I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter! Grilling Giveaway

This giveaway is closed. Congratulations to the winner, #130 Diane Baum!

It might be the middle of October, but even here in Michigan it’s still warm enough to grill outside! Nothing tastes better than freshly grilled chicken, kabobs, and yum, corn on the cob. I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter! Spray gives grilled food a buttery taste with zero calories, zero fat, and zero grams trans fat per serving. And, it can even be used when grilling, something I learned when I had the privilege of attending the Unilever PentHOUSE event at BlogHer 2010!

After tearing myself away from the unbelievable blueberry muffins made with I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter! baking sticks, I had the pleasure of meeting Unilever Test Kitchen Chef Normajean. Chef Normajean explained to me that ICBINB Spray gives foods a buttery taste and keeps foods from sticking to grills. It adds fresh butter flavor to your favorite summer dishes and with 0 calories, 0g fat, and 0g trans fat per serving it helps you grill smarter all summer long!

The ICBINB Spray page has four recipes to get you grilling – Corn on the Cob, Shrimp Skewers, Chicken Kabobs, and Grilled Garlic Bread. YUM!  Just spray the surface of the food you are grilling, and when you flip it over, spray again. It’s so easy!  To make your grilling even easier, I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter! has generously donated this fabulous grilling kit to the winner of this giveaway!

The prize pack contains all of this:

I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter!® Spray

Premium Non-Stick Grilling Basket

Crate & Barrel Portable 4-piece Grill Tool Set with Carrying Case

8 Better For You BBQ Recipe cards (from the dishes you sampled at the event!)

Better For You BBQ Newsletter with recipes and tips

    BOB Books Sight Words Giveaway – 2 Winners!

    Prizey Pick badge Pictures, Images and Photos Special thanks to the editors of Prizey.net for choosing this giveaway as an Editor’s Pick!

    BOB Books by Scholastic is the #1 bestselling learn-to-read program and now it contains two brand-new sets focused on learning and practicing Sight Words.

    Sight Words are words that children are taught to recognize by sight, rather than sounding them out. They are words that don’t follow phonetic rules in their pronounciation, like “aunt”, “friend”, or “out”. Bob Books Sight Words feature the top Sight Words in two sets – one for kindergarten and one for first grade – in order to allow parents and children to read, learn, and practice easily and enjoyably.

    Scholastic has introduced two new Sight Words box sets – Sight Words Kindergarten and Sight Words First Grade.  With these special sets, parents can decide whether to purchase the set their child will need in the current school year, or purchase the set that helps reinforce what they already learned.

    Each box set includes:

    • 10 original books (each with 3 new sight words)
    • 30 flash cards
    • Parent guide

    HOW TO BUY: Visit The Scholastic Store to buy either or both of these titles. Both Sight Words Kindergarten and Sight Words First grade have a list price of $16.99, but are on sale now for $13.99 (each), a savings of 20 percent!
