Swanson On My Mind (Giveaway)

July 23, 2014 by Meghan 40 Comments

The show must go on.

I always wanted to use that phrase. It appeals to my dramatic side and makes me think of Nicole Kidman in Moulin Rouge, which is fitting since today we’re going to be talking about a torrid and tawdry affair between myself and someone other than the Hubby. Gasp. You know what’s even better? At the end of the day or really this post, you’ll be the one reaping the benefits of said scandal. How’s that for deliciously kinky?

Our liaison started off innocently enough, although in a non-traditional fashion, as I met my second paramour online. Then again, online dating seems to be all the rage these days, which I guess sounds better than “I met daddy in a bar. He held my hair when I was sick (cough, cough).” Either way, I first spotted my suitor across a crowded chat room (i.e. Instagram). They were tall, dark, slightly mysterious, and shared my love of healthy foods. I love when people’s values reflect my own. It makes agreeing with myself so much easier.

I still remember exactly what it was that attracted them to me one fateful day a year and a half ago. Like a moth to a flame, their eyes were drawn to my well endowed and shapely….pizza. This one to be exact and with caramelized onions, apples, cheddar and crispy sage in a brown butter sauce, I can’t say that I blame them. Hell, I’d be attracted to me too. It’s possible they were also a fan of my over zealous self-image.  

Apple Pizza with Caramelized Onions, Crispy Sage in Brown Butter and Cheddar

Since that fateful moment years ago, Swanson Health Products and I have become fast friends or the more affectionately known pizza lovahs. ♫ “Secret lovers [pizza lovers] yeah, that’s what we are.” ♫  

I like to consider myself a supportive, albeit slightly shall we say, interesting partner, so I knew I had to be involved with helping Swanson celebrate their 45 year anniversary. What can I say? I like parties, and family owned businesses are ventures I can get behind, in front of, above, and even on all fours. I am pretty flexible. It also didn’t hurt they paid me $45 in cold hard cash or really the equivalent in product. I’m not sure if the involvement of money, or in my case lots and lots of nuts, makes our affair more illicit; I just know I like it.

Swansons Nuts

The best part though is Swanson’s wants to share the wealth with all of you. What can I say? They get around. ♫ Round and round, round we go.”♫  They are offering you the opportunity to enter the Swanson’s Sweepstakes for a chance to earn 45 healthy foods and a $500 shopping spree. Let me tell you, $500 smackaroos can buy you a whole lot of nuts. If you are not as nutty as me, count your lucky stars and rest assured, they sell loads of other products, including more than just what goes in your mouth. Hello, your hair and skin need love too, and Swanson’s got you covered. There’s a reason they’re a great lovah.

In addition to the sweepstakes, they’re also giving you another chance to win a $45 gift card here on my little bloggity blog because they’re awesome and ridiculously generous, and at the end of the day, isn’t that the whole point of this healthy living stuff. Share the wealth, spread the love. I think so, and Swanson does too.

Good Luck and be gentle with my paramour.

    I would love to win this, but then again – who wouldn’t?! I could use some Bob’s Red Mill unsweetened coconut flakes and stocking up on some Justin’a AB. Maybe a few natural beauty treats as well.

    In case you didn’t know I’m the odd girl who likes to learn new vocabular and paramour hadn’t made it into mine yet. Can you believe they don’t teach you that in English class in school over here? No talk of paramours. No talk of healthy living either, though. They miss the important things in life.
    Also, that pizza needs to make its way into my life. Caramelized onions are golden already [literally] but apples on pizza? Genius.
    All the food talk aside I hope you’re doing well. Or as well as you can under the current circumstances. Keeping you in my thoughts.

    Suddenly I have the urge to watch Moulin Rouge and maybe belt some show tunes…. While eating lots and lots of nuts! I just heard about Swanson when this whole 45th anniversary party started but I’ve been drooling over their site with plans to stick up next month!

    I think your pizza looks amazing, and I’m reminded I need to get caramelizing with all the shallots in the garden. I’m tickled with all the love talk, too–and want to hear Obi Wan singing with Nicole Kidman again.

    Now I have 2 songs in my head. I get around from the Beach Boys and ‘Mc Doonald’s, Mc Dooonald’s, Kentucky Fried Chicken and a Pizza Hut….’ – cause I saw that pizza. While singing these, I do the dance with jazz hands.
    I always wonder if these giveaways are worldwide? I once won a huge giveaway and then they told me I am not good enough to receive it cause being Swiss. I cried. (Kidding :-))

    Funny you should bring up meeting in a bar…pretty sure that’s how my parents met. 33 years and going strong!

    For my bonus entry, I did the “Fork in the Garbage Disposal.” If you’re not familiar, I suggest taking a quick trip to YouTube.

    I really wanna buy some plant based protein powder…and sunflower seed butter….and chia and hemp seeds….aaaaaand lots of other stuff that is totally not necessary, but because I am a food blogger, I have been exposed to the thrills and frills of these items. Sometimes I (and my wallet) wish that I didn’t know what a chia seed was.
