Doin It Right and Another Favorite Things Birthday Give Away


O....K.....!!! So tomorrow is my birthday and after the MESS that I was last weekend after consuming gluten at a bridal shower, I requested a gluten free birthday cake from my new favorite cookbook, Make It Paleo. Well of course my husband was more than happy to oblige except, since it was going to be my birthday tomorrow, I sort of couldn't wait.  I (as in ME, ME, ME) wanted to be the one to make the first gluten free cake in our house.  I just KNEW it was going to be incredible after all the WONDERFUL deliciousness I've made from this out-of-this-world cookbook.  Yep, I was right!  Check out that little slice of heaven (click on pic to enlarge).  Happy Birthday To Me!!!  This cake is moist, decadent, creamy and most importantly 100% gluten free.  Click HERE for the recipe, or better yet, click HERE to buy the book.  Or even better YET....  leave a comment on this post for a chance to win one for FREE!!!!  

That's right gang!!!  ITS MY BIRTHDAY and OF COURSE I have to have a "My Favorite Things Give Away"!!!  This cookbook definitely gets the first place marker on my list of favorite things this year.  It has over 200 recipes and more than 500 color photos!!!  This cookbook has single-handedly turned my entire diet 180 degrees to the right and I SO want to share it with all of you!  So leave a comment here with a way to contact you when you win.  You will have from right now until April 30th to enter.  I will choose a random winner on April 30th, 2012 and announce the winner on this blog May 1st, 2012.  Good luck everyone... I know you will love this cookbook as much as I do.

*** for the coconut cake recipe I substituted half of the maple syrup in the recipe for half a cup of coconut nectar.

MY VERY FIRST CRICUT CARTRIDGE GIVE AWAY!

Ok ... so the time has come. I've got some BRAND NEW, NEVER BEEN USED, STILL IN THE PLASTIC Cricut Cartridges to give away over the next couple of months and it starts with one of my ALL-TIME FAVORITES...... Hannah Montana! YAY! I LOVE this cartridge! It's got the most beautiful guitar images along with musical notes and FIVE fonts! I used the regular font and the rock star font to create my Father's Day card this year (see above). I also used the Hannah Montana cart (see below) to create a beautiful butterfly (FREE Gypsy cut file HERE ), and am currently working on a project using the gorgeous solitaire diamond. There's a rose and lips and decorative hearts, even a Pegasus ! There's just so much on this cartridge.... I use it a lot! To call this a "font" cartridge is terribly misleading. It's been a long time favorite and now I'm THRILLED to be able to give it away to one of my awesome readers! So here's how to win: Become one of my follower...
