Ragu Giveaway & Meeting TV Chef Robin Miller

by Katja Presnal on March 30, 2009

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

There are things money can buy, then there is MasterCard, and then there are Mommy Blogger Perks.

I know I have mentioned several times, that my oldest daughter’s dream is to become a TV chef when she grows up. Thanks to one of my all time favorite PR people, I was invited on set to see the Food Network’s TV Chef Robin Miller shooting a Ragu recipe video. It happened to be on my daughter’s birthday and she was also invited. Think what a birthday gift for her – to see a real TV chef on set!

As you can imagine, Ragu tomato sauce will be a product that I will remember for life now. When companies take an extra step to do something as nice as this for my family, it makes me a fan for life. I am so thankful for the opportunity to have Isabella to see a real Food Network TV set and a chef in action, it was such a fun day for her. She was little nervous asking questions from Robin Miller, see the clip below!

We have been using Ragu tomato sauce as a quick spaghetti sauce mix for years and we have tried the Ragu’s new varieties of Old World Style sauces Sweet Tomato Basil Pasta Sauce and Margherita Pasta Sauce. I love basil, so the first one is a no-brainer for us for those days that I don’t have time to cook marinara for the whole day. Check out the tips how to eat well for less, including tips from Stacy DeBroff of MomCentral.com, and try out the easy recipes created by Robin Miller and the rest of the Ragu team.
