Rodelle Holiday Giveaway!

First off if you haven’t read THIS post (especially if you are a food blogger) please do so. It’s kind of an important one to me. Second and way more fun for you is that I’m doing a giveaway. As some of you know I am a Rodelle ambassador and in doing so I get to use whatever products they carry. Except I had only been using the baking ones and had no idea all that they had to offer…like turkey brine and wassail!

So I figured if someone like me who actually promotes the brand didn’t know they had these items, then you probably don’t either. So I asked them if we could do a giveaway to get everyone in the holiday season so you can see just what they carry.

Here’s what comes in the gift basket:

Savory:
Herbes de provence: The perfect blend of thyme, fennel, basil, savory, and lavender, Herbes de Provence add flavor to grilled meats and fish. Add it to cassoulet or vegetable stews.

Turkey Brine: Rodelle’s Gourmet Turkey Brine is the only brine mix available with vanilla beans. We take care to select only the best ingredients available (see full list below). Use Rodelle’s Gourmet Turkey Brine to add a delicious flavor to your turkey – for a taste that your family will remember until the next Thanksgiving!

Seasonal:
Wassail: As the tradition went, a hot mulled wine or cider was drunk as an integral part of “Wassailing,” an English ritual to ensure a prosperous harvest. With similarities to a holiday caroling, the Wassailing tradition has been carried through the centuries through celebration and the hot mulled beverage, Wassail.

Whole Cinnamon Sticks: Our cinnamon adds a sweet, warm flavor to every recipe. Use in baked goods, holiday drinks, and fruit desserts. Particularly delicious with apples and pears.

Baking essentials:
Gourmet Dutch-Processed Baking Cocoa: Our gourmet baking cocoa is European Dutch-processed for rich flavor and appearance. Our cocoa contains one of the highest levels of cocoa butter on the market, ensuring superior chocolate flavor. From rich hot cocoa to fudgey brownies, Rodelle Gourmet Baking Cocoa makes a difference you can taste.

Gourmet Vanilla Paste: Rodelle Vanilla Paste is a convenient way to use all of the flavor that a single vanilla bean contains. Our paste offers the deep, rich taste of Madagascar vanilla beans, without the pod. Enjoy the robust vanilla flavor that Rodelle provides- from an easy to use jar.

Pure Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Extract: Rodelle Pure Vanilla Extract is our signature vanilla product. Our pure vanilla extract is produced from the highest-quality Bourbon vanilla beans. Our percolation process produces a superior vanilla extract containing one of the highest vanillin levels in the market. Made with pure natural hand selected vanilla beans, Rodelle Pure Vanilla Extract offers a deep, rich, natural flavor.

As you can see this giveaway is the perfect holiday basket. Something for the holiday dinner. Something to sip on while you go caroling through your neighborhood (okay maybe not) or to spike with booze to help you get through a story your relative has told a billion times (slightly more likely). And of course something for holiday baking! Cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and vanilla bean paste! So many people ask me where I get my vanilla bean paste (that I use a ton on this blog)…well there’s your answer!

So how do you get a chance to win this awesome basket? Leave a comment telling me what your favorite thing you have made from my blog. And if you have never made anything from my blog what one thing do you want to make from it? You also get a bonus if you go and like the Rodelle FB page (and leave a comment here that you did), which you should do anyway as they do giveaways on there as well! US residents only (sorry). Giveaway ends Sunday November 16th, 2014 at 5pm PST. GIVEAWAY HAS ENDED.

  1. All the food on your blog looks amazing, but what I really want to try (and soon) is the Chocolate Graham Cracker Cake. And I liked the Rodelle FB page about 6 months ago 😀

  2. This is a toughie. I’ve been reading your blog since nearly the beginning! I’m gonna (currently) go with the Bailey’s Irish Cream Cheese Swirl Brownies. Nom!

    Reply

  4. I’ve only make the Baileys Caramel cake so far. I have compiled a large list of things to try for the holidays. On my way to like the page.

  7. Even if you weren’t doing a give away, I would pat you on the back for this recipe: Cinnamon Roll Cheesecake.
    http://www.culinaryconcoctionsbypeabody.com/2010/02/07/cinnamon-roll-cheesecake/

    I make it on my birthday because that’s the only day I feel justified in eating as much of it as I want. I’d say it’s not only my favorite recipe from your blog, but possibly my favorite dessert-ish recipe ever. From anywhere. Sorry Dorie.

    I know you only asked for one, but my fave savory recipe from your blog is the Shrimp Scampi Dip. It is now requested from my fam every Thanksgiving (we also eat a bunch of appetizers before dinner, which makes little to no sense).

    Also liked Rodelle’s FB page. I love their extract, I didn’t know they had all of this other stuff either!!

  8. I made your Pumpkin Whoopie Pies for Thanksgiving a couple of years back. They were a HUGE hit. Every single time you post something with peanut butter in it, I absolutely drool all over myself. LOL. Also, you’re homemade pop tarts look incredible. The strawberry ones were/are my favorite. Thanks for the giveaway!

    Reply

  11. The cheesecakes are my favorite. particularly the raspberry swirl that I make every year and use the shortbread crust. I look forward to it every thanksgiving and the cheesecake base is the one I use for any type of cheesecake I make.

    Reply

  13. My favorite are the rebate muffins, while my husband is partial to your pumpkin ones (just made them again this week). I am going to use the rest of the pumpkin to make your pasta dish this week. I liked Rodelle’s page as well.

    Reply

  16. My favorite thing to make on your blog is definitely the Snickerdoodle muffins. They’re a hit every time I make them! 🙂 (I also went and liked Rodell’s facebook page.)

    Reply

  17. I’ve loved everything I’ve ever made from your blog so I’m just going to go with the most recent – the pumpkin gingerdoodle cookies were a huge hit.

    Reply

  22. The cinnamon bun cheesecake, which was delicious but also I remember someone being madddd in the comments because the cake hadn’t become firm while baking, and had maybe thrown it out without letting it cool.

    Reply

  24. ive made so many good things but I want to win because this year I vowed to brine a turkey and this has turkey brine!

    Reply

  25. i personally haven’t made anything from your blog, but I asked my sister to make your banana fudge butterfinger cake for my birthday a few years back.
    It was amazing. I have considered making any recipe that involved snicker doodles! I often want to make something and will get around to it one day! 😉

    Reply

  26. What an awesome giveaway! I love Rodelle and your blog! I have made quite a few of your recipes actually but after reading that post about food bloggers that you have linked at the beginning of this post (great post btw), I want to make the malted milk pot de creme! Holy moly it looks delicious!

    Reply

  33. I love so many of your recipes but the one I have made most often by far is your white chocolate apricot and walnut scones. They are perfect every time and SO delicious!

    Reply

  35. I make the cinnamon roll cheesecake on a regular basis. Once a quarter or so. Also rocky road bars, snickerdoodle blondies and home made pop tarts!

    Reply

  38. It’s a toss up between the old fashioned chocolate cake and frosting and the pumpkin muffins.

    I liked their facebook page.

    Reply

  39. Nutella Truffle Brownie Cookies won over the hearts of my current friends and coworkers when I moved to Los Angeles. Never fails!

    Reply

  42. I really want to try your Malted Milk Chocolate Pots de Crème. I love Malted Milk balls so I have to give this a try for Christmas.

    Reply

  53. Only one thing? That’s hard, because I love just about everything I’ve made from your blog. I guess I’ll have to say Candy Corn Ice Cream, because my brothers love it too, and making them happy makes me happy. Your blog spreads happiness! 😀

    Reply

  54. I have loved so many of your recipes, I’m not sure which to choose, but I think maybe it might be the peanut butter marshmallow fluff banana bread, that is our favorite banana bread of all time, but the snickerdoodle blondies, and the snickerdoodle creme brulee come in really close, and the egg nog muffins…I could keep going :). Thanks for all your awesome recipes!

  57. Well, my mom got me reading your site after she made the hazelnut coco krispie treats for my birthday. My favorite thing I can think of right now is the ginger ale crock pot ham with sweet potatoes.

    Reply

  58. I have not made anything from your site yet but that bailys caramel cake sounds epic and one I will have to make this season.

    Reply

  59. None of your recipes have failed me yet, to be honest. However, the one that is incredibly popular with family, friends and co-workers is without doubt your Vanilla Yogurt Cake with Orange Glaze. I vary it with whatever yogurt is cheap, but it is ALWAYS winner, winner, chicken dinner! Also, I liked Rodelle.

    Reply

  60. I’ve made a few things from your blog and enjoyed all of them, but my absolute favorite is the Snickerdoodle Muffins. They’ve become my family’s traditional Thanksgiving breakfast.

    Reply

  61. I can’t wait to make the Bacon Breakfast Rolls with Maple Glaze! I started dipping my bacon (and sausage) into the maple syrup on my pancakes when I was a little girl (that was a long time ago!) Who knew that I was a trend-setter 🙂

    Reply

  72. I love everything I made from your blog, but our current favorite is the peanut butter cup-peanut butter chocolate chip cookie dough cheesecake bars – it is ridiculously good!

    Reply

  75. I made the chocolate malted whopper cupcakes, they turned out really well. Though I did end up accidentally making butter before I made frosting!

    Reply

  76. I decided to look for something new, and came across the gingerbread pumpkin bars, which combine my two favorite flavors from my favorite time of year! Can’t wait to try them. Also went ahead and gave Rodelle some love on FB.

    Reply

  78. I would have to say my favorites have been either the Cookie Dough Truffles or Peanut butter nutter fluffer cookies.. although everything I’ve tried from your blog has been yummy!

    Reply

  79. My favorite is probably the chocolate graham cracker cake. I love using crushed graham crackers instead of flour. so yummy

    Reply

  83. snickerdoddle muffins (refund muffins) I love them even more than the cookies. I just made a batch on Saturday and threw in the pumpkin chips so yummy

    Reply

  84. Honestly, I have several recipes of yours printed but haven’t had time to cook any, lol. I want to make the Christmas Toffee the most right now.

    Reply

  86. I’ve saved your Marshmallow Snowflake Cupcakes, and am still keeping my eye out for big snowflake sprinkles like you used. Because I can’t make a recipe unless I can get it as close to the one I’m copying as possible.

    Reply

  89. The pumpkin whoopie pies with maple butter cream, so very yummy 🙂 I’ve heard of Rodelle somewhat. I liked their page and plan to check them out some more.

    Reply

  94. I have made your Banana Fosters Pound Cake with the omg Caramel Rum glaze, your Snickerdoodle Muffins, Marshmallow Crunch Brownie Bars, and a bunch of others I can’t remember because I happen to be full. I have never had a fail from you, girl. I wantto your Blue Cheese Cheesecake with Pear-Onion Jam soon! Oh and I bought malt powder (finally) for use in one of your recipes, but I have to go back and see which one!

    Reply

  98. Where to start…Bananas Foster pound cake is my personal fave. I have a bunch from Pinterest and Facebook. Plus Hockey!! Thank you!!

    Reply

  103. I love your Snickerdoodle muffins (aka the ones that woman emailed you about and had a fit over wanting a refund!) Those are soooo yummy. 🙂

    I liked Rodelle on Facebook too. 🙂

    Reply

  109. Gotta admit, I’ve never made anything from your blog. I’m a diabetic on a super carb-restricted diet. I actually come her for your personality! 🙂 Though I am going to make those malted pot de creme for my husband, who is a chocolate malted addict!

    Also liked Rodelle FB.

  110. The brown sugar bundtcake. All of your creations are so clever. You’re like Nigella Lawson but more inspired by your boundless imagination.

    Reply

  113. i haven’t made anything from your blog – i just come to “visit” you for your words, honesty and spirit. And to see the pup 🙂

    Reply

  114. Your cinnamon roll cheesecake. I hadn’t thought about it for quite awhile, but then you mentioned it again a couple of months ago and I was reminded how much I loved that dessert! I have to find a reason to make it again soon.

    Reply

  116. I would like to second your ‘refund’ muffins; I made a batch a while ago, and they were delicious – no refund needed here! I’m looking forward to making the pumpkin spice latte toffee cake too, for Thanksgiving, and I bet it will be a big hit. I wish I had enough time to make more of your recipes, since everything you post seems so yummy!

    Reply

  117. I don’t really follow recipes; I use them more as inspiration. You inspire my whimsical side. If/when I get married again, I will use your recipe for a really fun wedding.

    Reply

  120. I’m new to your blog (and glad I found you!), so I haven’t made any of your recipes yet. I do have several marked to try, though, as I make my way through your extensive recipe index. One I will be making soon is the Apple and Almond Bars, and because I have walnuts on hand, I’ll probably use walnuts instead of almonds as you did. Thanks!

    Reply

  128. Hands down it’s the snickerdoodle muffins! I mean, I bitch about wanting a refund the entire time I eat them, but I just can’t stop making them! 🙂

    Reply

  129. i havent made any yet since i’ve just only stumbled upon the blog but i think cinnamon roll cheesecake would be divine for thanksgiving! 🙂 — or anytime for that matter 😉

    Reply

  130. !st time for me to post a comment to any blog(or ANY where) I am one of the people who have followed your blog everyday for years but stayed in the shadows:)I have many favorite recipes taste wise but the Ultimate Vanilla Cupcakes have become my go to birthday cupcake recipe because they ALWAYS turn out perfect and they taste great. Never have used Rodelle but I have an appreciation for good vanilla.

    Reply

  133. The recipe that led me to your website was for marshmallows and the chocolate peppermint rimmed cups! Been making them ever since.

    Reply

  136. I haven’t made any of your recipes yet, but would love to make the Meyer Lemon-Glazed Madeleines. My dad’s friend has lots of Meyer Lemon trees and is always providing me with plenty.
