My Very First GIVEAWAY!!!

**Giveaway is now closed.**

I've been working on so many changes to my food blog for this year.  Yet another change would be to do GIVEAWAYS for my awesome followers!

So, for my very first giveaway, I wanted to give one very lucky person something special for Valentine's Day.

Two of my most FAVORITE things to have on Valentine's Day are 1.) Sheffield Sparkling Cider and 2.) Florence's Chocolates!  So those are the two things I'll be sharing with one of you!!

Scheffield Cider makes the absolute BEST sparkling cider I have ever tasted!  The lucky winner gets to choose one of their four varieties: Cherry Cider, Classic Sweet, Harvest Crush, or Vintage Dry.  Check out their website for descriptions and details of each variety.


Florence's Exquisite Candies has some of the most amazing chocolates that may ever enter your mouth!  Everyone on this side of Idaho knows that if you want to give something special, this is what you give.  The lucky winner also gets an 8 oz. box of their choice of assorted creams in milk chocolate, assorted nuts and caramels in milk chocolate, or a combination of both - assorted milk chocolates.  Checkout their website for details on each.

Okay, now for the rules...the winner must:

  • be a follower of ALL THINGS DELICIOUS, 
  • like the ALL THINGS DELICIOUS Facebook page, 
  • live in the 48 contiguous United States, and
  • leave me a comment below telling me your favorite thing to make on Valentine's Day
This giveaway will close on Wednesday, February 1st at 10pm MST.  I want to make sure my winner gets these prizes in time for Valentine's Day!  The winner will be announced the morning of Thursday, February 2nd.

Good luck, everyone!!!

  1. My husband and I dont do much for Valentines Day, usually because we dont have the extra cash. So the past few years I have been trying to make a good dinner with dessert! The kids get soo excited when i make dessert! Last year I made meatloaf, mashed potatoes, mac n cheese, salad, and brownies for dessert! This year I am not sure. But possible one of your recipes. I get tired of eating the same thing so i have tried 3 of your recipes already and have been pleased. And they r affordable to make so bonus!

  3. My absolute favorite thing to make on Valentine's Day is chocolate covered strawberries. My girls get a big kick out of setting the table up, complete with candles and pretty dishes for dinner. Then we celebrate with chocolate covered strawberries for dessert!

  8. I haven't established a tradition yet, but I do love doing a chocolate fondue platter on Valentine's Day with a delicious steak dinner for my husband.

    ReplyDelete
  9. Since we have 4 birthdays to celebrate all around Valentine's day, I try to stay away from making sweets. Instead, I make our traditional seafood medley dinner. Complete with each kiddos' favorite seafood prepared the way they like. =) After all, Valentine's Day isn't just about that romantic night with your husband/wife/partner, it's about family and the ones who love you the most. =)

  10. It's Jacie's fault I'm here so if I win, I'll share with her...maybe.

    I always make pink heart-shaped pancakes on Valentine's Day. I want my kids to know I loved them first and I love them best (for now). They have to start the day out right.

  13. We have a tradition to spend Valentines day with our kids. I make lobster tails,baked potatoes, some type of vegetable, homemade rolls and either heart shaped brownies with choc syrup and vanilla ice cream or cupcakes with pink frosting and fun sprinkles!!

  18. This will be the 2nd Valentine's Day with my boyfriend and while I'll tell you my favorite thing to make is the dessert - I'm thinking cheesecake this year!! - His favorite is the dinner I make! This year I kind of want to try either a sirloin steak or maybe a flank; since we live in So Cal I'll probably be able to grill them! :)

  20. I love making cards and coupons for my boyfriend. Usually he 'cashes' in the 1/2 hr massage very quickly, or the back scratch. Other than that, it is the one day that I don't want to make any food or dessert, that is his day to suprise me !!!!

  24. Heart-shaped sugar cookies with frosting and colored sugar. If I have extra time I like making my own colored sugar - it's finer-textured than the kind you buy, and yum.

  30. how fun! My husband LOVES Florences chocolates and grew up in Rexburg! This summer we met Florence, what a sweet lady! I'd love to give him his favorite thing in the world for Valentine's Day! Your sight is amazing!!

  31. I try to make my hubby something that he loves but doesn't get except maybe twice the whole year and that is Ruby Grapefruit....pretty simple but yummy and lasts days in the frig. Its grapefruit peeled and sectioned like an orange only with no inside skin and then mixed with whole raspberries from our garden and some mashed to make a yummy ruby colored sauce. Very time consuming to make, hence my gift to him. (The kids love it too.)

  32. I love to make a special dinner and dessert. Something that we've had or seen that we'e been wanting to try. It's got to be new and challenging otherwise it's just like a regular day. Then we get in our jammies and watch a cute Valentine's Day movie with the kids.

    So happy that I "stumbled" upon your blog. I have to say I'm a bit envious that you don't make the same thing but once or twice a year. I've been in a rut and don't like to make the same thing over and over. Our kids are very picky and it drives me crazy! We tried the Swiss Chicken and we really liked it. Like you said it was easy because the chicken didn't need to be precooked. Thanks for all you do!

    ReplyDelete
  33. For Valentine's Day, I love to help Aiden make heart-shaped cookies and let him decorate them. Then we go give them out to our friends. Love your blog!

    ReplyDelete
  34. When the kids were little, my favorite thing to make was their school valentines! Customized for their current interests. Now, it's a special dessert we pick out that sounds decadent and delicious.

    ReplyDelete
  37. My husband is the chef in our family. He always makes something delish! Last year was chicken stuffed with mozzarella, spinach, and mushrooms. It was rolled in prosciutto and topped with homemade pesto! Not bad for a man whose a vegetarian!!!

My kids look forward to my gigantic 12 inch heart cookies, either chocolate with pink mint frosting, or sugar cookies to top the day off.

    ReplyDelete
  50. I don't need a whole lot. Don't really need a gift. I just want some good chocolates (read Ghiradelli) and to go out for dinner with the hubby. Somewhere I can dress up a bit. Doesn't have to be too fancy. Chocolates for my chocolate stash and somewhere I can have a nice meal with wine.

    Leading up to that night, I love to make heart shaped cookies or cupcakes with/for the kiddos.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  57. This will be my second Valentines Day with my love, but our first real one. We spent last Valentines Day leaving the hospital after we had a major hip surgery. We spent the day after as our actual Valentines Day and his dad and mom cooked us dinner and then left and went to a movie so we could have some alone time! It was so sweet but I am looking forward to having a nice dinner without him in a wheelchair this year! Happy Valentines Day!

  58. I will try not to rain on everyones parade...lol..I actually broke up with my fiance in August, we had actually gotten engaged on valentines day so it was always a expieramental day for us (at least me in the kitchen).

This year will be with my nieces and will be dinner, dessert and crafts...will definatly be my best valentines ever! Love my nieces and what better way to spend a day of love then with kids who exsude true unconditional love!
