Nespresso Giveaway Winner! — Thank you for sharing all the delicious foods you guys have been eating over at the Nespresso Pixie + Aerrocino Giveaway. I’m so inspired by the berries and grilled corn and coconut butter and gazpacho and salted caramel that all of you wrote about.

The randomly chosen lucky reader taking home an awesome new kitchen gadget is…Mercedes. Here’s what Mercedes had to say: My favorite dish of the moment is homemade minestrone!

It may be too hot for soup in this neck of the woods, but I’m delighted that Mercedes will be able to enjoy espresso – both hot and cold. Thanks all for entering!

In Good Company Event — I’ll be speaking about blogging, entrepreneurship, and social media “shyness” at a lunchtime event tomorrow, June 7th!

Around the Web — Here’s what I’m reading this week: Adam’s ode to Rancho Gordo beans (I’m obsessed with them too!); EcoSalon’s Baked Eggs in Avocado with Parsley and Goat Cheese; YumSugar’s Recipes the Obamas Love; and Faith Durand’s dinner party menus from The Kitchn.

Giveaway: Full Circle Home Winner — Thank you for sharing your amazing local-made dishes with us as part of the Full Circle Home Giveaway! I can’t wait to try my hand at your creations: carrot pancakes, ramp pizza, and quinoa chili.

The lucky reader taking home a whole bunch of green cleaning goodies…Nicolette. Here’s what Nicolette had to say: I love making a dessert with fruits from the farmers market, like a pound cake with fresh strawberries.
