Join CertifiedFoodies.com's First Anniversary Giveaway

Finally!! I know you’ve waited too long for the winners announcement of our first anniversary giveaway. Please accept my sincere apologies for the anticipation. There were just too many entries I needed to verify so it took me longer than I expected, plus it’s been really hectic for us lately. But, here we are!!

I made an announcement a few days ago that the total number of entries were around 2,100+. But, after I tallied AGAIN, there were actually a total of 2,373 raffle entries! 😀

Now, I know you waited too long for this already so let’s not prolong the announcement anymore.

Our prizes for our first anniversary giveaway are ready! - CertifiedFoodies.com

Look at all those gift certificates!

Oh, an update! Last night, when Ken and I went shopping for prizes, Pancake House in Trinoma and SM North Edsa didn’t have gift certificates available. Plus, Kenny Rogers don’t sell them anymore so we decided to change these GCs to KFC’s instead.. I think the KFC branch in Trinoma is out of GCs because of the amount we bought from them. 😀

And don’t forget the other prizes you’re getting like our  The Cookie Jar  treat for you and yummy polvoron from Fedhz!

And, lastly, from Chef Anna of My Pink Wasabi – the 16-piece bento boxes!

Hurry! We’re no longer extending the giveaway so make sure you submit your mandatory and optional entries by 11:59pm tonight.

To everyone who joined, good luck! Please be patient as we verify ALL your entries.

Lastly, it’s also the last day of our Pasko sa Agosto giveaway. Head on over to this giveaway page to join.

Note: Today, I’m posting this through a VERY SLOW CONNECTION. We don’t have our regular DSL right now so please bear with us as we find a way to check on all your entries with this problem at hand. Boohoo.

CLOSED: Certified Foodies First Anniversary Giveaway

One year.

We can’t believe that this food blog, Certified Foodies, has been in existence for over a year now.

We started this humble blog in May 2010 with the purpose of sharing our own recipes of dishes that we Pinoys usually don’t prepare at home. It may be because they seem complicated or too messy to cook. We wanted to show people that noob cooks (Mhel) or better skilled ones (Kenneth) can experiment and add their own twists to different recipes and flavors.

Since then, we’ve aimed to hopefully encourage people that cooking is fun. Our very own Nanay (yes, we’re siblings! :D) has shown us how much you can enjoy cooking at home. That’s why the kitchen is our favorite area in our home. We get to cook whatever we want, whenever we prefer. And she willingly (:D) tastes them, compliments or criticizes us accordingly and in a very amusing way. 😀

She’s even very supportive of our food blog. Whenever we’re dining out, she’ll always recommend we try something new. Why? ‘Cause she’s seen the development of this blog and is actually enjoying being part of all this.

A lot has happened in the past year, including our discovery of new flavor combinations and cuisines that we usually would be scared to taste. Our palates have matured and we now are looking forward to more foodie adventures. 🙂

Mhel and Ken - We're siblings who love to cook and go on food trips - CertifiedFoodies.comFierce-fierce-an 😀

We honestly can’t believe the amount of support we’re getting from our fellow foodies. From moms who have tried our recipes and added their own twists to it (definitely a win for us!) to fellow food lovers who finally worked up the courage to try something new just because of our recommendations, ahhh… for that, WE THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts… and bellies :D, especially those who find the time to visit our blog and comment.

By the way, we hope you’d consider this food blog for your list of Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs for 2011. For all those who have already voted for us, THANK YOU SO MUCH! 🙂

 

Why is this giveaway launching today, July 12, 2011?

Today, Kenneth, one of the authors of this blog, will be starting his journey towards fulfilling his culinary dreams. So, it was just fitting to start our giveaway on a very remarkable day in our lives.

Very soon, he’ll be sharing his new recipes, and tips and techniques that he learned from culinary school. So, make sure you stay tuned for that!

 

 

Alright, enough introduction. Let’s get on to our FIRST ANNIVERSARY GIVEAWAY. But, we hope you did read the paragraphs here. You’ll know why later. 😉
