Contest is now closed! Winners will be announced soon…
My newsletter readers know what today is! My Birthday Giveaway! My birthday is this Sunday and I have decided to enjoy it in the hobbit tradition by holding some fun giveaways for my readers as a thank you for all your support, comments and friendship!
Giveaway #1: Open to non-Canadians only
Yes, you may be shocked to read this but I am finally able to host a giveaway outside of Canada! That is because I am mailing it myself!
Here we have a stainless steel cookie tree kit that comes with 10 star cookie cutters! This way you can build your own cookie tree for Christmas next year or make giant star cookies for birthdays throughout the year. I find star-shaped cookie cutters quite difficult to find so letting go of this set by President’s Choice isn’t easy but I know it will go to a good home. Scroll down to see how to enter…
Giveaway #2: Open to Canadians
The Can-con of my birthday giveaway is this stunning cutting board compliments of Tre Stelle, complete with a set of beautiful tools. High quality and very elegant, I love my set!
Giveaway #3: Open to Canadians
There will be five winners of three coupons for Dempster’s Thin Bagels, $5 off Tre Stelle cheese and Sun-Maid Raisin Bread. Since they are only valid in Canada, only Canadians can enter this contest.
HOW TO ENTER!
- In the comments state where you are living: “I am in Canada/America/Latvia…” You get the idea.
- If you had one wish for my blog (particular changes, good luck, prosperity) what would it be? (optional)
- Be a follower of my blog if you can. The more followers I have, the more giveaways I can do.
- If you do not have an email address associated with your profile, please leave either an email address or the URL to your Facebook page so I have some way of contacting you.
For example, above is my profile. See how under “Contact me” it says email? If your profile page does not have this and you do not leave contact info, you will not be entered. That goes for everyone. It is just too hard for me otherwise. Last giveaway I had to remove 50% of the entries which sucks so please, leave contact info at the very least!
Contest is open all weekend. Winner will be announced Monday January 23, 2012.
Birthday Celebration
I am still undecided about where to go out for my birthday this year. Let me know if you have any suggestions! I have already gone to: Five Fishermen, Salty’s, Wooden Monkey, Chives, The Bicycle Thief, Hamachi Steakhouse, Inn on the Lake, The Keg… Let me know if there are any gems I have left out.
Thanks and good luck everyone!

Cheers!
Happy Birthday Suzie!!! xoxo
I am in Canada, and I hope you have a fantastic birthday wherever your inner foodie takes you!
Always loving your photos on your blog! If I could change 1 thing about the blog, it would be the labels and search function.
I was searching for a review you did about coffee, and perhaps I’m missing it in the ‘labels’, but I could not for the life of me find it, or a thing to select ‘coffee’ to narrow search. So maybe a bit of a clean up in that area on the blog? 🙂
Hugs Suzie! Enjoy your special day!
Laura [email protected] or [email protected] 🙂

Hey Suz! Happy Birthday!
I’m in Canada…wheeeee….lots of snow today, supposed to stop soon though!
My wish for you/your blog is that your health is better this year and that you are more able to do the foodie things that you love! (I know how it feels to have fibro and deal with other illnesses on top of it and try to do all I want to do in the kitchen and sometimes its just downright impossible….)
As for somewhere for your birthday dinner, if you guys were willing to venture out of the city there’s an awesome restaurant in Windsor called Cocoa Pesto Bistro (http://www.cocoapesto.com/content/view/17/18/), they have some awesome food, its where I went for my last birthday! And it’s only about 30 mins from Bedford (for an idea of distance if you’re not 100%)
Happy Birthday Suzie!!!!
I’m am Canadian (now why do I feel like a beer??)
I wish you only good health -don’t change a thing about your blog.
I’m a blog follower, too!
Hi
Hope that you have a wonderful birthday. It is my mother’s birthday as well.
I am in the US and it is snowing so much so that we have delayed the birthday celebration to another day for my mother.
HAve a great day

Happy Birthday Suzie!
I’m from Canada and I have been following your blog for a while. My wish for you is good health and to have fun with a foodie disaster as much as a foodie success. One of your posts that makes me giggle the most is “The Blueberry Pie from hell”.The way you wrote it was just too cute:)
I am in Canada :). Oh I love the Tre Stelle Set and the freebie coupons.I love to one day try out the sun maid raisin bread.Also, Its cool that your able to do a giveaway for everyone outside of Canada.
Anyways,My wish for your blog is to be offered lots and lots of products to review this year.Your great at it and I learn so much from it.
You already know I’m a follower and here my e-mail.

Daudz laimes! I live in the USA (yay! I’m loving those stars!) I found you via Facebook from one of my Latvian friends–you’re certainly making the rounds down here. My wish for you is no more pneumonia, and I hope you find time to make more Latvian fare–always makes me smile. (by the way– I probably have another piragi recipe for you, if you don’t have enough already…)
Visu labu,
Andra

Happy birthday, Suzie!!!
I really enjoy your blog, and I especially appreciate the gorgeous step-by-step photos of each recipe you try. I enjoy reading about your “failures” as well as your successes. (Don’t we learn more from our failures than from our successes? So that means they aren’t REALLY failures, right?)
My greatest wish for you would be for a drastic improvement in your health! I know that it’s no fun to be in pain all the time; it saps one’s energy, and can be so discouraging.
Keep up the good work, and thanks for the give-aways! I’m in Canada. ;-D
