Newman's Own Organic Giveaway

Well first I need to show you what I had for breakfast this morning...

Those are sweet potato pancakes. I swear those are the best pancakes I have ever eaten and it was so simple. I did 1 cup of Kodiak Cakes flapjack mix, 1/2 cup of pureed sweet potato, 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, and a cup of water.

Plus some butter, pure maple syrup, and a sprinkle of powdered sugar.

If you can find that mix splurge and get some! It's unreal...

Alright now for the giveaway. Like I said in my last post, Sally over at NOO sent me a big box of goodies. The squirrel loved the goodies box it came in.

She tried a couple of things and is already a fan of NOO.


Here are some more fans...

A couple of you asked how I got the box o' stuff. Well I was looking for the new chocolate bars in my area and couldn't find them. I emailed NOO to see if they could direct me where to find them. Sally emailed me back and offered to send me some samples. That's it!


So here's what your box includes:


  • Champion Chip Orange Chocolate Chip Cookies
  • Lowfat Fig Newmans
  • Newman-O's Hint O'Mint
  • Mocha Milk Chocolate
  • Milk Chocolate
  • Dark Chocolate
  • Original Hermits (soft cookies)
  • Organic California Raisins
  • Protein Pretzels
  • Peppermints
  • Gingermints


And here's how to enter!
Just like last time... Well sort of.

#1 - Leave a comment telling me which product you'd be most excited to try.
#2 - Link back to this post and leave a SEPARATE comment telling me you did so.

#3 - Become a follower of my blog ONLY because you want to! Not to get another entry (but you do get one more entry)! Then leave me a comment saying you're a follower. If you are already following then just tell me you are!
I was trying to think of a 3rd entry but couldn't come up with one so I had to use this lame one... But I guess it gives you loyal followers an extra entry!

The squirrel will pick a winner on February 28th! By using the random number generator.
