Giveaway: Banana Bread, Cookies, and Pancakes

If you love Free Stuff, raise your hand. And clap. And click here.

Wait, come back! *Whew* Thought I’d lost ya. Now scroll down to see the goodies I have for a lucky winner here at this site.

Because I like Free Stuff.

And I like…. FOOD.

If you don’t like food, you can just leave this site right now. This giveaway is not for you.

To those of you who are left: Do you like BANANA BREAD?

 

Do you like CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES?

 

Do you like PANCAKES?

Do you like eating healthy (or maybe just healthIER)?

 

And now… (drumroll), do you like eating GOOD, HEALTHY (or healthIER) food, THAT SOMEONE ELSE HAS PREPARED FOR YOU?

Now go back a half-step. Because I’m not actually baking these things for you. But I WILL put together the mixes! All you have to do is provide the perishables, stir in the dry mix, and plop in a loaf pan, cookie sheet, or griddle.

And these are not any dry mixes. They follow the Natural Household Standard of substituting half the white flour for whole wheat four (That’s as far as my husband will allow me to go… for now. Someday we’ll get up to 100% whole wheat flour… someday).

SO.

All you have to do to enter is leave a comment. A random number generator will provide me with the winning commenter’s place in line. And I will mail you THREE dry mixes. One for banana bread, one for pancakes, and one for chocolate chip cookies.

You do not have to have a blog to enter. You may not enter twice. You may enter even if you live overseas (WILL SHIP TO CHINA!).

Go ahead and make your comment as interesting as possible. Tell me why you deserve to win. Not because it will increase you odds (the random number generator has no sympathy), but because reading your comments gives me something fun to do while I sit here nursing my baby boy.

Winner will be chosen SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 4th. At some point. Before midnight. Hopefully. And the mixes will be mailed out the following week. Be sure to leave a way to contact you (email address!). Now go enter more giveaways!

Thanks for sharing your heart, your ideas and love for the Lord. Its encouraging to read . Anyhow - thanks for the free goodie offer! I hope I win!!

  4. Ooh! Goodies! Except… my husband’s allergic to bananas. I’m sure he’d appreciate the rest of the goodies though, and I KNOW I would. Hey, I might even save you shipping costs, if I win ;-)

  5. Oh YUM. I’ve been sitting here drooling while you talk about banana bread for weeks now. I think the random generator should pick me, because I’m too lazy to make my own bread!
    If I don’t win I’ll have to figure it out I guess. But it would be more fun to win!
    Oh, I know why it should pick me. Because I CAN’T make pancakes from scratch. I really can’t. they come out nasty. They never taste right, and my family loves to eat pancakes.
    So random generator, have sympathy on ME!!!

  100. Hi! What a creative giveaway idea! Count me in! Congrats on your little guy! Mine is now 15 months! Time sure flies! I remember when all I did was sit and nurse him! I kind of miss those days! He is still nursing but he is always up and running around too!

  101. I would love to try these mixes! Count me in please.

  102. How fun are you?! I want it!

  103. Sounds sooo yummy! Count me in.

  104. So after reading all the great reasons why your random number generator should pick them, I feel guilty entering the drawing. Sure THEY deserve it more than ME. But, alas, I am selfish and I want Beth Mixes. Feel free to mail yourself as well.

  105. DH and I love yummy food, but more than that I love when it is easy to make, and more than that… it is hard to find both since we have omitted hydrogenated oils and high fructose corn syrup. :) I love your idea of healthy things. :) I try to add at least some wheat flour to everything (well, not the things that don’t call for flour), at least I did before this weekend when I think I used the last of it. :)

    I’d love to be entered! Spend a couple extra minutes with your baby today. :)

  106. What a neat Prize! I’m in!

  107. Great Giveaway! My husband LOVES banana bread, count me in please!

  116. I love trying to make things healthier in my house! I sneak veggies into almost ANYTHING!!!
    I would love to try your mixes!
    Have a great day!

  117. Great giveaway!! We have done the 1/2 white 1/2 for awhile now. Those picky kids and hubby can tell if I do more!! Now I am pureeing veggies to sneak in. shhhh…

  118. Oh, yum! Count me in! Thanks!

  119. Yummy! I hope I get to taste them!

  120. Yes to all of above.
    Please put my name in the hat.

  121. Oooh, I’ve been wanting to try something like this! We are only allowed the half wheat/half white mix around here, too!

  122. Yes, yes, and yes! Please enter me — they sound yummy!

  123. The mix sounds great, I will be nursing again soon (this week I am going to have another little girl). Just stopped with my other one 3 months ago. I could use the help in the kitchen.

  124. My 5-yr. old son has LOVED banana bread since he was 1. Many of my friends make it for him, but I never have. Isn’t that awful? I’m a healthnut and I grind my own grain, and I just have never done it. So………I’d love to make some for my son without actually making it! The entire family loves pancakes! And…they’ll never know there was a 3rd mix. That will be my secret!!!!!!

  125. Banana Bread and chocolate chip cookies yum. Something to eat while nursing my 3 month old girl.

  126. YUMMY! add me, please.

    blessings,
    karla

  127. I’ve been trying to get more whole grains into my family - this would help convince them that it would taste good. Great giveaway!

  132. Oh these look fab!! I’d love to win - thanks!!

  133. Guess what? I love food too! :)

  134. I appreciate the healthiness - I hope I win!

  135. Oooo these look so good! I’m all about substituting half white/half wheat. And not having to measure out the dry ingredients, even better!!

  136. Hi! My name is Eden. Like you, I am a mommy that would love for her family to eat healthier. Count me in, please.

  137. Does having 7 children and needing a break (even just a small one) in the kitchen boost my chances?! ;-) Tossing in my comment for a chance…

  138. I’ve already switched 1/2 the white to wheat flour in most of what I bake, but I never thought about doing that in cookies. I’d love to win these, both for my daughter and for me because we’re still nursing and I’m still trying to eat healthy for her.

  139. sign me up!!!

  140. I am all about baked goods that are all natural — no high fructose corn syrup or partially hydrogenated oil — so these mixes would be great! My kids would be in seventh heaven knowing they have a pancake breakfast to look forward to!

  141. Yum, Yum!

  142. why do i deserve to win? hmmm…because i’m lazy? no, just kidding. i LOVE baking, but don’t get to do enough of it. it would be awesome to have a head start!

  143. I am baking-challenged so it would be very nice to win this :)!

  144. Great! We love the 50/50% flour here!

  145. Ooo, I’d love to win that!

  146. This sounds fabulous! just what I need! please enter me in this wonderful drawing!
    Thank you so much and be blessed!

  147. Sounds delicious! Please enter me!

  148. This is fabulous, please count me in:-)

    I would love to win, because I have two family members with dietary needs on opposite ends of the spectrum, but these mixes sound like something they could BOTH eat! We need to try the mixture of flours!

  149. Sounds great! And any chance you’d post the mix recipe, in the highly likely event that I don’t win? (Or do you just use “regular” recipes and just sub in the whole wheat?) I’ve been working on using whole wheat flour more often. Cook’s Illustrated had a great recipe for Buttermilk Pancakes using whole wheat flour…

  150. Yum!!!

  151. Okay, I deserve to win because I am a 30 year old mom of 7 who homeschools one of them and is building a house, all while nursing a baby and chasing a toddler! So, your mixes would be WONDERFUL for me and my family. My hubby would appreciate some yummies, too.

  152. Looks delicious!

  153. I love making recipes with wheat flour, but I need to remember to do it more often! I really hope to win these and try your mixes!

  154. Oh yum! I would love to win these, I’m always looking for ways to get my brood to eat healthier!

  155. They all sound so good! Enter me please!

  156. count me in!

  157. What fun. I love mixes, they are so much easier than cook from scratch and these sound so yummy. Thanks for giving us the chance to win.

  158. Happy nursing! I’ll try to be amusing. :)

    I love to bake, dislike baking from cheap and unhealthy mixes, and don’t often have the time to put together baked goods completely from scratch. So quite frankly, my family would love you if your random number generator just happened to run a bunch of times until my number came up. Not that you’d do something like that. I’m just sayin’. ;)

  159. Sounds delish!

  160. YUMMY!! 3 of my favorites & healthier . . . works for me! Count me in! Good luck everyone!

    Happy Monday!

    Jennifer :-)

    Thanks!!

  182. i would LOVE mixes of extra yummy stuff - what a terrific idea!

    Thanks!

  208. I love all 3 ! Count me in !!!!

  209. My DH loves banana bread. I do not. So if I win this would be a happy day for him. And if he is happy, well, perhaps that would make the rest of us (or at least me) a little happier. So there, choose me for marital harmony.

  210. We should all try to eat healtier.

  211. I’d love to win your mixes. They look delicious! Thanks.
