Startcooking.com is partnering with Chiquita to bring you a great contest in which you can win a Wii Fit and have your idea made into a startcooking.com video.

Our friends at Chiquita have asked us to make a video about their great Chiquita Bites product line, pre-sliced fruit and veggies that deliver great nutrition and pack a vitamin wallop in a super quick and convenient format.

As the focus of this product is its high nutritional value and convenience, we thought it would be great to have our friends and food bloggers help us come up with the best idea. This contest was also launched in our group on facebook, if you are a facebook member and want to be Kathy's friend, join our facebook group.

Interesting. I'll have to think on this one. Is this a real product already being sold, or is this something that hasn't been released to market yet? Because I'll tell you, I could probably think of a worse name for a product, but it might take a bit. I mean, come on! Apple Bites? Sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen. Steve Jobs will have a conniption fit over that one. And Carrot Bites? Why not call them Carrot Sucks? You see where I'm going here. But, I'm not a marketing guy, so what do I know? Besides how people will make fun of the name, I mean? <grin>

Yes KGW these are already on the market!  I personally love the Apple Bites!  Call me "out-to-lunch" but until you mentioned it, I actually never connected this product with Mr. Jobs product!  :-)
Recently I have had to do a lot of car journeys and these packets of fruit made for a great pre-made car snack!

My nieces tell me that their kids love them as well!

So put on your thinking cap and let me make your recipe into a video!!!

Ok, but do we have to compete for a Wii Fit? That sounds suspiciously like exercise.

Anybody who spends any time on this site has a computer and needs a backup drive. This external unit just plugs in, holds 1 terabyte (that's a 1000 gigabytes), and costs about the same as a Wii Fit. Can't beat that with a stick, although stick-beating is good exercise. Hmmm... may have to re-think that one... <grin>

Its not directly related to you post, but i have to say this.
You have a beautiful blog here. Not only its aesthetically very very pleasing , its well categorized and your tips and techniques videos are AWESOME!

I still have to try the recipes you have shared with us but i am already a fan.
I cannot even imagine, how much effort you put into making one post and/or video because you DO NOT miss tiny details.

Thanks you for sharing with us.

What a fun contest!  I'm working on it right away!  My kids love those snack bites, they're great to grab when you're on the go and want something fresh.

By the way, your website is uber-fabulous!  I spent about an hour last night just surfing all the great videos, they're all so well done!!
