[donotprint]So there’s this little item out there that you may have heard about

Yes, that little item — the iPad.

I am fully okay with admitting that I really really really want one.  I saw Lori, A Cowboy’s Wife, playing with hers while we were on a trip this past summer, and I have to admit it made me develop full blown iPad envy.

Even though I don’t have an iPad (sniff sniff)  I’m super excited to announce  that I’ve partnered with Kraft Foods to give away an iPad and a download of their amazing Big Fork Little Fork App.

‘Tis the Season and All

How gorgeous and awesome does that screen shot look?  I want to dive right in and start playing with it, moving things around, searching recipes, watching videos, playing games… alas.. I do not have an iPad.  But, one of you is going to win one!

Here’s the deal, Kraft Foods has teamed up with Super Chef Marcus Samuellson to create a special recipe collection JUST for their Big Fork Little Fork iPad App

This special collection (which is in addition to the already amazing virtual cookbook that is Big Fork Little Fork) contains globally-inspired recipes, how-to videos and a ton of tips and tricks from Marcus himself to show just how easy it is to get everyone involved in creating meals together. The new content is really designed to bring both parents and children in the kitchen to make cooking a family affair (and a fun one at that!)  The app is a virtual cookbook, complete with HOW TO VIDEOS! (color me jealous) educational games for the kids, GORGEOUS photos and more.

Check out this screen shot of one of Marcus’ recipes:  Red Grits

Gorgeous, right?

His recipes also include special tips and tricks FROM Marcus himself!

Like these for his Red Grits recipe:

• This side dish is a great alternative to rice and pasta, and particularly good served with shrimp,as they do in the Low Country of South Carolina and other regions of the American South.
• Washing Fresh Herbs: Always wash fresh herbs before use. Rinse small bunches under cold running water and blot dry. When you need to clean a large amount of herbs, fill a large bowl or clean sink with cold water and swish the herbs around to remove any dirt. Remove the herbs from the water and dry in a salad spinner or gently blot dry.
• Nutrition Bonus: The combination of tomatoes and tomato juice not only adds color and flavor to the grits, but it also provides a good source of both vitamin A and vitamin C.

as a special bonus, you know, because EVERYONE can’t win the iPad.. y’all all get Marcus’ Red Grits Recipe[/donotprint]
