***This giveaway is now closed. Thanks for your participation!!***

Indeed. I am now the ripe old age of 27. :)  So to celebrate, and to celebrate Gimme Some Oven’s new Facebook page, we’re doing a giveaway!!!

I’m super excited about this one, as it has been sponsored by one of my favorite local spice and gardening stores – Planters! Located in the heart of Kansas City’s downtown City Market, this is my favorite place in town to buy spices, seasonings, my oh-so-favorite blackening powder, and fresh herb and veggie plans galore! They also have a fantastic website, where any of you non-locals can check out their selection.

For this giveaway, though, thought it would be fun to feature some of Planters’ most popular rubs that Kansas City (and especially KC bbq!) is famous for, including:

  • Applewood Smoke Rub
  • BBQ Spice
  • Jamaican Jerk Seasoning
  • Lemon Herb
  • Mequite Seasoning
  • Rotisserie Seasoning
  • Steak Seasoning
  • Tequila Lime Seasoning

So enter to win, and have an extra-fun time grilling and cooking this summer!!! (Read below for details.)

  28. Happy B-day. This seasoning has been approved by all of my ex wives and their kids, as well as all of my friends. Since I am a more of “the seat of my pants” kind of cook, I cant give you precise measurements. All the ingredients are listed however. This works well with beef, pork or chicken.

    Primary ingredient Worseterchire, followed with
    Liquid smoke,
    Tobasco Smokey Chipolte
    Fresh roasted garlic, (just squeeze it into the marinade)
    brown sugar
    olive oil
    rosemary

    for the finishing touch mix local honey with the Smokey Chipolte Tobasco, and let it carmelize.

    Next time your in town Cousin get hold of me and I will show you.

  29. I think the BBQ one would FAB!!!
