Earlier in the week, Finlandia sent me a free coupon good on any of their cheeses for the purposes of a review. I checked the store locator on their website, which told me I could find it at Fred Meyer. So I handed Jai the coupon and asked if he could pick it up for me while he was out running errands. He couldn’t find the cheese anywhere in the store, so he asked an employee, who told him that their store had stopped carrying Finlandia months ago. There’s no other stores in our area that carry this brand, so since we won’t be able to use this coupon, I decided to pass it on to one of you who can. One Super Coupon Girl reader will win a coupon good for one free 1/2 lb of any Finlandia cheese, so read on!
Finlandia Recipes
Finlandia emailed me a hamburger recipe that I thought I’d share in case the winner of this giveaway wants to try it with their free cheese:
Finlandia Double Gloucester Burger with Russian Dressing
Created by Chef Ariane Duarte
Serves 6
2 lb ground chuck
1oz (package) onion soup mix
1 egg beaten
2t Worcestershire sauce
2t hot sauce
3/4c rolled oats
1/4t black pepper
12 slices Finlandia Double Gloucester
6 burger buns of your choice
2T melted butter
Mix first 5 ingredients all together. Form into 6 patties. Pressing your thumb print into each patty after they are formed. Heat grill to med-high and place patties on grill. Grill on one side for about 7 minutes and flip once for another 7 minutes or until the temperature you desire. Add 2 slices of cheese to each burger and allow to melt while brushing buns with butter. Then place the buns on the grill butter side down for about 30 seconds, just enough to warm. Smear some Russian dressing on bun, next add the burger and if you like lettuce, tomato and onion and pickles.
Russian Dressing
1/2c mayo
1/3c ketchup
1T red wine vinegar
1T grated onion
1Tchopped parsley
Mix all together. Refrigerate.

Waiting for the arrival of the big coastal storm. Thinking it won’t be near as bad as they were predicting.
We plan to shop today
I’ve been craving a nice havarti grilled cheese sandwich lately…
Hi, Beeb! Sorry to hear about your knee. I wish you lived closer to Portland…I’m in need of a couponing buddy. My friends don’t get my couponing at all!
I wouldn’t mind melting Finlandia’s cheese in a heated bath of beer for a pseudo-Welsh rarebit. Such a sauce would be nice on top of a medium rare hamburger.
Hope to win!
