“We be Burnin…”

Nothing warms up a snowy Boston winter night faster than a Snuggie, back-to-back episodes of Jersey Shore, and a large bowl of hot soup. So imagine my excitement when I saw a large box filled with 15 different varieties of Progresso soup and a super cute soup mug waiting at my door the other night! I thanked my lucky stars (and my mailman who had to lug the weighty package to my door) that a satisfying and diet friendly dinner would be guaranteed for the next week.

Progresso soups are filled with hearty ingredients like pasta, beans, corn and rice – which is great for curbing hunger (as I just started my annual lose-the-5 lbs-post-holidays-weightgain diet) – while being surprising low calorie (80-100 calories a serving). Plus it only takes 2-4 minutes to heat up – which is less time than a commercial break on MTV!

*******Giveaway #1 - Makeover Trip to NYC *********

(Not finance foodie sponsored: enter at Progresso's site)

Just because the holidays are over, doesn’t mean the gifting has to stop! From now through March 15, you can visit www.progresso.com/SouperYou to enter the "Souper You Debut Contest" for the chance to win a full makeover in New York City! Three grand prize winners will be awarded a trip for two to New York City from May 21st-23rd. The prize includes roundtrip airfare, a two-night stay in a NYC hotel, a full makeover, a $1,000 wardrobe shopping spree and personal consultation at a New York department store. All you need to do is submit a 200 character or less essay telling Progresso why you love Progresso Light or 100 Calorie Soups and why you would like a makeover. Even if you don’t win, you can still download a coupon for $1 off any three varieties of Progresso Soup from the site!
