OXO 5 Pound Food Scale Giveaway!

A food scale has been on my list of must-buy kitchen gadgets ever since I learned that weighing dry ingredients such as flour and sugar can help improve the taste and texture of baked goods. Not only is a food scale helpful for baking, but it's also essential for portion control and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. I know I could definitely benefit from some portion control! So imagine my excitement when OXO gave me the opportunity to add a food scale to my kitchen and give one lucky reader the chance to win one too!

Take 5 Cookies

I hinted to this giveaway a few weeks ago on Facebook and Twitter but I am happy to finally announce that I have this cute little spatula to give away to one lucky reader!

The limited edition "Be a Good Cookie" spatula from OXO was created to raise awareness for Cookies for Kids' Cancer, a charity devoted to raising money for pediatric cancer research through local bake sales. Founded in 2007 by two OXO employees who sadly lost their son to cancer, Cookies for Kids' Cancer has raised 2.5 million dollars for pediatric cancer research.
