$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.

Carby goodness, huh? Well, this time of the year I adore sugar cookies made with almond extract that just have sugary sprinkles on them, no frosting. I also love pretzels dipped in almond bark with sprinkles.
Mmm… carbs and free money. Merry Christmas indeed.
(And just realized the two times I tried to comment from my phone didn't work.)
Have you ever tried buttermilk syrup? It is heavenly on all those carby things. Yum! (sarahrebeccachapman at gmail dot com)
I can't get enough of pretzel rolls from Costco. So delicious.
This is yummy and easy! http://iowagirleats.com/2012/08/16/cheesy-broccoli-orzo/
Our best bites cinnamon rolls. SO SO SO good.
I need a carb vacation!
Janssen! I don't know if you'll remember me, but I thought I would say hello. I was roommates with Kristy Robinson and a peer mentor with all the other FRAC folks, and now Katie and Jensen Warnock are my neighbors! Katie and I just did some post-Christmas deal shopping together tonight, in fact. Anyway, you and your blog are lovely. 🙂
Your healthy no bake cookies!

Thanks for the simple easy giveaway. I'd love to check out the crispy bacon tomato recipe but it linked me to walmart's ad instead. Oh well, the rest look awesome!!

I think the Crispy Bacon and Tomato sounds absolutely delicious! I'm definitely going to try it out!
I love to double up on the carbs and have both pizza AND alfredo pasta!

Christmas time Cinnamon Rolls. The recipe from Our Best Bites is my fave!
Your blog is so cute. Love your book ideas.
PS Of course we don't know each other, but we have a mutual friend, "C." from SmallDog.
Ah! Thank you for the pizza recipes! Tyler and I both agreed that homemade pizza is on the menu for this week, and it's always fun to try something new!
I love your blog! I found it through my brother, Ben Crowder, and now I always read it. I could always use a GC to Walmart! 🙂
Thanks for making it simple to enter!
