Jennie-O Turkey Burgers – Will You Make the Switch? Coupon Giveaway.
September 7, 2011 - Written by DianaJennie-O Switch to Turkey Promotion
Jennie-O has a new Switch To Turkey Burgers Promotion. Jennie-O sent a food truck to NY to show people how tasty turkey burgers could be and to convince them to make the switch to turkey over other burgers. For dinner, we tried out Jennie-O Turkey Burgers and let me tell you, they get an A+ from my family. No, they don’t taste like beef hamburgers, they don’t taste like vegetarian Luna Burgers, they don’t taste like bison burgers, they taste like Jennie-O Burgers, delicious in their own right.

Celebrate With Cookerati and a Kenmore Elite 5 Quart Stand Mixer Giveaway
December 13, 2010 - Written by Diana
I was given a choice of Kenmore small kitchen appliances to review for Cookerati and also give one away. In spite of all the drama of the holiday season, there is something to celebrate in Cookerati-land. This December we hit three years of posting to this wonderful blog of ours. We started with a bunch of different people, but it slowly wound down to Deb and me, though Deb does more of the administrative stuff and I do more recipes. Anyway, I chose the Kenmore Elite 5 Quart stand mixer because darn it I didn’t have one, and I coveted one for years. Years, I tell you. So in honor of our blogiversary – Cookerati is giving one away too, (okay, the giveaway was from Kenmore, but it’s perfect timing don’t you think?)
