I’m so excited to tell you that the winner of our Calphalon Skillet Giveaway is Erin Friedman in sunny California!!! Your beautiful non-stick skillet is on its way to you right now and I know you’re just going to LOVE it. I love mine, and the fact that clean up is a breeze because it’s dishwasher safe is an added bonus! And the non- stick surface is so good, you can use way less oil or butter in cooking.

Here is Erin’s comment:

Our chickens are going all-out lately, so it’s (once again) Eggs for Dinner. I sauté mushrooms, onions, peppers and spinach in a little olive oil and butter until soft and wonderful. Crack a couple eggs on top and cover until the eggs are set. Easy and delicious. And cheap.

Doesn’t that sound delicious? We wish Erin lots of good use with this skillet. Make many happy meals in it and remember, to always cook with LOVE and your food will definitely taste better!

In all the comments, we had lots of great dishes mentioned that people love to cook in skillets. We numbered all of them and tossed them in a hat for a random drawing, and Erin was the lucky winner. Congratulations Erin and thank you all for entering and sharing your favorites!!!

We are at Crystal Lake, Vermont right now at my brother’s house enjoying a little R & R with great food, wine and company. Meet my waking companion today, Otis, a beautiful Bernese Mountain dog who is the sweetest thing! We walked/ran to Pageant Park and back, which is 2.4 miles up and down a mountain and at one point he decided he needed a rest and just stopped and laid down in the path. A dog after my own heart!

Stay tuned for the best gazpacho recipe coming up – a perfect way to use all the tomatoes coming in to the farmers market stands right now!
