Enter MBE's Mary's Secret Ingredients Spring 2015 Box GIVEAWAY

Last Fall I had the opportunity to try something truly unique and new from Mary's Secret Ingredients a brand specializing in limited edition culinary surprise subscription boxes. I can't divulge exactly what's in the all-new Mary's Secret Ingredients Spring Box that ships on April 25, 2015. But what I can do is share with you the 7-item Fall 2014 culinary box I received last September so you can get a feel for the thought and quality that goes into curating these surprise giftbaskets designed especially for those who love to cook at all levels novice to home chef pro.

Citron Falksalt included in a past Mary's box, MommyBlogExpert.com

Every season more kitchen consumers are turning to adventurous Mary's Secret Ingredients to discover and sample new artisanal, international, gourmet, and natural products you might not know about otherwise. The company's limited edition boxes are offered just four times a year, once for each season.

You may be wondering what my favorite ingredient was in the first Mary's box I received last Fall. Without a doubt I'd have to say it was the 60 gram box of fanciful Falksalt Gourmet Flingsalt Citron Sea Salt from Cyprus and Sweden that you see pictured above. I've since used this unusual and flavorful salt to amp up a variety of dishes ranging from California Gucamole to Persian Chicken & Rice to Pistachio Chocolate Bark.

Also in that first Fall box was Harmonian Extra Virgin Olive Oil which my teen daughter used to prepare Indian Matar Keema, a ground meat with peas dish, served alongside another delicacy from India called Chaval (yellow rice).

Then for Winter 2014, this was the next Mary's Secret Ingredients Box...

As you can see from the past hidden treasure boxes and contents pictured throughout this post, you never know what you're going to get. But there is one thing for sure: delicious and beautiful looking food begins with off-the-beaten-path ingredients you'll find in every Mary's suprise cooking adventure box.

Breast Cancer BRCA Awareness Education

Health

The pink roses in the photo you see here represent all the women I know personally who have been affected by ovarian and/or breast cancer. Because these forms of cancer are unfortunately so prevalent, chances are that you also know one or more family members or friends that also have had direct experience with BRCA, the gene that can be the source of either of these devastating diseases.

MBE partnered with AstraZeneca and SheSpeaks for this story

What you may not know is that in the general population 1.4 percent of all women will be diagnosed with ovarian cancer at some point in their lives and of those nearly 50% have no family history of this disease. Since knowledge empowers us collectively, this post is all about BRCA basics and building awareness so we can valiantly fight this disease together.

What is BRCA?

BRCA1 and BRCA2, as they are known, are human genes involved with cell growth, cell division and cell repair. These genes are most commonly associated with BReast CAncer, however 15% of women with ovarian cancer also have BRCA gene mutations and 40% of women with BRCA 1/2 mutations will be diagnosed with ovarian cancer in their lifetimes.

More Facts about BRCA

Women with BRCA gene mutations have an increased risk of developing ovarian cancer
BRCA gene mutations can play a key role in serous ovarian cancer, the most common form of ovarian cancer
Almost 50% of women with ovarian cancer who are BRCA-positive have no significant family history of either breast or ovarian cancer

Who Should Get Tested for the BRCA gene?

Clinical practice guidelines recommend all women with epithelial ovarian cancer be considered for BRCA testing. The test, which involves a simple blood test or saliva sample, is quick and easy. Best of all the testing for women with a diagnosis of ovarian cancer is covered not only by Medicare and Medicaid but by most private health insurance companies, too. Keep in mind that certain mutations in BRCA 1 or BRCA2 can affect how you and your oncologist decide to manage ovarian cancer.

#beBRCAware
Retweet this post to share and empower others about the BRCA gene and the role it plays in ovarian cancer. Note: This story, which is intended to provide useful information to the ovarian cancer community, is not a substitute for medical advice and women are encouraged to communicate directly with their doctors for specific treatment options.

Now is the perfect time show support

for women battling ovarian cancer
