justJENN recipes – **GIVEAWAY**

I will be gone this week for the San Diego Comic Con! If you are coming, stop by and see me at Small Press table N10!

If you’ve been reading this blog you know my love of gadgets, and now here’s your chance to WIN some of my favorite things…

One of my tried and true items is my musubi maker. Not just for spam musubi, I also use it for desserts! Brownie ice cream sandwiches, rice krispy ice cream sandwiches – ok, maybe I just like ice cream.

Another favorite is my Lego man mold. Sure it’s for ice, but you know I think it’s perfect for making chocolate cupcake toppers.

Finally, this isn’t a gadget, but it is hard to find – so you blog readers might appreciate it – Hello Kitty pasta! aka the cutest pasta in the universe.

If you want a chance to win this fabbbulous prize package just leave a comment on this post from now until Sunday. Tell me your favorite recipe from this blog that you’ve tried, or heck, just why you come here to read. Like cupcakes? Scared of fondant? Love bacon? Let me know! I’ll announce the winner next week, thanks for reading!

Thanks for the cute giveaway and chance to win! I love seeing the meals you prep for your kids on those adorable trays. I have a 6 month old daughter and am filing away your great ideas about how to make mealtime fun.

too much fun stuff. my favorite is the strawberry cupcakes (that you posted with chocolate frosting and strawberry pocky). the broken glass and rainbow jello is always a hit when i take it to parties, too.

duude, root beer got TONS of votes! That one’s awesome but I gotta say that the lemon chicken has saved me a thousand times so I have to vote for it and give it props. Whoah – I was looking through the comments and saw someone posted about nutella cookies? I’m sure I had them but I have since forgot – perusing for the recipe right now! I’m in for the HK pasta baby! pick me!

i LOVE all your recipes – even the ones i haven’t had a chance to make yet. there aren’t enough hours in the day to try all of your recipes but i’m trying! i would definitely say the blueberry mochi cake is one of my favorites. but it’s a difficult choice. i bake bday cakes or cupcakes for my 2 kids and nieces and nephews (7 of them!) so i love checking here for recipes. and of course, i have some terrible ritual of reading your recipes at like 11pm and torture myself!

I love your Batman cake and cupcakes. My son’s birthday party in on Saturday, and I was glad to find both. They are a dream come true to this home baker. Thanks for the ideas. You make it look easy! What with all of the specific instructions, you make it simple. Not to mention all of the campy photos that keep the fun in cooking!
Charlene July 22, 2010 at 10:27 am -

I love everything you do hello kitty!! It’s so cute.. but I love everything you do!! You’re very creative with everything:]

I just found you! I will be back for sure!
Lynn July 22, 2010 at 2:48 pm -

Let’s see….my family loves the lemon zest chicken, the one you just throw into a bag? I guess that could describe a few of your recs. I love the root beer pulled pork and right now I’m eating a lot of the sweet/spicy edame.

Honestly I read for your stories. The OG stories are always so funny and I love seeing your pics of LA.

(OMG I WANT THAT LEGO MAN ICE TRAY!)
Kat July 22, 2010 at 2:56 pm -

I LOVE the variety of recipes you have, always making me wanna try new and cool things!!!
Jessica July 22, 2010 at 2:57 pm -

I found your blog via the Food Librarian awhile ago and quickly became a faithful reader! You’ve got so many unique ideas that I want to try, but my indecision hasn’t helped me yet. One of my favorites was actually the chocolate Lego men….why didn’t I ever think to use fun ice cream molds for chocolate??

Have fun at Comic Con!
Jessica July 22, 2010 at 2:58 pm -

^^^ oops…ice *cube molds!
Keli July 22, 2010 at 3:03 pm -

I am super scared of fondant! The humidity and heat in Hawaii make it impossible to work with!
Allison July 22, 2010 at 3:25 pm -

i love cupcakes, i love hello kitty, and i loooove hello kitty cupcakes!
Alison July 22, 2010 at 4:15 pm -

I love your blog for so many reasons. Your children are adorable, your stories are hysterical, and your recipes are amazing. I’m nowhere near as talented or creative in the kitchen, so I’m just totally in awe of your skill.

(I also love that your posts are usually short but concise. I know I can click on your blog in my google reader even when I’m in a hurry, and I can be entertained without putting in a lot of effort!)
Mary July 22, 2010 at 4:35 pm -

That is easy…I love the hello kitty cupcakes best of all. Your blog is great!
Kristie July 22, 2010 at 4:59 pm -

Any of your posts with Hello Kitty make my inner-curly-haired child happy! I definitely love all the cupcakes you make. It makes me a little more confident to try new things out. I also love the meals you make for your kids, super cute!
Staci A July 22, 2010 at 5:33 pm -

I love the cookies you’ve made. I made your cookie cupcakes (with the cinnamon chips) awhile back and they were a huge hit!
Jenn July 22, 2010 at 7:47 pm -

Sweet and Spicy Edamame is my favorite recipe! Kidlet and I eat ours this way all the time now, soo good!
Raishawn July 22, 2010 at 8:38 pm -

I love the Hello Kitty pasta! Cutest thing ever! Right up there with the Legoman Icetray.

I love a lot of your recipes but one I want to make most often is the Lemon Zest Chicken. I’m hoping to finally get to the Ice Cream Jell-O next month when my niece comes to visit. I love your fondant creations and I am still too wussy to try making anything myself. Your blog is awesome.
Naomi July 22, 2010 at 8:43 pm -

Love your blog! Especially the Asian recipes.
My son went to comic con. Did you see him?
Louis July 22, 2010 at 9:01 pm -

I’ve made the Broken Glass Jello with tons of oohs and ahhhs from people. My daughter likes Hello Kitty (but I think I like her more!) so we’d love to win!
Antonio July 23, 2010 at 1:09 pm -

What got me here was your hello kitty love.
What made me stay was your hello kitty love.

The fact that every recipe looks effing good helps this whole problem i have.

Plus no one can deny the power of bacon.
Heidi July 23, 2010 at 2:32 pm -

I love the pasta salad – I make it all the time!
Sara Spiegel July 23, 2010 at 2:58 pm -

Hey Jenn — I read your blog because you’re darn funny, you love food, and I keep hoping to read more about chocolate Lego men.
M24 July 23, 2010 at 7:41 pm -

Whitney July 23, 2010 at 7:42 pm -

I love your bacon garlic dip. It was so yummy with pretzel rods. And I just made a watermelon bomb for our 4th of July celebration! It was a complete success! There are many more recipes I want to try, I just haven’t found the time or the guinea pigs to test them on!
shiromisa July 23, 2010 at 8:58 pm -

The Hello Kitty Oreos were what brought me here, but the cupcakes are the reason I stay. Mmmmcupcakes. My boyfriend’s been bugging me about the pineapple upside-down cupcakes, so next time I see him (whoo long-distance relationship), I’m going to make those for him.
Maita July 23, 2010 at 9:14 pm -

Hi! I stumbled upon your blog about a week ago and your recipes are totally inspiring! I’ve been dying to get a musubi maker to try making my own ice cream sandwiches and I’ve been looking for cute molds for chocolate too! Can’t wait to get more creative with cupcakes as well. Thanks for the inspiration!

Enjoy your trip to San Diego!
Maita July 23, 2010 at 9:17 pm -

P.S. My husband works for Barry Callebaut and he was very happy to hear you use Callebaut chocolate
Rachela July 23, 2010 at 9:18 pm -

Well, what got me coming here was your chocolate lego men. I found you on Craft Gossip. And I’m with shiromisa- cupcakes keep me coming back for more!
Jennifer T July 24, 2010 at 3:48 am -

I am in love with the peanut butter cups. They are addictive and I don’t want to share them!
Ying July 24, 2010 at 5:01 am -

I really enjoyed the tiny rainbow sherbet cupcakes! I also loved the rainbow cake [i made one for my friend's birthday]. And everytime when i’m looking for a cute recipe, i always start searching here!
kim July 24, 2010 at 8:39 am -

Demi July 24, 2010 at 9:21 am -

Hi Jenn! I’m glad we found your booth at Comic Con! Love your notepads and buttons and we can’t wait to try your cupcake recipes! Move here to San Diego, we need more cupcake stores!

carrie July 24, 2010 at 5:30 pm -

We love the pulled pork in the crock pot and the mascarpone cupcakes. I also love reading your posts. So many cute ideas especially for getting picky young children to eat food.
