Nestle Family School Supplies Giveaway
This giveaway is closed. Congratulations to the winner, comment #27 from Andrea V.! I was invited to attend a blogger event at Nestle Headquarters in California at the end of September, but I had to decline because the dates overlapped with my trip to IZEAFest. I was really bummed out that I had to miss it, because I had been to the Nestle Culinary Center earlier this year and had such a wonderful time meeting some of the people that make Nestle brands. Even though I wasn't able to attend the event, Nestle offered me an opportunity to give away a terrific pack of Mead and Five Star brand products, from a campaign they did for back to school on the Nestle Family website. They sent me the same prize pack so I could see what the giveaway winner would be getting, and I have to tell you, it is pretty cool: If you're not familiar with the Nestle Family site, you really should check it out. You'll find Halloween snacks and decorations, recipes, and coupons for Nestle Family … [Read more...]
Hello from the Nestle Culinary Center!
cross-posted from MomCooks: Yesterday, Nestle flew me to Solon, Ohio to attend a day-long conference and roundtable discussion on the topic of Let's Fix Dinner. This morning we started out in the Nestle Baking Kitchen meeting with Jenny from VeryBestBaking.com and eating fresh-baked cookies (YUM). Then we moved into their Culinary Center which is like a huge kitchen with grills and a wood-fire pizza oven station and people chopping and grilling and mixing. There is Pecan-Crusted BACON, people. I am in heaven. We've only been here an hour and I've already been reminded of just how loyal I am to the Nestle brand. I've mentioned before that the only acceptable chocolate chip cookie as far as my husband is concerned is ones made with Nestle Toll House Mini Morsels. Other products made by Nestle include Carnation Condensed Milks, Libby pumpkin, Pria bars, Powerbars, and of course, CANDY. There's a little tray sitting in front of me with mini butterfingers and nestle crunch … [Read more...]
