Neat giveaway. I've never heard of Scentsy before. They have a lot of neat looking stuff on the website. I like the sound of the Cinnamon Vanilla. The warmers are neat too - I don't like the idea of burning candles, so they sound much safer.

Speaking of amazing, you  are going to want to go ahead and make this Orzo Alfredo with Bacon and Peas right away. I came across the recipe on A Whisk and A Prayer, who found it on Food and Wine Magazine. It's so creamy and buttery and the combination of peas and bacon is so delicious, even though I'm not a huge bacon lover. I really like using Orzo pasta for a change too. Do yourself a favor and double this recipe when you make it because you are definitely going to want more and more and more.
