Review & Giveaway : Spoonful of Comfort
GIVEAWAY CLOSED!
The key to anyone’s heart (not just a man) is food. We seek comfort and nourishment in food and it’s so much fun to “break bread” with our friends and family. I had a chance to share with my family a huge jar of delicious chicken soup courtesy of a little company in Florida called A Spoonful of Comfort. It came in a box right to my door complete with dinner rolls and it came at a great time since I am in the early stages of pregnancy and I just don’t have the energy to cook!
A Spoonful of Comfort was begun back in 2007 by Marti Bowes Wymer when she was losing her dear mother to cancer. She wanted to send something – but just couldn’t find the right “something” to send. The idea of sending chicken soup – something that everyone from an ailing friend or family member to a homesick college student could find comfort in – was born.
A jar of homemade chicken soup from A Spoonful of Comfort is the perfect gift when you just don’t know what to send. It is also such a thoughtful and unique gift, it’s bound to send a little sunshine to those receiving it.
BUY IT : You can purchase your own homemade jar of chicken soup from the A Spoonful of Comfort website! You can even choose to include homemade dinner rolls or homemade oatmeal raisin cookies with your order.
WIN IT : We’re giving away a 64oz jar of chicken soup to TWO lucky readers, thanks to the generosity of our sponsor, A Spoonful of Comfort. Check out below how you can enter for a chance to win:
