Grandpa Pete’s Giveaway {CLOSED}

By 364 Comments

**This giveaway is now closed. Thank you to everyone who entered!**

Hey guys and gals! Just popping in quick this evening with a fun little giveaway for you all.

Very recently, I came into contact with some of my very favorite jarred sauce…and a whole lot of it, at that.

If you’ve been reading for a while, then you probably know that if I’m not eating my own homemade sauce, I’m mostly likely using Grandpa Pete’s Sunday Sauce. I was first introduced to Grandpa Pete’s almost two years ago, and have been a fan ever since.

I love the fact that it’s all natural and locally made (in the Hudson Valley of New York – right close to home!). If you’re close to the area, the sauce can actually be found throughout the North East in stores and at fairs and festivals (to find out where, you can check here).

So their vodka sauce? Incredible. And their marinara sauce is super versatile, too.

I’ve used it plenty of times on pasta, and most recently used some on the pasta bake I made a couple of weeks ago.

Which is why the jar of marinara may look a bit more empty than the rest. Winking smile

Another favorite of mine is the garlic sauce.

It’s proven to not only be delicious on pasta, but it also makes a pretty mean flatbread pizza.

So lucky for you guys, “Grandpa Pete” has offered a 10% off coupon code to all STSL readers. Just enter SweetTooth in the promo code box when checking out online.

But even better yet, he’s ALSO offered to giveaway one of his special Sunday Sauce 4-Packs to a STSL reader (seen below)!

(open to US & Canada residents only)

To enter, leave a comment on this post telling me your favorite way to enjoy any one of these kinds of sauces.

I’ll choose the winner on Saturday, November 3rd. Good Luck! Smile

  2. I would love to try Grandpa Pete's sauces! Especially the garlic sauce. I recently started making my own pizzas and would like to try using this on them. Also, I've recently enjoyed putting tomato sauce on chickpeas....let's face it, good tomato sauce is really versatile! Thanks for hosting this giveaway!

    Reply

  79. I loveee penne vodka, but never make it at home because I'm usually too lazy to make my own sauce and I have yet to find a really good storebought brand. But after hearing your rave reviews, I'm going to have to give Grandpa Pete's a try!

    Reply

  148. All four sounds wonderful! I would make home made pizza first it's my little girls all time fav then of course spaghetti.
    Reply

  154. My favorite way to use sauce is to make eggplant parmesean using TJ's breaded eggplant. It makes a fast and delicious meal!
    Reply

  161. I love them all. My favorite is the garlic sauce to make sausage and peppers in my crockpot. After the main even, the leftover broth makes the base for a wonderful minestrone soup that my granddaughter requests whenever she's at my house. We use the dinner packs for hostess gifts, and people love them! The penne ala vodka with some shrimp tossed in at the last minute makes a great dinner in minutes.
    Reply

  164. I make veggie burgers that call for tomato sauce in the "dough" and I always use different ones for different flavors-the vodka would be killer!
    Reply

  178. I would love to try these with some spaghetti squash or use them to spruce up one of my many pasta dishes! The vodka sauce sounds incredible.
    Reply

  180. Wow - they all sound amazing! I would love to try the vodka sauce in a pasta dish. My husband recently came home from a business trip raving about vodka sauce he had in a restaurant, so I'd love to see how this compares. Yum!

  181. I would put it over pasta for our Sunday pasta dinners. Also I would pour it over Italian sausages in the crockpot. Yum!
    Reply

  193. All of your create your own pizzas have certainly inspired me. I would use the marinana sauce on a vegetable filled pizza. I would also love to try to garlic sauce on some pasta!
    Reply

  197. Well since I am not the fanciest cook – I would use it most likely on pasta, maybe chick parm. I could also make some garlic bread and use the marinara sauce for dipping. Flat bread pizza also sounds good.
    Reply

  198. Omg I need that sauce. I am a bit of a sauce fiend haha. I'd probably eat it out of the jar, to be honest. Or maybe I'll be more civilized and put it on some pasta and meatballs with veggies :)
    Reply

  204. I saw them at the HVCC craft fair recently! The vodka sauce was so delish!!! I want to make a baked ziti with it....vodka bake? Worth a shot! :)
    Reply

  205. I love vodka sauce but I can't find any canned kind that I like. Maybe Grandpa Pete's will win me over! I love it over penne pasta.

  209. mmm i would love to try grandpa pete's sauces! ever since the weather has started to get chilly, i've been meaning to make lasanga, and grandpa pete's marinara seems like it would be a great addition! : )

    Reply

  230. I bet that sauce would be great on a burger or with baked chicken. Though an egg veggie scramble w/ some sauce would be awesome too.
    Reply

  232. Hands down the best vodka sauce I have ever eaten. Everyone in my family will tell you that I hate jarred tomato gravy- just not as good as home. Well, this one has me bested. I cannot replicate the delicious creamy goodness of this sauce. My family will eat it on anything and fight to be the one to mop it up with bread. So good!!
    Reply

  235. Hmmm so many options! I would say my favorite way would be to mix them in with some spaghetti squash & veggies for a delicious spaghetti/veggie bake...probably with a little cheese too. YUUUMMM!! Kristen
    Reply

  240. I love love love the garlic sauce and vodka sauce. I use it all the time when I don't make my own sauce. All the ingredients are fresh and you can tell when you eat it. And the most important thing is its made local. Just got sauce from him at the garlic festival in Kingston ny recently. Would recommend to everyone!! :)

    Reply

  243. Oh man, I can eat red sauce on ANYTHING! Favorite is probably pizza, but most common is atop roasted (ok, or frozen/reheated) veggies + cheese.
    Reply

  244. I'm Italian so I am particular when it comes to jarred sauce, I would LOVE to try a delicious one and I trust your opinion :) I love enjoying red sauce with big rigatoni pasta shells, or vodka sauce with little whole wheat penne. YUM!
    Reply

  245. Baked Ziti, hands down! Can't get enough of it! I don't think I am physically capable of eating any type of pasta dish without sauce. It's a must for me! :)
    Reply

  250. I would love to use this on some hearty rigatoni pasta!! And also to dip some garlic bread in. A nice warm meal!! YUM!
    Reply

  251. This sauce is just like home made. I bought 2 jars @ the sag. Garlic fest and I was so sorry I did not buy more. Love the garlic sauce and the meat sauce. They have great stuff. Would love to win the 4 jars.
    Reply

  261. I just love the Vodka Sauce. I add shrimp and scallops to the vodka sauce and put over angle hair pasta. My kids don't like normal spaghetti sauce, until I purchased grampa petes vodka sauce. The love this sauce and even eat it as left overs.

  265. Currently obsessed with spaghetti squash and would love to put these sauces over a big batch with some veggies. Either that or I incorporate marinara in my veggie chili sometimes and it's always a hit!
    Reply

  266. Hi! I went to a wine show and this is where I was introduced to Grandpa Pete's! I make Chicken Riggies (an original upstate NY dish) and the Vodka Sauce is wonderful on them. The pizza sauce is amazing as a breadstick dipper as well as on flatbread pizza snacks. All of the sauces are great! I love using them! :o)
    Reply

  278. Ooh, I've never tried vodka sauce, but I hear it's amazing. And I'm a huge marinara person...pizza, dipped cheese, quesadillas, etc. A good marinara sauce is so versatile!!!
    Reply

  284. Hands down favorite use of marinara is in a spaghetti squash bake--way healthier than pasta and doesn't leave me immobile from carb overload for the next 3 hours : )
    Reply

  288. honestly, i can put marinara sauce on just about any carb or veggie. i'm running low on groceries, so last night i had toast with marinara after the gym. simple and delicious :)
    Reply

  290. I'm chewing on a big piece of pizza right now - so I would have to say I would try his sauce on my homemade pizza.
    Reply

  300. To bring out the flavors of the sauce, I think it's best served over a helping of angel hair pasta! (w/ a nice hunk of garlic bread on the side!) ;)
    Reply

  301. I have never really ventured far out with sauces, Just a Ragu kinda gal...So, since I see everyone commenting about how good the sauce would be with Pasta, I would love to give that a whirl! Plus I have been making homemade pizzas but just use spaghetti sauce. Here's to hoping my horizons are broadened! (My aunt used to say "Oh, Broaden your horizons" when I was little and didnt want to try new foods)
    Reply

  303. Lately I've been obsessed with cooking tomato sauce with vegetarian ground beef and eating it on top of spaghetti squash. Soooo good!
    Reply

  304. Spaghetti and meatballs is the first thing that came to mind! Or a wonderful baked ziti also sounds really good. With garlic bread to soak up the sauce! Yum!
    Reply

  306. While visiting the Hudson River valley a year ago (on our honeymoon) we discovered Grandpa Pete's Sauce/pasta at a crafts fair. We fell in love with it, and purchased some to cook at our rental house. We tried all 4 sauces over the pasta, and the dinner in a bag was exceptionally easy, and delicious. Upon coming back home to CA we mail ordered 4 dinners in a bag for our grown children for Xmas gifts. Then we ordered all the sauces to give as gifts to special friends - of course, we got some for us too! Besides over pasta, we put it on flatbread for an easy pizza. It is BY FAR the best marinara sauce we've ever tasted. We're so glad we visited that craft fair! My thoughts are already going to giving Grandpa Pete's for Christmas again, as it arrived carefully and well-packed. It was a joy to all who received it!

  333. I would love to try Grandp Pete's sauce! Thanks for the awesome give-away. I recently began reading your blog and now I look forward to reading it everyday :)

  345. I have a wonderful friend upstate NY (Ghent) who works part time at The Berry Farm in Chatham, NY, and she surprises me with a "goodie" package of yummy treats. Not long ago she sent me a jar of Grandpa Pete's Garlic Sunday Sauce. What can I say? It was fantastic and I used it in several ways. One night for dinner I used it to make my Chicken Parmigiana with a side dish of pasta. Then the next night I used some of it to make Pizza Muffins. I would love to try more of Grandpa Pete's Sunday Sauces since sadly none are sold in my area.

  346. I like to enjoy them by making spaggetti and meatballs w/ garlic bread and inviting my brother in law and his wife over to enjoy a nice dinner with my husband and I! Seasidesmitten@aol.com

  348. I made a recent switch to wheat pasta so I think the vodka sauce would be just the right thing to try on the wheat pasta.
    Reply

  350. Bought 3 jars of Grandpa Pete's at the Chester Craft Fair in NJ last year. I should have bought more. It was good to the last drop. Is there a law against running your finger inside the jar and then licking your finger? That's also a great way to "serve" Grandpa Pete's. I should know.
    Reply

  354. Love the Vodka sauce, straight up on pasta, grilled Italian bread and spooned right out of the jar...you know it's good if you can spoon it right out of the jar, yummy!
    Reply

  358. Especially as the weather turns colder, pasta and marinara for dinner sounds so good! I have also been craving homemade pizza in the WORST way lately, so this would be the perfect excuse!
    Reply

  363. Grandpa Pete's is some of the yummiest sauce I have ever eaten.... not over the top like some other sauce makers, it's just right.
