This week marks This Tasty Life’s 7th Blogiversary and I can hardly believe I’ve been blogging for that long! In honor of the blogiversary, I’ll be holding five different giveaways this week. Please stay tuned each day for a new giveaway!
I’m kicking off the week with a giveaway that involves the joy of BACON.

I like chocolate. Maybe a little bit more than a lot. And when I say chocolate, I don’t mean Hershey’s bars – I mean the good stuff! Chuao Chocolatier is one of the companies that has the “good stuff” and they’re sponsoring a “chocolate makeover” contest. Their chocolate bars are now available in select Target stores, making their delicious wares more accessible for everyone!
Chuao is launching a Sweet Makeover sweepstakes with a chance to win a $1,000 designer shopping spree …

The first two years hardly count though since 2006 had only 5 posts and 2007 had only 6 posts (ooo, one more than the year before). 2008 is when posting started to happen regularly.

Edit: My anti-spam filter was broken! Sorry to anyone who wasn’t able to enter this weekend. I will extend the giveaway end date to 12PM tomorrow because of this error!
I personally haven’t been to any of the “Taste of XXX Neighborhood” events around town. I keep meaning to, but then things keep popping up and clashing with my lofty plans. This month you can get in on the action by heading Downtown for the “Taste of Downtown“, featuring 56 different …
