Serve from American Express

Feisty Foodie — Sun, 18 Dec 2011 17:15:30 +0000

Everyone experiences this – go out to dinner with friends, the check comes, and people start scrambling for calculators, their wallets and scrounging up bills smaller than a $20. I know it can’t just be my friends and I – it’s hard to always get exact or close, so you wind up with “can you toss in a few bucks for me? I’ll get you next time” and while that usually works out and evens out in the end, maybe you want less uncertainty in this part of your life.

That’s where Serve, a new program from American Express, comes in. Available for Droid and iPhone (and you can use the internet to send money via email – thus my BlackBerry in the above pic, cuz I am not elite in terms of smartphones… anyone want to buy me an Evo or iPhone? Hahaha!), you can instantly send funds to your friend sitting across the table from you. It also comes equipped with a bill calculator – input how many people are eating, and it will even help you calculate tip.

Awesome.

Right now, there’s even a $10 bonus for signing up. You should totally sign up – not just for the $10 but because for the next week, if you comment below, you’re entered to win an extra $100 to be deposited into your account!

Double awesome.

Good luck!

As part of the Foodbuzz Tastemaker Program, I received a $250 stipend to try Serve from American Express. Sign up for Serve and receive $10 credit towards your first use. Comment below within the next 7 days for your chance to win an extra $100 credit to your account!

It’s my birthday week, but you’re getting the presents! Yup – I’m having a giveaway a day this week, so come back every day at 12:15p to check what else you can win. Because life is sweet… but it’s even sweeter when you can share it with people you love!

Today’s giveaway prize? A signed cookbook by none other than THE Bobby Flay. You may know him from the last season of Entourage. No? Hmmm… I don’t know what else he’s done… well, he’s written a cookbook, obviously. Someone help me out here – what’s he done to earn his fame?

The sponsor for this lovely prize is Mohegan Sun, which recently celebrated its 15th anniversary with a fantastic weekend-long party. Fifteen years! You should check out their videos and Facebook albums about this incredible event: weekend wrap video and photos from the Bobby Flay signing.

All you have to do to enter is leave a comment telling me why Bobby Flay is famous besides what I list above. Extra points for creativity, though I will be using Random.org to draw a winner. Hehehe.

Good luck! Winners will be chosen in a week.

Hershey’s Air Delight Giveaway!

Feisty Foodie — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 16:15:27 +0000

A while back, I was invited to a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that included a helicopter ride to and from NJ, to have a tethered hot air balloon ride (look at my photos!), and to celebrate the launch of a new Hershey’s treat: Air Delights, an aerated chocolate treat. It was a fun experience and I really enjoyed the tie-in of hot air balloons and aerated chocolate!

An added bonus: they’re offering one lucky reader a prize pack of a bag of the Air Delight kisses, and four bars of Air Delight! To enter, just leave a comment below (use your real email address) with what excites you about the Air Delight.

Good luck! Winners will be chosen in a week.

Almondina Giveaway!

Feisty Foodie — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 16:15:01 +0000

I briefly mentioned Almondina when I brought over a lot of packages to my friend’s potluck but I didn’t really get into how good these are. I admit, I was a little skeptical – I never really met a biscotti I liked, because they were always so hard that you HAD to dip them into coffee in order to get them to a point where you could bite them. So when I was sent these, I wasn’t too eager to eat them – until one night, I broke open the chocolate cherry flavor and ate one. And then another. And then another and suddenly the whole package was gone. Yes, I ate an entire package in one sitting… oops. They’re super thin, thinner than I’ve ever seen biscotti, and the crack as you bite into one is intense, with a mild chocolate flavor, and the crisp almonds along with the chewy dried cherries (in the chocolate cherry flavor)… just incredible! Addicting. I shared a lot with my friends, but I kept the chocolate cherry ones for myself, as it’s now my favorite cookie to keep around the house. If you can manage to not eat the whole package, they’re actually pretty low-cal (eat just ONE serving, guys) and not bad for you at all. Yum!

Happily, one lucky reader will win an entire case of these cookies – assorted flavors – exactly what I received for my sampling pleasure. All you have to do is “like” Almondina on Facebook, and leave a comment below saying you’ve done so, and what flavor you look forward to trying the most.

Good luck! Winners will be chosen in a week.
