red envelope giveaway
By Kate on November 16, 2011WHAT????
Yep. The word ‘GIVEAWAY’ just landed on my blog. Surprised? Yeah, me too. I’m really not one to get all that worked up over a Giveaway, either on my blog or someone else’s. If the item is really something I would like, maybe yes; like this gorgeous necklace giveaway that I won from my friend Anna’s blog. But other giveaways, even with cool products that I would love to have, always seem really out of reach due to the excessive number of people who respond.
That’s where THIS ONE gets fun!!
Because, you see, hardly anyone comments on this blog. So in doing a giveaway, if you comment, your chances of winning are greater. And this item is a pretty nice one for the upcoming holiday season.
It’s from Red Envelope, a high-end gift site, specializing in prime holiday gifts. Seriously…. just LOOK at some of these offerings.
http://www.redenvelope.com/christmas-gifts-rcfav
Red Envelope has A LOT of great ideas for holiday giving. The site is loaded with every imaginable option, from home and garden decor, clothing and accessories, jewelry, baby gifts, gifts for the men in your life, kitchenware, barware, graphic art, candles, frames….. it’s an endless variety, and many items can be personalized as well. Of course, being so inclined to food and cooking, I went right to that area to see what was available.
Now I’m not one to buy a specialty kitchen item, made for one purpose, so I skim over those in favor of something that will get a lot of use in my kitchen. That’s why I settled on this hickory cutting board. I have a lot of really good quality, sturdy cutting boards that I’ve collected over the years, including a superbly heavy duty Boos board and I will spend good money on a board that will last forever. I know they will get used here. Every kitchen needs a wide option of cutting boards.
This hickory board is superbly heavy-duty, with a beautiful grain finish. It stands on two solid legs, with a handle designed for display hanging. I know this cutting board will serve us well in the years to come.

DISCLAIMER: The gift code for both my gift and the one to give to one lucky reader were provided to me free by Buttoned Up, and Red Envelope. I could choose the gift of my choice in return for this blog post. All words, opinions and choices were mine.

Nothing like a giveaway to make me comment for the first time. (I’m a wee bit ashamed.) But that cutting board is gorgeous! — More importantly, thanks for being so forthcoming, so thoughtful and so inspiring for my cooking.

I LOVE the the cutting board. Would be great for serving, plus wood, I love wood…bowls. I even saw a wood wedding ring with diamonds on a site recently, (well maybe that’s going a bit too far)

Well, I was going to comment on your chocolate gingerbread cake, but it appears you aren’t giving one away.
I’ve heard of Red Envelope but never seen their products. They have some really nice things.
Hope all is well with you. Nice to see you are still blogging your amazing recipes and pictures.

Hi Kate – I have been enjoying yours and Brenda’s blogs since we met this summer. I have been wanting to let you know that I did your Black Bean Tostadas as appetizers on the grill for our (very large)camping crew at the lake this summer. They were a huge hit! Don’t give up on making gnocci from scratch – I have had good luck with the premade gnocci also but since I have LOTS of potatoes from my garden I felt I needed to try master them from scratch. My first attempts were heavy and gluey but my last try I used my Yukon Golds and used quite a bit less flour than the recipe called for – I think it was Giada’s – and just generously floured my butcher block. They were actually light and yummy! Of course it could have just been luck!
