This Mama Cooks! On a Diet

Meet my next Blogher09 sponsor

Last March I posted that Log Cabin® replaced High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) with natural sugar in their pancake syrups. Well, now I’m pleased to announce that Log Cabin is one of my BlogHer09 Conference sponsors.

Over the next few weeks, I’ll be posting recipes using their HFCS-free and real maple syrup products, like this one for Ale & Sweet Marinated Grilled Flank Steak with Maple Herb Butter at my review blog, This Mama Cooks! Reviews.

I’ll be hosting a giveaway or two also, so check my Log Cabin posts frequently.

And if you’re going to BlogHer09, I’ll be passing out some cool stuff, too, so stop by and say hi!

Meet my BlogHer09 sponsors

The BlogHer09 Conference is less than a month away. Until then and during, I’ll be introducing you to some of my sponsors at my other blog, This Mama Cooks! Reviews. (You can read all my conference sponsor posts here.)

My first sponsor is Best Western. If you’re planning a trip this year with your family or for business, you may want to check out my interview with Troy Rutman, their director of external communications. We cover everything from how Best Western is helping travelers stay healthy on the road to how they’re helping women travelers stay safe.

It’s going to be a busy summer. Hope you’ll join me at BlogHer in July in Chicago, and later this year at the BlogHer Food conference in September in San Francisco. If you can’t make it, you can follow what I’m doing via my Twitter feed.

Ferrero allows you to Share Something Sweet to help Share Our Strength end childhood hunger

Share Something Sweet is a partnership between one of my favorite chocolate companies, Ferrero*, and Share Our Strength, a leading hunger-relief organization. They’ve been partnering for two years to help end childhood hunger in the U.S.

No child should grow up hungry, yet more than 12 million children in America are at risk of hunger. Despite its highly visible consequences, childhood hunger is invisible. You can’t see it just by looking, and you can’t measure it in pounds, but it is among us. Through dedicated, committed volunteers and community organizations, Share Our Strength finds childhood hunger where it hides and works to end it.

“Ferrero’s ‘Share Something Sweet’ campaign helps raise awareness of the critical problem of childhood hunger in the United States while raising funds to solve it," said Bill Shore, co-founder of Share Our Strength. "We are pleased to continue to work with such a committed partner in the fight against childhood hunger.”

Thanks to Quaker Oats This Mama Cooks! returns to Chicago

I’m one of the 15 food and diet/health blogger invited to the Quaker Oatmeal Living Proof Weekend November 7 to 9. I’m beyond excited. Not only do I get to Chicago (haven’t been since BlogHer 2007) but I get to eat oatmeal and hang out with 14 other cool food and health bloggers.

Since it’s an all paid expenses event and Quaker has already sent me a big box of oatmeal products, I’ll have to tell you more about it on the review section of my blog. Don’t want to tick off my advertisers, you know.

However, I can tell you that I’ll having a contest to give away some terrific Quaker cereals, breakfast bars, and oatmeal. Working out the details, so stay tuned.
