  2. Sounds good! I could use all the easy and quick ways to get a meal to the table that I can find and more good kitchen utensils. Thanks.

  21. I’ve been wanting to try this product. The flavors sound delicious! And love the carousel utensils!

  25. I would love to win this! Never tried the recipe starters, but I am sure I could use some new utensils in the kitchen :o)

  38. What a wonderful and helpful product. Can’t wait to try them all. Thanks for the opportunity to enter.

  40. I wouldn’t use these everyday, but they’re nice having on hand for when you don’t have tons of time to prep a meal from scratch. They pair up quite nicely with different meats/veggies/starches, and have flavors that we really liked. Extra bonus: each can has a boxtop on the label. : ) Thanks for the chance to win, Jill!

  43. I tried the Fire Roasted Tomatoes in a Beef Pot Roast Slow Cooker recipe and it was absolutely wonderful. I would love to have the other flavors added to my pantry.

  44. I want to try all of these. (The Utensils would look good on my counter too!). Thanks for the great web-site.

  47. Would love to try this, but unfortunately this stuff is pretty pricy. With a grocery budget of only $20/week for four (“super couponing is my life”) it’s not in the budget unless free…….

  56. The love soup!! But I would be most excited about those utensils! They are so pretty and I love the stand too. I can already see them in my kitchen :)

  77. I’ve really wanted to try these, but haven’t picked one up yet. This would be great to win!

  91. And be sure to take time to enjoy the holiday with family. No friends — you’d be overrun! Thanks for everything, and this contest, too.

  94. Nice giveaway Jill. Hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving!! Thanks for all that you do for your followers:-)
