When I got back from my brother’s wedding this weekend I was greeted by this:
I should have put a cat next to this can to show you how big it is. It’s the size of one of those holiday popcorn tins. LARGE!
And it was full of this:
Two recipe books, a tin truck (that my brother’s baby is going to love!), two magnets, a soup recipe fold out, a coaster, a refrigerator clip magnet, and a media kit CD about how Red Gold Tomatoes are all grown in the Midwest and started as a family owned business.
And, of course, some regular sized cans of tomatoes.
Right away I whipped up a version of my Veggie Pasta Recipe with the Basil, Oregano, Garlic Red Gold Tomatoes, and it was seriously excellent. I didn’t even season the pasta sauce! It was all in the tomatoes already.
My only complaint, if I get to complain about any aspect of a huge tomato can of free goodies, is with the recipe book. While all the recipes look very easy and use few ingredients and look like they come together very fast and are all pretty healthy, there are only a few vegetarian options. I will be changing them up to make them vegetarian friendly in the future, for sure, but I’d like to give that heads up!
And so, without further ado, the kind people at Red Gold Tomatoes have TWO of these gift cans to give out to my readers! Holla!
Leave a comment to enter! Tweet this giveaway, citing @sweatshopoflove in your tweet, for another entry.
That huge tomato can is already full of yarn, safe away from my kitties, and my tea cup is resting on a tomato coaster right now! And yours can, too. You’ve got until the evening of Sunday, March 14th to enter. I’ll announce the winners Monday morning!
Good luck!





















OMG. I must have that large tomato can tin!

I need a giant tin to house my yarn since I had to buy 13 skeins to make that vesty-cowly-tunicy thing. Also, my nephews would like the truck.
