Cook For a Cause

This giveaway is now closed. I LOVED reading all your ideas for dinner guests, this was one of the best giveaways ever!!
We're giving away TWO Macy's $25 Gift Cards!
Why? Macy's is feeding hungry Americans. That's awesome.

We have 2 winners!

"Well I since i would be hosting with my husband- i would not consider him a guest. I would love to invite Britney Spears, Barack Obama, Jack Nicholas, Matt Logelin (blogger) and God"

CC who said...
"I forgot to mention that I'd host and cook dessert but no shopping or cooking dinner for me!"


COME TOGETHER is Macy's new fundraising campaign
that aims to feed 10 million people suffering from hunger.

COME TOGETHER invites the public to rally around the cause by hosting special dinners in their homes and asking their guests to pledge a donation to Feeding America. In return, Macy's will match these donations dollar-for-dollar until the total goal of 10 million meals is reached.

How can you help raise 10 Million meals for families in need? All you have to do is host a dinner for your friends. How cool is that? To get involved you can Host, Give and Shop. For more details please visit - macys.com/cometogether.

Personally, I'm planning out a dinner party
and of COURSE I'll be shopping!;)

There are all kinds of celebrities involved, check out Usher almost taking out Martha and Tommy H.! You can also view a cool "behind the scenes" video with the other celebrities involved here.

To help promote what I think is an amazing fundraising effort, Macy's is giving away a $25 Gift Card to TWO Gourmet-Mom-on-the-Go readers!

~To Enter (up to 5 entries)~
Leave a comment telling me:

If you could invite 5 people to your dinner party, who would it be?
(These people can be dead or alive; fiction or non-fiction).
Also, tell me if you plan to participate in any hosting, shopping or giving (It won't increase your chances of winning, I just really want to know!)

Michelle said...

I plan to shop on Black Friday, I always shop that day. I get up around 4am and leave a little before 5am to hit some great sales, yes Walmart is crazy but its worth the money saved. I also go outlet shopping that day, already outlet priced sales are amazing. Victoria's Secret and Express usually give a freebie on Black Friday too so we hit the mall first. I get all my xmas shopping done in one day!

MOMFOREVERANDEVER said...

if any five- both sets of grandparents because they left too soon and a friend who was murdered in high school. I just actually went to the food bank today, looked thru the cabinets and thought I am not going to use this or this, and this, why let it go to waste and I am trying not to buy even if there is a coupon.

Cherry Blossoms said...

Quinn said...

Ooh, this one is a toughie. Let's see-

1. Audrey Hepburn. The epitome of class.
2. Allen Ginsberg. Amazing poet, and from reading biographies of Beat writers and such, he seemed like an incredibly sweet and friendly as well as talented man.
3. Dan Savage. My absolute favorite sex advice columnist. He's hilarious on This American Life, and doubtless he'd have a funny anecdote or two to tell.
4. Dorothy Parker. Writer and poet from the 1920s. She also did a column for Vanity Fair, and was known for her biting wit and participation in the Algonquin Round table, a famous literary circle composed mostly of men. Dottie could certainly run with the boys! (:
5. Woody Allen. *Young* Woody Allen, please, not old pervy Allen. :P Amazing humorist, great director, and I just realized all my other guests were either women or gay men and I don't want to exclude. ;)

kendra22 said...

spouse, Bill Cosby, Moses, walt Disney, chef Duff

Going completely fantasy-like, rather than my loved ones.

1. Michael Jackson - He would always be my #1 choice in these situations, regardless of his recent passing. He's my musical hero.

2. Kosuke Kujirai - A Japanese actor I'm fond of~

3. JUNE - One of my favorite singers.

4. Mark "The Undertaker" Calloway - He's been my favorite wrestler since I was five.

5. Lisa See - I've only recently claimed her as my favorite author. She writes so beautifully~

If I get a chance to participate, I'm most likely to shop for the cause.

Hmmm...
Alexander the Great
Thomas Jefferson
William Shakespeare

Of course, I'm leaving out some other interesting people, but that's a pretty good list. Alexander might be the odd man out. Maybe I'd better switch Lincoln for George Washington. Then they could talk strategy.

If i could invite anyone I wanted, to a dinner party, I really thing I'd just enjoy having my niece and family who live in San Diego CA. And my nephew and HIS family, in Maryland. And my sister in Florida. AFter that, well, I'd like to chat with Abraham Lincoln to see what HE has to say. And the MAIN person I'd invite? Jesus. But then, he's ALWAYS at our dinner table, and with us all the time.

In the near further I am not plan to host anything.

I would invite Sookie, Bill, Jason, Eric, and Tara to dinner (True Blood). I would also let Eric bite me, but that's beside the point.

That's a good question: I'd love to sit around the table with my 3 deceased grandparents who passed away when I was young, as well as my parents so they could see them again as well.

I had never heard of this Macy's promotion but I'm all in...now I just need to decide how I'm going to participate.

Jayne @ Misplaced City Girl said...

If I could invite any five people to dinner I would pick Nathan Fillion, Marjorie Preston, Mike Ditka, Rich Mullins, and Sean Hannity.

Due to our work schedules I won't be hosting any parties anytime soon, but I'll be taking goodies to other gatherings.

If you could invite 5 people to your dinner party, who would it be?

My mother-in-law that passed away in March, my mom's mom, my dad's mom (both deceased) and my parents, so they can see their parent. I never met my mom's mom, she passed away before I was born.
If I could invite 6, I think I would invite Tinkerbell for my daughter...LOL.
I do not plan to host any giveaways, I do not have a blog.

Thank you for the great giveaway!

If I could invite 5 people to my dinner party? Wow that's impossible but I'll try!

1. Michael Jackson
2. Morrissey
3. Billy Corgan
4. Jack White
5. My daughter to die with me!

YES they're all music guys (except my daughter!)and they'd probably fight a lot lol but it would be worth it cause we could happily die!
