March Madness–Slow Cooker Style! Aaaaaand a giveaway :)

Hi Friends,
The past few years I’ve hosted a slow cooker tourney that coincides with the NCAA Mens Basketball Tournament.  It’s been a fun time but often hectic!
I’ve simplified this year by only starting with 8 recipes (instead of 64).  And to compare apples to apples, they are all soups!  Here are the links to all the competitors:

#1 Lasagna Soup

#2 Cheesy Potato
#3 Cream Cheese Chicken Enchilada


#4 Greek Lemon

#5 Tomato Campanelle

#6 Pork, Barley, Lentil and Mushroom Stew

#7 Thai Coconut
#8 Chicken Noodle

Shirley J has volunteered to sponsor a giveaway along with the tournament!  How fun!  I love their bouillons, Whisk Bliss, pasta seasoning and their Timeless Grains Cereal the best.  But all of their products are tasty and so so so easy to put together!  Most of the time, it’s just add water and you’re done!  They have some great vegetarian and gluten free options as well.

Visit the Shirley J website and order my most favorite bouillon ever for 20% off just use the coupon code:  365days20

The Giveaway:
Enter to win $150 worth of Shirley J products!!!  That’s a lot folks, and you’ll love it, I promise.
Enter with the rafflecopter widget below!
Good luck!
Winner will be chosen at the end of the tournament.  U.S. residents only.

    I'm really looking forward to trying the chicken bullion. I have been using better than bullion for years as a cheaper/tastey sub for store bought and easier sub than homemade broth/stock. If this is as good as you say, I think this will be a very cost effective alternative!
