I often get spam and occasionally emails from solicitors or companies regarding some of my blog posts. Usually, I delete them. But recently I received an email from
Red Gold / Red Pack tomatoes inviting me to participate in a competition around the The Big Game on Sunday and after some conversations with their PR representative, I thought it would be fun. I will be among several bloggers participating in the Tomato Bowl - an online cook-off. Since the Steelers are headed to the big game next weekend - and I am
obviously a Steeler fan - I will represent the Pittsburgh Steeler market (along with 5 other Pittsburgh bloggers) and this week my blog posts will feature dishes that I've made with Red Gold products. I can post as many times as I want between Monday, January 31 and the game. The more the better, so that we can beat the Green Bay market bloggers. Unfortunately, I won't get paid for doing this (and no, I'm not selling out to advertising just yet), but I
will win a Red Gold tomato package if our market wins. And free canned goods are almost as good as cash, right?
So I need your help - please share any recipe ideas with me that you think would be tasty with which I could use a Red Gold product (diced tomatoes, canned tomatoes, tomato sauce, etc.)
And tomorrow, let the games begin. Oh, and, go Steelers!
Here's one of our go-to family recipes that wins over my family and any guests that may join our table! Could not be easier, and calls for diced tomatoes to boot! Did I mention that it freezes well in case you want to put up a second batch for later?
