$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.
I am quite surprised by what I am about to write, but the impression is strong so here goes: If I win, pick again because I don't need to win a prize.
I just want to tell you that I am so glad I found your blog because I love to read and have recently moved and don't have a book club right now and I feel that I can trust your recommendations to be books of worth rather than books of smut.
Your daughters are BEAUTIFUL! (that is my favorite word to write in cursive)
Have a Merry Christmas
My current favorite carby recipe is for lasagna soup. I think my sister sent it to me on Pinterest and it is TO DIE FOR.
I join in the hoop-jumping dislike. Carb recommendations, have you tried super yummy garlic chicken pasta from our food blog? Yummy. The bacon makes the boys happy too.
yay!! I love giveaways! and I love your blog! I don't have any recipes…but I just want some tortilla chips with an amazingly gooey, delicious, dip. mmmmmmmm.
Thanks for the giveaway!! and mmmmm flatbreads 🙂
I love these caramels that I made this year. Simplest recipe yet, and SO good.

I doubled it, made it in a jellyroll pan, and probably ate far too many.
I've been sitting at home all day waiting for Fedex deliver a package. I keep thinking they will show up and I can finally leave the house, so I haven't done anything for dinner yet, but now all I can think about is delicious cheesy scalloped potatoes 🙂
Mmm, carbs. Here's the recipe for the cake batter pudding cookies I made for my exchange this year: http://www.chef-in-training.com/2011/10/cake-batter-pudding-cookies/ Super delicious!
I will happily comment to be entered into a giveaway. There, I commented. 🙂
Those flatbreads sound awesome, and we could all use a little easy.
Wow! A giveaway! Thanks for the pizza recipes. I love to make pizza 🙂
Cheesy, gooey garlic bread is my latest carb overload – the buttery, the better!
Awesome. This is exactly the kind of giveaway I like, and if I ever do one on my blog, I will follow your good example.
For extra carby goodness, try out this recipe. It was a big hit at our house. http://www.rhodesbread.com/blog/blog/braided-spaghetti-bread
Potato soup…yum!
I love the easy giveaways….and I think you have lots of great carb recommendations but for another one…almost any cookie dough eaten while children are sleeping tastes amazing! Here's a good Christmas-inspired recipe with chocolate and gingerbread from Martha http://www.marthastewart.com/339353/chewy-chocolate-gingerbread-cookies
Happy Holidays!
And if you want to make them a smidge healthier here's a tweaked version, http://www.cafejohnsonia.com/2011/12/two-favorite-christmas-cookies.html
I LOVE flatbreads, they are so tasty!! I wanted naan bread and got it today, so good!
My carb of choice lately has been biscuits (they go so well with winter soups)but since I got the recipe from your blog, I'm guessing I don't need to leave you the link. 🙂
I enjoy your book recommendations… both for kids and me!
My mom used to make caramel dumplings from scratch on the stove — and while I don't know the recipe (and I don't even think she does, since she makes them without thinking), it's what I thought of when you said "carby goodness." 🙂 Thanks for the giveaway!
Carbs are my speciality and my weakness.
We have a family favorite dubbed "Yummy Rolls" that my mom came up with when she was feeding breakfast to eight kids – four of them bottomless teenage boys. Roll out a rectangle of your favorite biscuit dough, spread on a little softened butter, sprinkle on brown sugar and cinnamon and roll it up and slice it like you would cinnamon rolls. Bake according to biscuit time and temp. They're best eaten warm and dunked in cold milk or hot chocolate. My mom's biscuit dough was made with half all-purpose and half soft white wheat flour so it filled us up well. I make these for my little family often and for my childhood best friend every time we get together. Tastes like home for us both.
Congratulation on beautiful Ani!
