$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.

What a great giveaway! Thanks!
Haha, my kind of giveaway! I always get sucked into following all kinds of crazy stuff for entries. Happy Holidays to you and yours! (mer.marty@yahoo.com)
I think you should win something just for making this an easy giveaway! That's why we love you 🙂 Anyway, I've really never tried my hand at homemade pizza because I'm sooo lazy but now I'm tempted to try!
Thanks for hosting a giveaway! This time of year all I want is carbs, too. I blame the weather.
Thanks for an easy-to-enter giveaway! I've been reading your blog for most of the year, but this may be my first time to comment…I'm kind of a lurker. I hope you have a merry Christmas!
Brilliant giveaway! As for carbs, if there are potatoes or pasta involved, we're happy. But when it comes to the gift card, I would be either spending it on my friend who is currently home with an almost 4 year old and a new baby, or giving it to her outright. Fingers crossed.
Awesome giveaway! I saw Merrick at story time at the Provo library before she moved. I told her to tell you hi for me, so hopefully she did! Congrats again on your new baby! My favorite carb lately is pizza so I'm going to look into the links you posted.
Sweet! I like your style of a give-away! I hope you and Bart have a very Merry Christmas!!
I actually have a book recommendation for you: When It Happens To You by Molly Ringwald. It's gotten a little buzz, but it's a seriously good book. I picked it up because I like her, but she's a legitimately good writer. Now, maybe she has a ghostwriter, but her personality (at least what we see in movies and TV) shows through.
This is a sad post. there are no pictures of your adorable little girls. Congrats on little Ani by the way!
a great and versatile giveaway! i am craving some cinnamon buttery pull-apart bread right now.
Thanks for the giveaway opportunity. Congratulations on your new baby and Happy Holidays to you and yours.
Pick me! Merry Christmas!
My homemade whole wheat bread!
I hope there will be enough carbs left for everyone else when I am done with them. <3
yay for no lame hoops to jump through. Sadly, we have wheat allergies in our house, so not very many yummy carbs around here (oh how I miss pizza!). We do love your green enchiladas and Mel's Kitchen Cafe red enchiladas though. We'll be having both within the next week because apparently enchiladas scream Christmas spirit to me.
Merry Christmas!
I recently made these little slice of Heaven cookies. We devoured the entire batch in 24 hours. They taste wonderful and look really fancy and cute sitting in your kitchen.

Fun giveaway and love that no strings are attached!
Chocolate Chip cookies sound amazing right now! I might have to go whip up a batch to satisfy that craving. If anyone asks, the baby wants them ;o)
Enjoy reading your blog. My granddaughter is about the same age as Ella, so I like the recommendations on books you post, and have ordered a few. Your new baby is beautiful. Enjoy these moments with her. They grow up so quickly. 🙂
