I told you guys that a few weeks ago I spent a few days in Ohio.
Remember?
Well, I was invited out by the nice people at Smucker’s. They had a fun few days planned for about 20 bloggers.
We got to snoop around the place, meet the Smucker’s executives, and learn all sorts of cool things about the Smucker’s brand…like hello, they own Pillsbury Baking, Hungry Jack, Crisco, Eagle Brand, Folgers, Dunkin’ Donuts Coffee and Jif to name a few. We even were allowed to play in their test kitchens…and got to make fancy coffee, ice cream and pie.
I met some super cute and sweet ladies…here’s Kate, Leslie and Shaina.
We got to go shopping at the adorable Smucker’s store…
and then I posed with the Pillsbury Dough Boy like the big old dork that I am…oh yes I did.
Everyone that worked for or with the Smucker’s organization were completely lovely and gracious. I really had an amazing time while I was there.
Oh you had me at Jelly!! Looks like a fabulous place and lots of fun. I am making alot of homemade candy right now (practicing for Christmas giftgiving) its alot of fun actually but its alot of work! Really getting into this whole cooking thing. Usually I just love to cook, not necessarily bake or make candy but now I am getting into it all since I wondered upon your site as well as confessions of a cookbook queen. I am so inspired by your blogs. Thanks for sharing and the cahnce to win!!
Love, love, love Smuckers! That basket is fab and the picture with Pillsbury Doughboy is the cutest!
That is one incredible giveaway! Also, I would totally pose with the dough boy as well.
I think your pic with the doughboy is cute!
Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Wow! What a beautiful gift basket. I love your blog and I pretty much try every recipe you post! Never had one fail me yet! My favorite, so far, is the Pumpkin Dump Cake. I will be making it for the second time on Thanksgiving!
Looks like a really fun trip!
I’d love to enter the contest, but I live in Canada. 🙁
I would have posed with the Dough-Boy, too — no dorkiness in that!
Looks like a great prize – thanks for hosting the contest!
Sounds like a fun trip! I live near the sister (brother?) site where they make Jif peanut butter. Talk about an aroma! Thanks for the chance to win this cool basket!
I thought you look cute with the dough boy.
