Let's make cookies

Best way to cope with all the holiday hub-bub? Make some cookies!

That's what I did -- and guess what? You can too because I have a giveaway! HOORAY!

The super nice people at Betty Crocker sent me a super neato gift pack through the other super nice people at MyBlogSpark.

But that's not the best news. The best news is that they have another one for one lucky reader of the MAMGL blog! Yessirree!

Look at all the cool things included in this little giveaway!

I whipped up the cookies recently. Simple. And yummy.

It took some explaining before Cooper understood what molasses was. But once he tasted the cookies, he was a fan. So were the Captain and Jordan. The cookies didn't last long.

And did I mention I looked so cute in my little Betty Crocker apron?

Wanna' win one of these great little prize packs so you can eat some yummy molasses cookies and look adorable in your own apron? Sure you do.

All you have to do is leave a comment telling me how much you love molasses cookies. Or how making these cookies will help ease your holiday stress. Or just say Merry Christmas.

So, go ahead and leave a comment. I will use Random.org to select a winner so
it's fair and all. Hurry! Giveaway ends Sunday and the winner will be announced Monday.

Oh - and please make sure I have a way to contact you if you don't have a blog or email address or I don't know where you live already or whatever. OK? Thanks.

This giveaway is only open to U.S. entrants. No purchase necessary. Void where prohibited by law. I was provided a gift pack for myself and also one for this review and giveaway. All the other legal business blah blah blah stuff.

Many thanks to MyBlogSpark & Betty Crocker for this Giveaway Opportunity!

Let's eat!

I love cereal. All kind of cereal. In fact, I've never met a cereal I didn't like.

When I was pregnant with Cooper, I couldn't get enough cereal. Seriously people, I would push my buggy down the cereal aisle and just dump box after box into my buggie.

Today, I still love cereal.

I've got my safe, conservative favorites like Cheerios and Chex.

Then I've got my wild and crazy (yet still nutritious) faves like Lucky Charms and Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

Yummers.

Do you like cereal? Want some?

I have 3 (count 'em THREE!) coupons for a box of General Mills cereal.

Want to win one of them?

Just leave me a comment telling me your favorite General Mills cereal. Easy peasy lemon squeezey.

I'll draw three winners (Three winners people!!) on Monday, February 1. And yes, I'll use Random.org so I don't have to go Eeeny Meeny Miney Mo.

This giveaway was provided by General Mills through MyBlogSpark. Aren't they nice?

Monday Miscellany

It's Monday. And it's a holiday. But I still have to work. And that stinks.

But it's also....my mom's birthday! Happy Birthday Mom!!

Thanks to everybody who entered my first ever giveaway. The winner of the "Tackle the Taste" gift pack is ... Just Mom from Just Mom's Musings! {cue applause} (Just Mom - I will be sending you an email with details on how you will get your prize.) Thanks again to Old El Paso and MyBlogSpark for the goodies!

Are your teams still in the play-offs? I'm still pulling for the Saints. But next week will be a doozie (doozy?) of a game. The Vikings were pretty impressive yesterday when they (cough cough) BEAT THE COWBOYS. Anyhoo, I don't really care about the other game, so I'm on the Saints or Vikings train all the way to the Super Bowl.

In other news, my dryer is on its last leg. That's bad news people. Because even though there are four people who live in this house, we generate the laundry of 18 people. I know that doesn't compute. I can't explain it. So it looks like a new dryer in my future. Yeah, I've got an extra $500 laying around.

OK people. That's all I've got on this lovely Monday.

Peace Out.

It's a giveaway! It's a giveaway!

Hooray! Hooray! I have a giveaway!

And it has to do with two of my most favoritest things evah.

Football.

And food.

The super nice people at Old El Paso sent me a "Tackle the Taste" gift pack through the other super nice people at MyBlogSpark.

But that's not the best news. The best news is that they have another one for one lucky reader of the MAMGL blog!

Yessirree!

Just look at the cool things included in this gift pack:
A ceramic football-shaped serving platter (soooo cute!) two free cans of Old El Paso green chiles, two sets of football-themed plates, cocktail napkins, and a themed table runner.

Now, you know that the big Super Bowl is coming up in a few weeks. And everybody will be watching and eating. And this "Tackle the Taste" prize pack is just what you need to spice up your Super Bowl party. Seriously people. Your guests will oooh and ahhh when they see the cutey football themed stuff.

Wanna' win?

Please leave a comment for your chance to win. You can either tell me (1) Who is your pick for the Super Bowl or (2) Your favorite recipe using Old El Paso green chilies.

Simple as that.

What? You wanna' know my pick and my favorite recipe?

Of course you do....

I'm going with the New Orleans Saints.

And it's actually quite hard to narrow it down to just one recipe because I'm a little obsessed with cooking with green chilies. But I sure do love me some chicken enchiladas or a yummy dip. Because we all know that dip = blissdom.

So, go ahead and leave a comment. I will use Random.org to select a winner so it's fair and all. Hurry! Giveaway ends January 17 and the winner will be announced Monday, January 18.

Oh - and please make sure I have a way to contact you if you don't have a blog or email address or I don't know where you live already or whatever. OK? Thanks.
