What I Ate Today - And I'm Having a Giveaway!

I'm having a giveaway, which starts tonight...but first...

I always enjoy reading the "What I Ate Today" posts...
so here is what I ate today.

oatmeal for breakfast

A Sunshine Burger (always my purchased burger of choice) with salad on the side. On top of my burger was a version of Heather's (from Where's the Beach?) Vegan Spinach and Sundried Tomato Dip.

I sadly didn't have any spinach so I substituted broccoli. I also didn't have any basil. So this is how mine turned out. I liked it! Definitely a fun topper for a veggie burger, besides being a yummy dip. I'm always up for a good artichoke recipe.

My lunch plate doesn't always look so pretty.
We're really not that fancy around here.

I had a brownie for a snack.

At some point, I also had a few little bites of the kids' dried mango, but I didn't get a picture of that.

For supper I cooked the spaghetti squash that my parents picked up for me at the farmers' market. I added tomato sauce (365 brand Organic Pasta Sauce) and a can of Eden brand organic Aduki beans. And of course, a little Daiya. This isn't my plate. It's the main serving dish; just letting you know in case you were frightened by the size of my meal.

And now for the giveaway!

I am doing this on my own to celebrate my new blog and how much fun it has been already. (I have loved getting to know all of you better through your comments and your blogs!).

Up for grabs: a bag of Mrs. May's Cashew Crunch, a box of Nature's Path: Pumpkin Flax Plus Granola, a pack of Natural Desserts Strawberry Jel mix, a box of Natural Desserts Instant Vanilla Pudding mix, an 8 oz. bag of Nutiva Shelled Hempseeds, a pack of B-Fresh Bubble Gum, Barbara's Bakery Vanilla Snackimals Animal Cookies, Sea's Gift Roasted Seaweed Snack, earnest eats baked whole food bar, a trial size of Justin's Chocolate Peanut Butter Blend, and a bag of Bare Fruit organic dried mangos.



I just grabbed a few vegan snack foods & treats that I thought would be lightweight and easy to ship. Hopefully, there is something here that interests you.


Will I ship overseas? Yes, to some places. If you win and you are overseas, I'll check to see, depending on where you are located. If I have to, maybe I'll switch things up a bit, to make it fit in a smaller envelope. But I'll make sure you get something fun!


To enter, you just have to be a follower on Google Friend Connect. If you're not a follower, click on the Follow button on the right side of my blog. Leave a comment, something along the lines of "Enter me." (If your follower profile has a different name or no link, please make sure I know who you are - I hate it when I can't visit a new follower's blog because I can't tell who it is.)


Add another entry if vegan and so forth is on your blog list.


For TWO EXTRA entries, mention this giveaway on your blog or on Twitter and leave the link for me on two more separate comments.


I'll choose a random number Tuesday evening, July 27.


Will I ship overseas? Um...not sure yet. I'll let ya know that one tomorrow. I honestly have no earthly idea how much it costs to ship overseas. If it's an extra ten bucks, sure - an extra twenty or more, I can't. :( I'll edit this part tomorrow.


Thanks for playing along!

  13. I'm a follower on google and I hope you'll decide to ship because I'm from the Netherlands and I've only read about these product on vegan blogs - not being able to buy them in my country.
