxed vegetables through my membership with MyBlogSpark. Green Giant has plenty of frozen veggies to choose from, some plain and some with sauces or other flavorings.

The prize pack I received from MyBlogSpark and Green Giant contained a frozen sample of Green Giant frozen vegetables (I got broccoli with cheese sauce), an insulated tote bag, a serving bowl, a spoon, and a pedometer! All very cutely color-coordinated too, might I add!

I’m loving the serving bowl and spoon, can’t have too many of those! The insulated bag is great for taking home frozen items from the grocery store. And now that the weather is getting nicer, I will be putting that pedometer to good use.

The broccoli and cheese sauce couldn’t be easier to prepare — just put it on a plate, cut a slit, and microwave for 4-7 minutes. I added some seasonings and hot sauce and my side dish for dinner was complete!

So how do you get yourself one of these prize packs?
