Lots of you showed up for the Singing Dog Vanilla Bean Paste giveaway (which now includes cinnamon as well because we had over 100 comments!) Thank you! I’m pleased to announce that the winner, chosen by the Random Number Generator at Random.org is…. Nora from Fuss Free Recipes! Congratulations, Nora. For those of you who didn’t win, head over to Singing Dog Vanilla and pick up some vanilla bean paste for yourself. You’ll love it, I promise!

I’ll be kicking off another great giveaway next Tuesday, so stay tuned!

Another way you can win a really cool prize package is by participating in What’s For Dinner Wednesdays. My Cajun Beef Southwestern Salad post last week gave all the details, but in case you missed it, here they are.

Last week I was contacted to be one of six food blog “ambassadors” for a new weekly challenge that has launched called “Beef – What’s for Dinner Wednesdays“. Each week, the Beef. It’s What’s For Dinner Facebook fan page will be updated with a new recipe to make. The challenge is to make the recipe and post your results on the Facebook fan page. Each person who participates will be entered into a drawing to win one of several really cool gift baskets which include The Healthy Beef Cookbook (which I’ve been using for months now and love!), a set of Crate & Barrel Grilling Tools, Sur La Table mini steak thermometers, a reusable shopping bag and other items to help you shop for and cook healthy beef meals. These drawings are happening each week (with several winners chosen each week) so your chances of bringing one of these cool prize packages is great! Check out the Beef. It’s What’s For Dinner fan page for more details!

The recipe for this past week was really different, but so good. I am normally a pretty fuss-free burger lover, liking seasoning and cheese. The East Meets West Burger has really opened my eyes to being a little more adventurous with my burger making!

For the recipe and to join in on the weekly giveaways and fun, head over to the Beef. It’s What’s for Dinner fan page. Join in on the discussion, make and review the recipes, and enter for the chance to win some great prizes each week!
