This giveaway is closed and a winner has been selected.
I wasn't planning on doing a non-Special Needs related giveaway so soon after posting the My Blog Spark/Burger King $25 gift card giveaway earlier this week, but this was too good an offer to refuse. My Blog Spark, General Mills, and Publix want to help you and your family eat better at home. Since time and money play such an important role in meal planning, Publix wants to take some of the stress out of deciding what to prepare and help you stay within your budget. They have teamed up with several major brands you already know and probably already love to bring you The Best Meals Happen at Home.
One feature of The Best Meals Happen at Home is their FASTastic Meals Recipes - easy, family friendly recipes that can be made in 30 minutes or less. You can view the recipes online, or sign up for a weekly email newsletter (aka meal planner) that has new recipes. The newsletter also contains... (my favorite thing in the whole wide world besides my children) coupons!
Try this FASTastic Recipe for Crunchy Chicken Nuggets using, of all things, Cheerios:
Prep time: 15 Min
Cook time: 25 Min
Makes: 4 servings
Ingredients:
2 cups Cheerios® cereal
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup milk
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon mustard
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
Directions:
Heat oven to 400°F. Spray with cooking spray or lightly grease 13x9-inch pan.
Finely crush cereal. Stir together cereal, salt and pepper; set aside. In medium bowl, stir together milk, honey and mustard until blended. Dip chicken into milk mixture; coat with cereal mixture. Place chicken in pan; drizzle with melted butter.
Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until crust is golden and chicken is no longer pink in center.
The second way Publix is trying to help your family eat better at home is with the "Best Meals Happen at Home" event at Publix supermarkets from January 26th through February 1st. Look for in-store coupons that will be valid through February 15th (our Publix sales flyer has the coupons printed in it as well). Visit BestMealsatHome.com to sign up and receive emails with weekly recipes and coupon offers that will help you save up to $200 this year.
Here in Middle Tennessee, our Publix stores lets us use two coupons for one item if one coupon is a Publix issued coupon and one coupon is a manufacturer's coupon. It's called stacking, and it's one of the reasons I shop at Publix when I live within five miles of four major grocery stores. Stacking is an extreme couponing trick that can turn a good deal into a great deal. Best Deals Happen at Home coupons are store coupons, so ask customer service if you are unfamiliar with your local Publix's coupon policy.
One lucky able2able reader will win a $25 Publix gift card. Everybody say, "thank you My Blog Spark and General Mills!"
You do not have to be an able2able follower to enter this giveaway but you do need to leave an email address or have a public profile so I can contact you if you win.
I never share or sell follower information, but if you prefer to enter this giveaway as anonymous you must email me (a midg rn at gee mail dot calm) so I have a way to connect the entry with a person.
This giveaway ends at 11:59 pm (CT) on Tuesday, January 31st. The winner's name will be posted on able2able and I will also contact you. The lucky winner will have 72 hours to reply.
Mandatory First Entry Visit The Best Meals Happen at Home website or Facebook wall and sign up for their weekly newsletter to get Fastastic recipes and coupons for major brands delivered directly to your emailbox.
The mandatory first entry must be completed before you can complete any of the following additional entries!
You can choose to do one or all of these additional entries in any order. There are a total of 9 possible entries.
For 1 additional entry:
- Like able2able Blog on Facebook and post a shout out comment on the wall. Current Facebook Fans may post an entry.
- Post a link to this giveaway on your Facebook status.
- Tweet the link to this giveaway using the hashtag #MyBlogSpark.
- Become a public follower of able2able Blog. Current followers may post three separate entries.
It is very important that you post a comment for each entry. Why? Because a random number generator will be used to select the winner. Each comment will be numbered by Blogger, and I will use those numbers for the drawing. So if you combine entries into one post all your entries will not be counted. There will be no do-overs!
I will verify that the winning entry has met the requirements above, so if your comment for a FB status update is the winning comment then I might ask to see that link, etc. If I cannot verify your entry, then all your entries will be removed from the list and the drawing will be repeated.
Disclosure: The Publix gift card, information, and giveaway have been provided by General Mills through MyBlogSpark. I received a $25 Publix gift card in exchange for writing this post. The sponsor did not influence or edit the content.
