Holiday Eats, Drinks, Merriment, and Udi’s Love!

As you’ve probably seen if you follow me on Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook I’ve been participating in Udi’s #EatDrinkBeMerry event this holiday season and I hope you have or will too! In exchange for spreading word of their colossally awesome giveaway, and sharing some of my own favorite Eats, Drinks, and Merriments, I was sent an equally wonderful set of their new and favorite products. Here’s just a peak at the freezeable portion of their generosity:

The packaged were so brimming with product that my pantry and freezer couldn’t even fit all the goodies, so needless to say there’s been much consuming of this goodness. My favorite product so far? Their NEW Bean and Green Chili Burrito. It was the perfect balance of cheesy goodness and starchy fullness, with a great subtle spicy taste to boot. I am MOST excited about trying their French Baguettes. I haven’t had a huge loaf like that since going gluten free almost 5 years ago. I used to absolutely love those huge garlic and mozzarella bread baguette loaves you could buy prepackaged at the store, so I see an Italian night with garlic bread in my future.

So, how could you win big from Udi’s? It’s simple: Just share your favorite Eats, Drinks, or Merriments with them via their contest entry form. You could also share your favorites with the hashtag #EatDrinkBeMerry via twitter or instagram. Here’s some examples of how I’ve been using the hastag to share my favorites.

Favorite Eats: Chocolate Bark. It’s so versatile, and easy to make! It also reminds me of my childhood, the second apartment I lived in with my husband, and my brother Tom who passed away suddenly last christmas Eve. I’ve been making huge patches this year of various barks.

Favorite Drinks: Apple Cider. I love it mulled, spiked, sparkling, hard, and regular. I even add ice cream to it AND bake with it. It’s an all around wonderful drink.

Favorite Merriments: I didn’t share this one on instagram but the thing that makes me happiest during the holiday seasons is long standing traditions with friends and family. For 12 years I’ve been meeting with my high school friends the day after Thanksgiving, so that’s a big tradition that I adore.

How about you? What are your favorite ways to celebrate the holiday season with food, drink, or merriment? I’d love to hear, and Udi’s will give you the chance to win over 600 prizes (including 100 packs of goodies similar to the one I received) if you share with them as well. So, #EatDrinkBeMerry and Happy Holidays!
