Just another Manic Monday... woh woh... wish it were Sunday... As per usual, this weekend was a whirlwind of fun! I meant to be super industrious by editing the nine hundred food pictures I have and of course, write out the matching nine hundred blog posts that go with them (that's a lot of cooking!) but instead I played outside with Noodle, cooked and baked and hung out with friends.
I am super excited though, about a couple upcoming posts... they were delicious!
In the mean time, I have La Pure Mama's first giveaway, hooray for Manic Monday! Pass it on to your friends, enter yourself, do it all!
Here's the deal: the good folks at CSN contacted me about doing this giveaway for a $40 gift certificate good on one of their sites... Now, it just so happens that I just got some new Le Creuset cookware on their cookware.com site because by the luck of the draw, I won Jessie's giveaway over at The Messie Kitchen!
So go check them out... they have a lot of fun stuff on cookware.com. They also have a couple other sites: http://www.blogger.com/www.luxebycsn.com and http://www.blogger.com/www.allmodern.com, in case the lucky winner wants to (gasp!) spend their certificate on something other than cookware.
How do you enter? I'm so glad you asked because I'm going to tell you!
All you have to do is 'follow' this glorious La Pure Mama blog. See the 'people who like this' box in the right side column? It's down there a bit... Like all the pretty pictures? You'll be there too! So do that and then leave a comment here that you have done so. Also, in your comment? Tell me what you would use your gift certificate to buy! Oh, and if you are already one of my fantastical followers, thank you! And just leave me a comment letting me know and of course, what you would use your cert on. :)
But wait... that's not all! You want bonus points? I'll give you bonus points... for extra entries:
1. 'follow' La Pure Mama on Twitter and leave a comment that you did;
2. 'like' the La Pure Mama page on Facebook and leave a comment that you did; and/or
3. Leave another comment telling me what your favorite vegan or vegan(ish) or vegetarian dish is.
That is up to four entries to win this glorious prize!!
Now, the giveaway will be open until this Friday, August 20th at, let's say, 12:00, so go for it until then and on that day I will have a random number generator generate a random number and the corresponding comment will be our winner, hooray :)
Hooray, have fun and pass it on!!
More later...

ReplyDeleteMy favorite is Pasta Alla Norma. The eggplant is so filling and hearty, you can put almost any garden veggies in it, and the level of heat is really nice and warming too.
ReplyDeleteBest of luck with your giveaway Ellen. Glad your blog is doing so well. You deserve it.
ReplyDeleteBe good!
I would want some of the canning accessories, since I'm currently obsessed with canning.
ReplyDeleteI already like La Pure Mama on FB. I hope it counts for another entry:)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite veg dish is probably a good old classic garden salad (freshly picked from my garden, of course).
ReplyDeleteI'd get a new chef's knife. Or maybe a new cutting board. Or, or, or. Needless to say, I'd have no problems finding something to get :) Followed your blog!

ReplyDeleteIf I would win the certificate... Lets see, Le Creuset is my favorite - did you see they have a new color - dusty purple?! OH MY!!! Most likely I would buy a great cookie sheet.

I'm a salad-loving person so my favorite dish is the garden salad.
ReplyDeletelyndadawinda1074 at yahoo dot com
I'd use it toward a guidecraft kitchen helper. Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteI follow on gfc
Vegetables in coconut milk curry. Yum! You can never go wrong with coconut. :-)
ReplyDeleteHi, great blog! I 'liked' you on facebook! Thanks

ReplyDeleteI am also now following your blog. I would use the gift certificate towards or for a piece of le creuset cookware. I absolutely love it, but don't own any of my own, yet. Someday, someday...Thanks!
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to think of what my favorite vegan recipe is, although I'm not vegan I eat a lot of "meat-free" food- fresh salsa, hummus, big garden salad drizzled with balsamic vinegar, olive oil and a little sea salt. I also have found vegan recipes are easily adaptable for my son who has multiple allergies and intolerances. As a result, a lot of the gluten-free baked good recipes I come up with are vegan and delicious!
ReplyDeletegreat job guys! Keep the entries coming, one more day! :)
ReplyDeleteI'd put it towards a new comforter for my bed!

I am following you on here. I would use the certificate for a mandoline slicer! I know I am way behind on getting one but it would definitely make chop-work in the kitchen easier.
ReplyDeleteI also 'like' Le Pure Mama on Facebook.
ReplyDeleteAnd my favorite vegan dish is probably vegan chocolate mousse. Healthy, indulgent, and yummy. :)
