Zwilling J.A. Henckels Rocking Santoku Knife

Zwilling J.A. Henckels, thank you for providing this awesome Rocking Santoku Knife. It’s fantastic for cutting veggies and meat and making prep work easy. The little hollows in the blade are awesome for preventing starchy veggies from sticking to the blade. I also love how comfortablly the Zwilling J.A. Henckels Pro line knives fit in my hands. I have a drawer full of pro line knives, and this is one of my favorites!

Thermoworks Thermapen MK4

thermapen

Did you know that many chefs walk around with a thermometer in their pocket? It’s true. And guess which one they use— it’s the Thermapen. With near-instant readings, a sleek design, and a splash proof cover, the Thermapen MK4 is the industry standard. If you ask me the two tools you need to become a better cook, one would be a great knife and the other would be a trusted thermometer! I’d love for you to win this one!

$50 Amazon Gift Card
Well, this one probably doesn’t need much explanation! I hope you’ll spend it on some awesome cooking stuff for you or someone you love.

The New York Times calls this one of the best baking books of 2016! Irvin Lin is my blogger BFF, but that’s not why I love this book. Irvin is a master of building flavor in his beautiful desserts. Though this book isn’t gluten free, he includes tips for baking GF and his own personal flour blend. There are so many recipes I’m dying to try. First on my list is the Chocolate, caramel tart with rosemary and potato chip crust. YUM!

Gluten Free Bread Machine Book

hannon Kinsella and Jane Bonnacci are two of my favorite women in the world. I have cooked alongside both of them- sometimes for up to 150 people! When I heard they were working on a cookbook together, I was ecstatic. The book is filled with gluten free bread machine recipes. My favorite is the fruit and nut bread. You don’t want to miss this one.

Happy Holidays from The Tomato Tart

Good Luck on the Giveaway!
I hope you have a beautiful holiday season filled with joy, love, laughter, and deliciousness.

  1. My favorite thing about gift giving is trying to come up with something unique every year. I am a little eclectic so I strive to get something for others that they wouldn’t buy for themselves and something very few other people would think of. 🙂 One year for my daughter and daughter in law I started right after Christmas and gathered a box of decorations for holidays all year long. When they got their box every thing was wrapped by the month and I told them that if they really wanted the surprise to open them at the first of each month instead of at Christmas. They loved the idea and enjoyed using the different decorations all year long. <3

  4. My favorite thing about holiday gift giving is when I have the time to make something for someone special! This year I made two queen quilts and can’t wait to give them to my family members!

  7. My favorite thing? Seeing the happiness on someone’s face when they open the present I picked out. Especially now that I have nieces and a nephew. I love hearing the squeals of excitement when they open their presents.

  9. I love seeing the Joy on people’s faces when they receive a gift they truly want or need. My grandmother-in-law has Parkinson’s disease so I make her a TON of freezer meals for birthdays and Christmas because it’s hard for her to cook and these can be made easily in their Crock Pot. The first time I gave her a box of meals, she was so happy she started crying. To me, that’s what giving is all about – making people feel loved and appreciated. I only wish I could afford to make more!

  10. I love coming up with gifts that I know other people will love and then seeing the look on their face when they open it because it wasn’t something they had asked for but something I knew they would enjoy!

  12. My favorite thing about holiday gift giving is coming up with things that I know will delight and surprise my daughter – things she never asked for specifically but that tell her I know who she is and what she wants.

  13. I love being able to give someone something that they wouldnt buy themselves, and watching them be happy

  15. I like the feeling that I get when I someone gives me something from the heart, and I hope they get the same feeling when I do.

  18. I love giving gifts that I make myself, as it is both fun for me and hopefully valuable for the recipient as well!

  31. I love spending time with my family. I also enjoy giving my mom gifts that she normally wouldn’t buy for herself and surprising her with them.

  33. I love finding fun and unique things for people.
    But my favorite gift giving at the holidays is my family’s white elephant gift exchange. Since I’m on of 8 siblings, we’ve been doing the exchange for the adults in the family for years now. It always ends up being hilarious since each gift gets a “two steal” rule.

  34. I love when I’m as excited to give the gift as they will be to get it.

    I shop all year round and squirrel away gifts. So when I have seemingly casual conversations throughout the year and someone mentions how they love chamomile tea or Culture Club or whatever random thing…I’m actually gathering intel. And when I find a gift of that random thing they mentioned…And they are shocked I remembered. I LOVE that.

  35. My favorite thing about gift giving is making someone cry tears of joy, or dance around the room because they are so excited.

  36. My favorite thing about holiday gift giving is the delight on a child’s face when you give them the perfect present.

  37. Watching my nieces and nephews’ joy, surprise and delight as they open their gifts. We focus on the kids for our gift giving and it is so rewarding.

  38. As others have said, finding a treasure (gift) maybe at a store you wouldn’t normally shop for gifts. Seeing something that reminds you of a certain person, knowing the smile they will get opening your gift.

  41. My favorite thing about holiday gifting is the expression on the people’s faces when they open their gifts and you can tell you really touched their heart and/or when they are so excited that their smiles are so genuine with amazement. 🙂

  46. My favorite thing about gift giving during the holidays is the fun in it all. I love the happiness of my family and loved ones and I love seeing everyone so happy!

  49. I love finding a really thoughtful, yet unexpected gift. It’s great to see someone’s face light up and for them to know they are loved.

  51. For Christmas I think more about the kids for gift giving. I love seeing their expressions when opening and seeing stuff they really wanted
