THIS GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED! STAND BY FOR WINNER ANNOUNCEMENT!
Yes, it is official. Today is my VERY FIRST GIVEAWAY right here and just in time for VGNO.
Last week, I gave you a bit of a teaser about the giveaway and I truly hope you have been singing Cookie Monster's cookie song all week! heehee
Now, to the review:
Kudos Kookies - Don't just say congratulations, say "Kudos"!
I have to say, my mouth has been watering since the day I spoke with Renee at "Kudos Custom Favors". You just can't believe how much I LOVE COOKIES!
This morning, the package arrived! Neatly and securely placed inside were these beautiful, individually wrapped Kudos Kookies, hand decorated as a Hibiscus flower
Aren't they gorgeous?
Now we all know, I spent 2 seconds looking and the rest of the time ripping off the wrapper! I HAD TO HAVE THAT COOKIE!
I have to say, the cookie was magnificient! It had a cake-like texture that seemed to melt in my mouth and just the right amount of sweetness to ensure you being able to EAT THEM ALL! The icing was thinly placed on the cookie, enough to cover the cookie but not enough to come off and get plastered around your mouth like Saturday night's leftover lipstick. It, too, was not overly sweet or too rich to eat. The decorations, yes, I looked at the decorations.....of the others as I was eating mine.........were delicate and exquisite.
It was an absolute pleasure eating that cookie! It is also a pleasure speaking with Renee. She is so friendly and customer conscious. I encourage you all to stop by and visit her at www.kudoskookies.com and, if you really want to catch her, give her a tweet: @KudosKookies
Here are a few more examples of Renee's work at Kudos Custom Favors:
Oh, look, could it be, yes, it is, COOKIE MONSTER!
How would you like to serve these at your next BABY SHOWER? Everyone would want to attend.
For your little PRINCESS!
Here's one for GIRLS NIGHT OUT!
And, don't forget the happy couple's ENGAGEMENT AND WEDDING DAY
Renee's message to her customers:

Margarita Grilled Chicken
Nothing like a little Summertime Grillin' to make you want to get to partying! And, no party is complete without a little Margarita:
Margarita Grilled Chicken
* 3 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
* 2 cups bottled margarita mix
DIRECTIONS
1. Pour the margarita mix into a large resealable plastic bag. Add the chicken breasts, and press out as much of the air as possible before sealing. Marinate 4 to 8 hours in the refrigerator.
2. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat.
3. Lightly oil the grill grate. Remove chicken from marinade, and discard the marinade. Grill chicken 8 minutes per side, or until juices run clear.
