GIVEAWAY – last day!

March is a notoriously hard month for me. If you read O.G. Road Trippin, you’ll remember this is the week that my Grandpa died and I lost my job. I never look forward to this week, ever. To get through it, I’m taking a break – but that only means good things for you, because this week I’ll be having the biggest giveaway ever – in fact it will be my only giveaway on this blog this year.

If you’ve followed this blog, you know there are certain things that I love. (Lego, Star Wars, Hello Kitty) Watch carefully, everyday I will put up a new item and at the end of the week – ONE person will get it ALL! Come back everyday to see what’s new.
_________________________

DAY FOUR: We made it through this horrible week! The rest of the year will be unicorns and rainbows right? Eh.

This is the last day and now you know the prize pack consists of Mac Nut Hershey’s kisses, a Star Wars cupcake baking set, a chocolate Lego mold but…how can I do a giveaway and NOT include something Hello Kitty? Right? RIGHT??

I love all things Hello Kitty especially so when it comes to food. From cupcakes to cookies to moffles (mochi waffles) – she is my muse.

These adorable little pastas are perfect for making Hello Kitty baked pasta (recipe, here). (all these prizes I bought with my OWN money, none of this was given to me)

Thanks so much for following along on my week off and for being such loyal readers, I really appreciate it!

To enter simply leave a comment on this post. You have until March 20th. Thanks for reading and good luck!

  43. ashley says:

    Hope you get through this tough week okay.

    And yeah, those kisses look awesome.

  44. C&C Cakery says:

    I know what you mean about months from hell – sometimes it seems like the world is picking on you, and you have no idea why. You’ve just got to shrug that feeling off and focus on the good things, because the bad things will always pass and move on. I really hope you’re doing well – everyone here at the bakery absolutely loves your nerdy treats! It’s great to see someone who is just as geeky as us 🙂

    Sending positive vibes your way!

  45. Jenna says:

    Those kisses sound delish! Too bad you can’t spend this traditionally crappy week in Hawaii eating these babies while sitting on the beach.

    Love your blog. Hope your week is filled with lots of people telling you how amazing you are.

  47. Heather says:

  49. Carrie says:

    Um, these are right up my alley. Yum.

  50. Lauren says:

  51. Panya says:

    Intriguing!

  52. Ava says:

    What a great idea to work on doing something positive during a week that has negative memories for you!

  53. Jen says:

    These look delicious! I love your recipes. I visit your site everyday.

  54. Deke says:

    Ooh, macadamia nuts! Shame they’re in Hershey’s instead of good quality chocolate. ;P I’d still gladly take them all the same, though.

  55. Kendra says:

    YUM, those look interestingly delicious!!

  56. Caroline says:

    Thinking of you this week, Jenn.

    I had no idea they made these. They look amazing! 🙂

  57. Naomi says:

    I love these! When I went to Hawaii last Nov. I went to Costco and bought a bunch of bags of these kisses.
    I’m sorry about losing your gpa and your job. Ganbatte!

  58. Cathy says:

    I’m sorry about this being a historically bad week. Sometimes I don’t think the universe knows when enough is enough. Here’s hoping it goes better this year.
    (Also, my parents are in the process of moving to Hawaii, and your blog has me so excited about going to visit.)

  59. Shakira says:

    I didn’t even know they made these! My mom and I would love these.

  60. Megan says:

  61. Amber says:

    This sound so amazing! I am dying to try them!

  62. Lorena says:

  63. ValApisala says:

    Yum, so ono! Gimme please so I don’t have to drive to Marukai to buy = )

  64. geekgal says:

  68. JoAnn says:

    Jenn, I hope this month will not be so sad for you. I love your website and look forward to seeing you again at SDCC this year.

  69. I think we all have months that we would like to just crawl under the bed with the dustbunnies and let pass us by. March is a bad month for me also. 🙁
    I have to tell you I have never seen these Hershey Kisses before and I am intrigued!
    kathydetweiler@gmail.com

    ps-a mochi question! how do you store them once they’re made? i tried wrapping mine individually in plastic wrap and sticking them in the fridge but they got really hard and gross : ( tips?

  74. Donna says:

    “I’m not trying to say
    I’ll have it all my way
    I’m always willing to learn
    When you’ve got something to teach
    And I’ll make it all worthwhile
    I’ll make your heart smile”

    I learn sooo much from you, Jenn – from Aiea to LA, the Jenn way! All my aloha!!

    DearHeart Jenn –
    My thoughts go out to you and your family this week…
    I am also dealing with loss; my Grandma suffered a massive stroke last March 30th, and after seven weeks of being in the hospital- passed away on the morning of May 13th. They say that time heals all wounds, but I disagree. I still think about her every day…

    Hugs to you and O.G. (who, by the way, reminds me of my Grandma!)
    PAX,
    Lola

  132. kasey says:

  166. Shakira says:

    I am sorry for your loss. My granddad was the first person who taught me how to cook. He passed when I was 15. Every time I cook, especially when I make curry, I think of him.

Always count your blessings. <3

  173. Lisa says:

    Jenn,
    Hope this week is better than you expect. Sometimes it’s good to remember the bad times so we can appreciate how good we have it now. I’m glad you’re spreading cheer to help you feel better!

  215. Beth B. says:

    Love your recipes and have turned a couple of co-workers onto your site.
    Thought I’d share an appetizer I made that was sort of inspired by you:
    Mini Tacos!
    http://www.flickr.com/photos/gothicchastity/5536103029/

    Scoops Tortilla chips (or similar bowl shaped chips)
    Finely chopped lettuce
    Refried beans
    Mexican Rice
    Taco Sauce or Salsa
    Sour Cream
    Shredded Cheese
    Grape Tomato slices
    Jalapeno slices

    stack and nom!
    you can fit just over 50 in 2 layers separated with parchment paper into a 9×13 cake pan.
    I made veggie ones for a potluck, but meat can of course be used in place of the beans and rice.

  216. karen says:

    Jen – lucky for US that you lost your job so you can post more. Whenever I’m down, bored, need creative inspiration, or want to feel like “someone” is out there doing something amazing I always go to your website. 🙂 I’m a huge fan! Keep up with the great work!

    Can I just say that I absolutely love your blog? I’m 15 years old and have lost count of the number of things I’ve tried on your blog. The nutella cookies were delicious, and the rainbow cake was a hit with my friends 🙂

  263. Emily says:

    In a battle between Hello Kitty, Star Wars, and Legomen, Hello Kitty would come out on top because
    1) She’s just so darn awesome!!
    2) Girls rule!

    Your blogs are so very “Hello Kitty”

  264. Akeele says:

  268. mary walker says:

    I love it. Sorry about your week. March is just a hard month for some reason!

    This give away is:
    Fun! and Yum!

  269. Wendy says:

    Love love love your blog! I watch for new postings on FB and check on the weekends to see if I missed anything. I’m also anxiously awaiting OG’s cookbook/recipes. OG is a few years older than my grandma ( she and her twin sister celebrated 88 yo in July). I have been trying to get recipes written down from her but it’s tough. Nothing is measured…a little of this and a little of that. I try to make them but them never seem to taste as good as grandmas cooking ( maybe due to the lack of ajinomoto that was in a lot of her recipes 😉

  270. Jen I. says:

    Very cool blog. 🙂

  271. Naomi says:

    Wow Jenn! I’ve visited your blog on and off, but I keep coming back so that’s the main thing right?

    This seems like an awesome give-away, and you can’t find these in Australia (that I’m aware of anyway). Whoever wins this is certainly lucky indeed.

    (I hope this week hasn’t been to rough on you and your family. My grandfather passed away on this week too, and about 12 years later I still miss him loads.)

  272. Heather Vaughn says:

    Macadamia Nut kisses?! Really?! Wow! Luv the site!

  273. Alejandra says:

    Hi Jenn! I am so amazed by your blog!! I read it every time I am online! I love trying out your recipes…especially the Hello Kitty ones! You must know–I am the BIGGEST HELLO KITTY FAN THAT EVER LIVED!! My whole room is Hello Kitty. I’ve loved her ever since I was little! I have Hello Kitty trash cans, kitchen appliances, fruit snacks, pop tarts, pez dispensers, stuffed animal Hello Kitties galore, Hello Kitty Seasons Wii game(I play it for hours!),and Hello Kitty computer speakers,etc. I would LOVE, absolutely LOVE the Hello Kitty pasta! I am such a huge fan of Hello Kitty that I would love to go to Japan someday and ride in Harmonyland and Puroland and hug Hello Kitty. I would totally cry! My heart goes out to all those in Japan who are struggling and I pray for their safety. Thankfully, I do know all the Sanrio employees are okay, so that is a piece of good news. So, anyways, the Star Wars stuff looks really neat, too..I’m a pretty big Star Wars fan as well. Well, thanks for having such a cooooool blog and updating it with Hello Kitty stuff-I really do appreciate it!

    -Love,
    Alejandra

  274. Alejandra says:

    Oh by the way..I’m sorry about your grandfather. Hope the rest of your week was good!

  275. Alejandra says:

    Go Hello Kitty Forever 🙂 <3
