Update on 9/1 : The WINNER of the giveaway was Karine. Thanks to everyone for entering and happy fall to all!
Summer is definitely my favorite season. I’m a warm weather girl who loves long beach days, lots of pool time and BBQs, but I have to admit that I welcome fall with open arms and oven mitts. With fall comes a renewed vigor for cooking; it means autumn recipes, apple picking and Sunday football. While many people like the cooler weather, the changing of the leaves, or are just ready for a wardrobe switch, I (like many other foodies) look forward to the opportunity to transition to fall recipes – whether it’s simmering soups for hours on a Sunday or making warm and hearty dips for football guests on Sundays.
To celebrate the new season coming soon, I’m co-hosting a giveaway with CSN Stores to give you a chance to get some new fall dinnerware or platters for football entertaining with a $40 gift certificate to use on one of their many sites. CSN Stores‘ sites offer up an unparalleled selection of online shopping in many categories including everything from cookware to travel gear and feature many of the top brands in home and office goods like Rachael Ray, Serta and Calphalon.
Here’s an idea of the range of what CSN Stores have to offer and what you can apply your gift certificate to to get ready for fall and football:
Wincraft NFL Snack Helmut , a Vitaclay Smart Multicooker or a Le Creuset Stoneware Serving Bowl
How to enter? It’s easy! All you need to do is one of the following:
- Post on Cooking with Coley’s Facebook page what you would buy with the gift card
- Comment on this post telling me what you like about fall
- Follow me on Twitter (@nicolelawler), and retweet one of my Tweets re: this giveaway
You can enter more than once, if you do a combination of any or all of the above (maximum of 3 entries per person).
To reiterate – the $40 gift certificate can be used at ANY of the CSN stores.
Other things to note: The contest only applies to U.S. and Canada residents. While all shipping is free from CSN Stores, shipping charges or international fees may apply outside of the United States.
The contest ends at 5pm EST on August 31.
Time to go brush up on football knowledge for my upcoming fantasy draft. Go Pats!
Living in Miami we really don’t get to expereince the seasons…it’s hot all the time.
Best of luck with your giveaway!

I love the coolness of fall, specially when Boston has had a warm summer. I love the changing of the leaves and watching the city trees change and lose their leaves. How can you not love everything about fall when you live in New England?
Autumn…my favourite season of all….pumpkins and lots of nuts are in harvest…just marvelous.
