I am so pleased with my roasted Chicken! Wee!
I sprinkled it with parsley and rosemary with a little evoo.
For my sides I roasted sweet potatoes and purple potatoes with pink grapefruit juice and curry, lightly sprayed with evoo also. Steamed spinach and...you guessed it...cheese!
I get too hungry for dinner at 8!
I am SOOO excited to say the cool folks over at Pfaltzgraff are offering to GIVEAWAY five of the spice racks that I blogged about earlier today!! What a great start to the new year--spice up your cooking.
I know that over the last week, it has been SO easy to add more spice to what I am making when, with the turn of the base, you can have a 1/4 Tsp. measured out!
The spice rack they sent is a Kamenstein 16 jar spice rack that revolves. It is made from durable hard plastic and each bottle has an opening at the top to shake or pour. It comes with 16 spices, but you can substitute your own.

Hmmm... my favorite spice to cook with is probably cardamom. I put it in my curries, my risottos, my baked goods, even my coffee. When I was living in Europe I fell in love with Indian food, and the smell of cardamom makes me so happy to this day!
Okay, so is this how it works? Comment again?
Alright! So, the other product at Pfaltzgraff is the Vintage Floral Cake Stand...So pretty! I can just imagine some cute little tartlets served up on it.
PS- I'm a follower! I love reading about your workouts, I'm working on becoming a runner myself. Daunting, but worth it I think.
Yay-another contest and great giveaway!
My favorite spice is cinnamon. It's high in antioxidants, and we all know it's delish, too! But I am adventurous with spices and try pretty much all of them...currently playing with cardamom pods.
I <3 Pfaltzgraff! All the ladies in my family have Pfz dishes. My patterns include Filigree, Winterberry, and Grand Hotel (alas, a discontinued pattern). Oh and seven plates from the "design your own" series (also now discontinued). Pfz is a bit of an obsession, actually.
Thanks for the blog, Mary!

My favorite spice to cook with is Thyme. I used it for the Thanksgiving gravy, and sprinkled it in some fantastic Portobella Mushroom & Potato Soup this weekend.
From the Pfaltzgraff site, I like the Napoli Soup Tureen. My Portobello Mushroom & Potato Soup would look great in it!
I don't have one favorite spice - it truly depends on what Im cooking. I have had so much fun trying unexpected additions to dishes to change their flavors up (sage, curry powders, nutmeg. ginger, the list goes on!)
I love the Pfaltzgraff site :) I may be coveting the Pistoulet patterned pieces just a little
I've also been eying the small grater with attachable tray and the apple sectioner for awhile now. I need to stop putting it off and just get them both already ;-)
I'm already a follower (and RSS Feed reader)
I don't use Twitter, but I do Plurk so I posted it over there you can see it here
My fave spice is a mix -- herbes de provence. I can toss some on chicken and bake it and it tastes like I toiled for hours.
And I love the green prep bowls with covers -- I might have to order some of those.
My favorite spice would have to be basil. I've always joked - "What do you call too much basil? PESTO!" I just love it & grow copious amounts in the summer.
I would have to pick the easy-clean stainless steel thermal travel mug from their site - I love that it's designed for the dishwasher! Thanks for the contest, I'm off to get more entries! :)
I've added you to my Bloglines!
Just tweeted it!
Oh phooey, I meant to put my stainless-steel-easy-clean-thermal-travel-mug product wish into another comment. Here it is, see the earlier one for why I love it! LOL!
And I just put a link on my blog! Yay! fingers crossed. :)
Cinnamon chicken, and cinnamon rolls,
Cinnamon really curls my toes.
I love to cook with it as much as I can,
In the kettle, or in the pan,
it makes the best Dapper Dan.
Cinnamon has been around since Biblical times,
It's really good sprinkled on Limes,
It goes in my coffee when the old clock chimes,
I have consumed cinnamon many times,
It is the best best spice all around,
No better spice can ever be found!!
Linking back to the contest tomorrow!
favorite spice? ooohhh - tricky! I love all spices but would love to learn how to cook with other spices!
As far as something else from the Pfaltzgraff website, I would love to get the Kamenstein® Fruit Basket and Banana Hanger and for that price, I just may add to my shopping cart!
AND finally, linking back tomorrow!
Hi! I love curries, plus one can never have too many spices! I also love spice cake, so that takes in LOTS of spices - cinnamon, ginger, nutmet...
I also love the International® Silver Satin Danford Flatware Set, 20 Pc
I'm always short on spoons. I have no idea why, but I am.
I'm a follower of your blog.
What a difficult decision! My favorite spice to cook with is probably garlic, because I like that it gives off enough flavor to reduce the need for salt. And I adore Pfaltzgraff's tea rose completer set - the flowers make for a feminine touch without being too overpowering. Also, consider me a brand-new follower! :)
FYI - just left you some love on Twitter!! Great contest - thanks so much for the opportunity! (I'm @katywrites).
I LOVE cayenne~ or cinnamon!!!
junghwa-chung@hotmail.com
wow, i really love all their different designs of plates. esp winterberry!

My favorite spice to cook with is cumin. I use it in chicken chili, regular chili, and curry, obviously. I've had the Pfaltzgraff Aura pattern since I got married 16 years ago. I think their fresh fruit utensil kit is a clever, healthy tool for the kitchen.
oh wow, that looks like a nifty spice rack! As for Pfaltz, i think I'd smile every time I saw the Crafty Snowman Cookie Jar in my kitchen. :)
I've just followed your blog, and just tweeted, and just posted on my blog!
My favorite spice to cook with is garlic powder. It's a staple in almost everything I make... from garlic chicken, to chili, to a savory cranberry stuffing I can't think of anything I don't put it in. Maybe I'll start calling it "GP" like Rachel Ray says "EVOO". :)
I checked out the site and I LOVE the Evening Sun Dinnerware collection! My hubby would hate it, but I love it. http://www.pfaltzgraff.com/Evening-Sun/EVSUN,default,sc.html

From the Pfeltzgraft site, I like the grater.
I love the combo of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Smells like apple pie!!

I love cooking with garlic, hands down, is that a "spice"?? haha
Thanks!
Maggie M.

Their Pistoulet is so cute. I love all of the patterns mixed into one :)
I love the Villa de Luna Moon Platter from Pfaltzgraff.
It is so hard to just pick one spice but I would say cinnamon. I always love reading interviews with famous chefs when they ask "what 5 spices can you not live without?".
I like dill it is so good in dips and on pasta. I also like garlic but I'm not sure it is a spice.
I like the Snowman Sculpted Salt & Pepper Set

Favorite Spice ~ Garlic
We are in desperate need of more forks so some flatware would be great. I like the Evening Sun pattern. Everything at Pfaltzgraff would be helpful. We were flooded last year and lost most of our stuff so we are pieces things back together.
Without a doubt, garlic is my favorite spice. I love all things garlic!!!
Funny story - I don't have a sense of smell so I often forget about the smells that certain things give off. Well I love garlic so one night after work I took a jar of pickled garlic cloves out of the fridge and proceeded to eat clove after clove. It never even crossed my mind that later on the smell of garlic would be pouring out of my pores. A little later in the evening my husband came home and the second he walked in the door he said, "OH MY GOD!". I thought something was wrong so I went running to see what was the matter. I asked him what was wrong and he said, "Honey - let me just say that we aren't going to have to worry about any vampires getting us!!!" :-) He said I smelled like garlic for the next three days. Oops!
