Nordic Ware Zoo Animals Pancake Pan Giveaway

Nordic Ware Zoo Animals Pancake Pan Last month the awesome people at Challenge Dairy asked if I was interested in receiving another package from them. Yes please! This time, they sent me a bunch of coupons for free butter, an awesome Nordic Ware mini bundt/candy pan, and a zoo animals pancake pan. I was super excited about the mini bundt pan because a few years ago my sister bought me a Nordic Ware pan which I absolutely love. Their products are wonderful. (And look! They also have a coupon on their site as well.)

If you don’t currently own any Nordic Ware, here’s your chance to win some! They’ve teamed up with Challenge Dairy and are having a photo contest where you can enter to win $2500 worth of prizes. I know, that is an insanely awesome prize, and you better believe I am entering!

Now on to my giveaway–since I rarely make pancakes and don’t have a need for zoo animal shaped pancakes, I decided to give the pancake pan (and some free butter coupons) away to one of my lucky readers. To enter, leave a comment telling me about the best dessert you’ve ever eaten–it can be something you made, from a restaurant, whatever. Just share all the delicious details.

Contest ends at 11:59 p.m. EST on Sunday, April 18, 2010. One winner will be selected at random shortly thereafter and contacted by email. Please note this contest is only open to residents of the U.S. and Canada.

My Favorite Kitchen Things, Part 1

I’ve been wanting to write a series of posts about my favorite kitchen items for some time now but never got around to it. Then the other day I was approached by the nice people at Challenge Butter (the butter with the elk on the box) asking if I’d like a package of their products. Considering their butter is a product I already use, I figured why not.

Well, I received the package and not only did they give me coupons for free butter (some for me and some for you!), they also sent me OXO and Spice Islands products. Since most of you have never been to my apartment, you don’t know how much I love OXO, especially their cookie scoops, whisks, and storage containers.

The whisks and cookie scoops are padded (and I think ergonomically designed) so when I scoop five dozen cookies from dough that chilled overnight, my hands don’t cramp up. I even have three sizes of the scoop–I use one for small cookies, one for larger cookies, and one for cupcakes. But my favorite product of theirs by far is the storage containers. I have six. And I labeled each one with my label maker because I’m a dork like that. (You would do that too if you had three different kinds of flour in your kitchen in clear containers.) Here, take a look:

My Favorite Kitchen Things, Part I

(My galley kitchen is so small that I had to add a microwave cart for extra storage.) Now, why I love the containers:

  • They’re clear, so you can easily see what is in each container.
  • They’re airtight and the lid comes off with a push of a button (literally). I used to have containers that would cause my kitchen to be covered in flour every time I opened the container; these don’t do that.
  • They’re stackable which is great for people like me with limited kitchen space.
  • They’re more than wide enough to put a large scoop in, so you don’t have to spoon flour into the measuring cup.

What are some of your favorite kitchen tools? What can you not live without? And finally, want a free box of butter? Leave a comment below by midnight EST on Sunday, November 22, 2009 and you will be entered for a chance to win one of three coupons good for a free box of Challenge Butter. U.S. residents only please.

Next in the series: My favorite mixing bowls.
