$50 Gift Card Giveaway
[This contest is closed; congrats to Andrea!]
You know what I hardly ever do on my blog? (Write a sentence without a dash, semicolon, ellipses or all three. . . (I also do not under-use parentheses)). Do giveaways.
Obviously, that lead-in lets you know that THIS will be giveaway post (the title might have been a bit of a hint too, I’m guessing).
Along with an enormous box of flatbreads (which are pretty much my new favorite thing as I’ve given up cooking dinner for Lent because of our new baby, preferring to spend all my cooking energy making as many cookies, scones, and other carbs as I possibly can), Flatout gave me a $50 gift card to Walmart to giveaway.
I dislike hoops for giveaways and I REALLY dislike when giveaways force you to be a follower on Twitter/Pinterest/Google Friend Connect/Facebook/Name Your Social Media Tool of Choice, so just leave a comment about any old thing you want (if you need an idea, why don’t you tell me what recipes for carby-carby goodness you recommend), and a winner will be selected at random.
Also, if you happen to actually be making dinner instead of cookies, here are some pizza recipes I’d highly recommend:
- Zucchini
- Pesto and Goat Cheese
- Greens and Cheese Flatbread Wraps
- Crispy Bacon and Tomato
- Grilled Peach and Prosciutto
Giveaway Rules: Must be 18 years of age and live in the U.S. Ends 12/31/2012 at midnight CST.

Awesome! Baked mac and cheese is my carby recipe of choice lately. 🙂
Ooh, I can't top the homemade mac and cheese.
Monkey Bread!
mmmm pizza.
Yummy — I've never met a carb I didn't like! But I agree, that mac n cheese sounds really good!!
Awesome! I hope you guys have a good, warm Christmas there. We drove through -2 degrees yesterday. And now as a true Texan, I was literally in shock.
oooh. carbs. i love carbs. i'm emailing you the world's best breadstick recipe. and yes, you can make it 100% whole wheat. YES.
I always like chocolate chip cookies – never fail. Also, can we talk about Ani's cheeks? Awesome! I really love kissing on chubby baby cheeks!
Hooray for easy giveaways! One thing I'm avoiding making this year because I would never ever stop eating them is carmelitas. I made mine with homemade buttermilk caramel sauce and dark chocolate. Oh my heavens
winter calls for carb-load meals… I like anything that involves a lot of it, like mashed potato (sweet potato), squash puree, kabocha (my favorite), pasta, rice. 🙂
I love anything that involves an English Muffin 🙂
Love giveaways, but one that force me to follow certain things, half of the time I don't enter because it's quite annoying.
As for pizza recipes, goat cheese is my absolute favorite thing, so I will definitely be trying the Goat Cheese and Pesto one! Thanks for the recipes!
Here's my comment. As of today, I am 28 weeks (gestationally speaking)!
Merry Christmas
So glad you are enjoying that sweet baby and your holiday season. 🙂 I made a recipe for cinnamon rolls my sister gave me last week that I'm still drooling about. I may have to buy more bread flour just so I can make seven more batches (to, uh, give to neighbors).
Congrats on the new babe – when I was in the early post partum period, all I wanted was the easiest pasta dish I could make 🙂 laziness combined with nursing agony I guess
We are having monkey bread on Christmas morning and I can't wait!!
Sorry. No carb recommendations. What I am craving lately is anything citrus, especially clementines.
Christmas time calls for cookies:

My new favorite thing is to load my carbs with whipped flavored butters. Cinnamon honey butter and strawberry butter (mixed with seedless strawberry preserves) are my latest faves. Have a wonderful holiday season with your new bundle of joy!!
XOXO
I've been wanting to try the rustic white flatout flatbreads.
Thanks!
