What’s your favorite smell? Is it the smell of your mother’s perfume that takes you back to when you were growing up?  Is it the smell of laundry?  Flowers? Your child’s hair after bath time?

What about your favorite food smell?  How often can the sense of smell take us back in our memory and crave not just food, but to be in that moment again.  Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and already I’m anticipating the smell of Turkey baking, stuffing, and that sweat pumpkin pie along with the good company of my family.  It’s part of what makes Thanksgiving…well..Thanksgiving to me. Pillsbury has a new commercial out that portrays just that, that “Home is Calling” where good food and family are waiting.

But Pillsbury is doing more than just advertising for their (awesome tasting) products, but also giving back to those who need it.  Visit this page, watch the short video, and pass it on in honor of your own smell memories and to give that chance to others.  Every time you forward the commercial to others by December 31st, Pillsbury will donate 1 pound of food to a food bank within the USA. It’s that easy help out! They will donate at least $5,000 worth and up to $25,000. That’s a lot of food, people!  Start sending away.

And, to celebrate the holidays even more, I’m giving away THREE Pillsbury gift baskets as a thank you for passing on the love and food. The basket includes:

1. Coupon for FREE Pillsbury crescent rolls

2. Cookie sheet (It’s NICE one folks, Oneida!)

3. Pot holder

4. Bread basket (for those yummy crescent rolls…)

5. Magnetic coupon holder

6. Mouse pad

7. Lovable Pillsbury Doughboy figurine (Which, Savannah is sleeping with ours as I type)

Leave a comment on this post telling me to how many people you forwarded the video to and what’s your favorite holiday food. Comments will close Thursday, December 4th at midnight.  Then, three winners will be chosen randomly and announced on Friday, December 5th.  Thanks for passing the food and good luck!
