Quick: Marx Foods is giving away a flight of finishing salts in a contest on their blog. They’re announcing the winner on Monday, December 8th, so go enter now. (It’s not clear when they stop accepting entries.)
The lucky winner receives Ritrovo’s Artisan Salts Collection, which includes mixes such as Truffle & Salt and Sweet & Salt with Italian sea salt as a base. It’s a $120 value, so probably not something you’d buy for yourself even as a treat. Wouldn’t it be nice to get it for free?
I debated keeping this contest to myself so I’d have a better chance of winning, but it would be fun to have a Chick in the Kitchen reader win, too!
The winner of the Healthy Habits Plate contest is Ranee at Arabian Knits! Ranee’s family eats Thanksgiving dinner at 6 — that’s late compared to most readers who commented. Seems most of you, like my family, start eating in the afternoon (we’ll have people arrive around 3, and sit down to eat around 4). Congrats, Ranee!
I came across Amy’s blog at Super Healthy Kids a while ago, and bookmarked it because I thought the Healthy Habits Plate she created was cute. It’s a straightforward, visual way to show kids how to fill their plates half-full with fruits and vegetables, a quarter-full with protein, and the last quarter with carbs.
Amy has generously offered to send one Chick in the Kitchen reader a plate for free! Just leave a comment on this entry by Tuesday, November 18 at 8 PM EST telling me what time your family generally eats Thanksgiving dinner — is it early in the afternoon, mid-day, or a late evening meal? I’ll randomly choose a comment to receive the Healthy Habits Plate. Please only comment once. Good luck!

Sweet Potato and Gruyère Turnovers: These easy pockets (using pre-made, refrigerated dough) sound delicious to me, and even include swiss chard -- something I always seem to have in my fridge from our CSA.
Cook to This
"Kids" by MGMT. Truly bizarre video, but a song that always perks my ears up when I hear it on the radio. They're a 21st century update of synth-pop bands I loved in the late 80s/early 90s (hello, New Order).
