Red Gold Tomatoes Review and Giveaway

I was contacted by Red Gold Tomatoes to do a review of their yummy (I'll get to that) diced tomatoes. I was expected a little something from Red Gold. To my surprise this huge prize pack appeared on my doorstep. The kids and I had so much fun opening the box. I was floored to see this:

I know that the picture is a little small - because there is so much stuff!!!!!

All of the gifts were contained in this super cute. oversized Red Gold Tomato Can - my eldest has already claimed it for Lego storage.

- Inside there were 3 sample cans of tomatoes - Plain, garlic, basil & oregano, and finally with green chili's
- 2 copies of an awesome cookbook "Heartwarming Recipes"
- Reusable shopping bag with the Red Gold Logo
- Magnet
- Magnetic Clip
- A copy of Red Gold Tomatoes Video Library and Media Assets DVD
- A Diecast Van Trailer with the Red Gold Logo
- Recipe Cards with various tomato soup recipes
- Floppy Jar opener

Let me start with a little history of Red Gold Tomatoes. Red Gold is a family owned Indiana based company that started in the 1940's. They grow all of their tomatoes locally in the Midwest (Michigan, Ohio, & Indiana). They don't just stop with canned tomatoes, they also have ketchup, tomato juice, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, stewed tomatoes, chili beans, and so much more.

The tomatoes were so good! I checked out their prices at the grocery store and very reasonable.

For dinner one night I used one of the cans and one of the recipes from the provided cookbook. Everyone was pretty pleased. They loved the taste of dinner. My oldest kept telling me how he loves tomatoes now. That was awesome since we are still struggling with his lack of appetite and he scarfed dinner down like it was going out of style. I made the Tomato Basil Chicken Recipe btw.

WIN IT!! Win an identical replica of the oversized, stuffed full of goodies can I that recieved.
