My First Give-Away!

UPDATE: Friday, May 13, 2011- I am so sorry, but Blogger has been down for the past two days and needed to erase and repost all posts created after Wed. morning (5/11), which this post was.   When they finally got this post reposted, it was done so without all of the comments/entries that were already made.  So if you made a comment/entry for this giveaway on Wed. 5/11 or Thurs. 5/12, please please re-enter!  Any entries made on Friday 5/13 are all set to go. 

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of FRESCHETTA®. All opinions are 100% mine.
Hey hey! I'm back with another day of excitin' news for me and YOU! 
Welcome to my first ever blog give-away! There are so many milestones we bloggers achieve: our first follower, our second follower, our third follower, the first follower who is someone we DON’T know, our first linky party, our 100th post {this is #96 for me}, our first year anniversary, our first sponsor, our first give-away, our first…..WAIT!! 
This is my first give-away!
Ok, enough of the chatter, let’s get down to business already…
So let’s start out by showing you what the give-away is for, shall we?
This beautiful bamboo cutting board and hors d'oeuvres knives:

Cute huh? 
 The winner will also receive a coupon to try any of the FRESCHETTA® SIMPLY...INSPIRED™  Pizzas for FREE!

My family LOVES pizza! It’s a big staple in our house, usually making its way to the dinner table at least one night a week.  Now, if you know me, you probably know that you won’t usually find me in the frozen pizza section, but Freschetta lured me there with a free pizza.  {A night off from cooking and it’s free: I’ll take it!} And I have to say, frozen pizzas have come a long way…I believe the last frozen pizza I ate was probably 20 years ago and from that famous Mama who shares my name!
Freschetta Simply…Inspired Pizzas are the newest line Freschetta offers.  They come in 8 varieties…and feature larger cuts of fresh veggies, a thin, crispy crust, real cheese and signature sauces.  Additionally, they are packaged in their FRESCH-TASTE SEAL packages, which uses 30% less packaging than their original. It just peels open, no box, to reveal the tasty goods inside. This "green" mama likes less packaging.

So I have to share a funny story.  Well, let me back up a little more while I’m at it.  Alright, so Trader Joe’s does not carry Freschetta {no shock here}…so off I ventured into our local grocery store, Mollie Stones, and they too did not carry Freschetta, darn!  Determined to find it, we found ourselves at Safeway next.  Yay! Third store’s a charm.  Now, they didn’t have all 8 to chose from, only 4…which was more than ok as my kids immediately selected the Canadian Style Bacon and Pineapple, aka: Hawaiian.  That was easy!  Only we get home and I go to snap a picture before cooking it and realize I had gotten a pizza from their “Naturally Rising” collection, rather than their “Simply…Inspired” collection which I intended to get.
So back to Safeway again, only to realize they don’t have any of the Simply…Inspired Pizzas…yet {they’re so new, I feel like I’m on the cutting edge of the pizza industry}.  Oh darn!  I’m trying so hard to complete my assignment {I feel like I’m back in high school} and I can’t get the right product!!  So I send my mom out to a different Safeway where she successfully finds 3 of the 8 varieties and takes them all!  Gotta Love Mom, always making sure you do your homework right.
 It’s pizza night!
 
We tried {from left to right} the Bruschetta, Hawaiian and Rustic Pepperoni Pomodoro…which also happens to be in order of my taste preference for them all.
The Bruschetta had a nice herbal taste, big tomatoes, and tasted like it was on garlic bread: yum!
For frozen pizza, these guys have it figured out.  Now, I’d love to offer one lucky reader a night off from cooking with a coupon to try any of Freschetta’s new pizzas absolutely free!  And of course, the cute cutting board and hors d'oeuvres knives pictured above, too.
