Participate in the Sobeys Refresh Your Flavours Twitter Party on March 19 from 9 pm until 10 pm EST.

I’ll be there, along with the other Sobeys’ Better Food Lovers Bloggers, chatting about fresh ingredients as we get into the spring. I saw rhubarb the other day and asparagus and was so excited!

Give a Sobeys tip and Win a $100 gift card (plus: my annual Wine and Cheese competition!)

Blogging

image source: Sobeys

I have *really* been loving being a Better Food Blogger with Sobeys the past couple of months.  I’ve written before about how some sponsorship/paid partnerships are just a great fit, and this is one of them. When they first emailed me, it was basically this:

Them: “We’d like to hire you as a Blogger for a couple of months. Your first job is to bake and write about the cookies, and another blogger will share their cookies with you”.

Me: “UM, BEST JOB EVER”.

It’s not a forever gig, but man, it’s been fun.

Now, for December, the bloggers were tasked with writing about our Big Day planning around the holidays.  We host an annual Wine and Cheese competition each year and it’s a pretty big deal in the family so I wrote about that.

Read all the way to the end of that post though because by commenting at the end of it with your best holiday survival tip and you could win a $100 Sobeys give card! Pretty awesome right?  But don’t comment your tip on this post – click over to my Sobeys post and leave your tip there.

Also, you can check out the other tips and Big  Day planning for my fellow bloggers!

Good luck, and I can’t wait to read your tips (although selecting might be tricky!!)

Win! Sobeys Gift Card Giveaway and tracking where you dinner came from

Parenting

 

It’s time for another Sobeys gift card giveaway!

I had the opportunity to purchase the new Sensations by Compliments wild fish frozen packages.  They come in portions of two.

With the gift card we purchased the Halibut and the salmon.  Both fish are sustainably caught and are wild.  More information can be found on their website.

Each package has a numbered code on it and a QR code (very cool!) that when scanned brings me to the website (although it was a little tricky to read at first-mobile friendly? But once I select the province it was easier to read).  The site directs me to enter the numbered code and it tracks where dinner came from!

It’s really interesting to see where the fish was caught, the fisherman who caught it, how it was caught and the company who processed it.  How great is that?  I shared it on Twitter and others were able to see where my dinner was arriving from (both the salmon and halibut we had were from BC).

Since trying it we now keep it stocked in the freezer for easy, quick meals (you can find salmon and fish recipes on A Little Bit of Foodsense).

WIN!

Sobeys is generously giving readers a chance to win a $30 gift card so you can try them too!

To enter, simply leave a comment below and let me know where you go to find local food.  The market? Great grocery store? Your own garden? Share for a chance to win!

1-One entry per person

2-Open to Canadian residents only, excluding Quebec

3-Giveaway closes October 27, 2011 at 9 pm EST

 

Disclosure: I was given a Sobeys gift card to try out this product but now love it and have added it to my weekly grocery list! Opinions are my own
