Long long ago, I promised that I would do a giveaway when I reached 100 “likes” on my Facebook page. I hit that milestone a few weeks ago and have been plotting my giveaway ever since. Now it is time. I present to you…my Arizona Giveaway!
There is a reason behind this themed giveaway. I’m originally a born and bred Midwestern gal from Ohio. I went to live in China for a while and finally came back to the USA for graduate school. I went to undergrad in Ohio and wanted to try an area of the US that was totally different from where I grew up. So I went to grad school in Flagstaff, Arizona. I ended up liking the Southwest so much that I decided I wanted to stick around for another year or so. I started my 2nd Masters down in Tucson, Arizona and that’s where I am right now. In going from Ohio to China to Arizona I learned to appreciate different foods and that’s one of the reasons this blog was born. So this giveaway celebrates the love I have for the tastes of Arizona.
I purchased these lovely items from the Seasoned Kitchen in Flagstaff, Arizona where they carry quite a few impressive products from around the state of Arizona, plus a bunch of BEAUTIFUL kitchen products I can’t afford on a GA’s salary. The coffee is from one of our favorite coffee shops in Tucson, Raging Sage Coffee Roasters, which is a four minute bike ride down the street from our house. Great, right? There’s also a kitschy secret Arizona prize I’ll send along that is not pictured here.

How fun! We love Arizona – lived there for a bit too. 🙂 We haven’t cooked from there yet, so this would be a fun thing to win. Congrats on the 100 likes on FB.
Yea…you guys need to choose Arizona soon! Just celebrated 100 years of statehood on Valentines Day…that’s a good reason right? 🙂
Terrific recipes and a giveaway and posted on my birthday! I spotted your comment on Eat, Play, Love and decided to check things out. 🙂
Of course, it’s always nice to visit a blog from the warmer parts of the N American continent … I’m in the south-west as well. South-western Ontario, Canada that is. 🙂 I love spicy foods however, the spicier the better, so your basket of goodies would find a good home here. Subscribing momentarily.
Congratulations of your 100 likes..
Thank you so much Miss Gloria!
