Giveaways

It’s that time of year, with the holidays here it’s time for families to gather around the table and enjoy meals together. This year our family has had quite the year so the holidays are a time for us to all get together and create good memories. Often when families gather around the table there is chaos, and food but do we think about the traditions we pass along to our family.

Libby’s wants to bring families together this holiday season by gathering around the table. Libby’s has been bringing families together and wants to inspire families to create easy simple meals while keeping tradition.With Libby’s Get Back To The Table there’s a number of recipes to make the traditional veggies a little less boring and other ideas to inspire your family to spend more time at the table.

Since Libby’s sent our family a number of goodies they want to give some to your family too. One winner will receive an assortment of Libby’s products and a Williams-Sonoma Winter Toile Platter.
