What would you do if you had access to one free pie a month for an entire year? Would you host more dinner parties? Provide the dessert for the upcoming Thanksgiving dinner? Pass off a Marie Callender pie for one of your own at a potluck?
Regardless of what the winners choose to do with their 12 Marie Callender’s pies that are the prizes in this week’s Gourmet Giveaway, they’ll be eating a lot more delicious pie!
Take some stress off yourself this holiday season by serving Marie Callender’s pies, which are packed with flavor and enveloped in a flaky lattice crust. Or, if you prefer your own homemade fillings, save some time by using Marie Callender’s Deep Dish Pie Shells for the crust, which come in a heavy gauge baker’s pie pan for better baking.
Whether you choose to redeem your prize as one pie a month, one every few weeks or all 12 at once for a pie-eating contest, this week’s Gourmet Giveaway prize will deliver more than 100 sweet slices.

Four winners will each receive 12 certificates valid for one complimentary fruit pie, cream pie, pie shell or 2-pound cobbler from supermarkets nationwide. Select a complete pie or just the pie crust to make an “almost homemade” pie without having to fuss with the crust. Approximate Retail Value: $90.00.
- To enter this Gourmet Giveaway: See THE NIBBLE’S Gourmet Pies & Pastry Section section and click on the link at the bottom of the page. Enter your email address for the prize drawing by Monday, November 23th at noon Eastern Time. Good luck!

| A pinch of brown sugar is a delightful garnish on top of yogurt, fruit salad, cereal, pancakes, sweet potatoes, ice cream and much more. But it has a tendency to lose moisture and solidify into a hard brick.
When brown sugar gets hard, put it into a microwave-safe container and zap it for 60 seconds. The old-fashioned method, placing a slice of fresh apple into the sugar canister, still works; but it takes overnight or longer for the moisture from the apple to absorb into the sugar.
- Learn about the different types of brown sugar—and other sugars and syrups—in our Sugar Glossary.

Every day is a different official food holiday. We’ve compiled all the food holidays here, and keep adding to them weekly as we receive notice of new holidays. It’s a great reference article.
If you’d like to get the daily food holidays via Twitter, along with a link to a relevant tidbit, article or recipe, sign up for Twitter.com/TheNibble.
We post other items to Twitter that we don’t post to the blog (and vice versa), although we do post our articles to both.
We look forward to tweeting with you! |
