Favorite Things Ultimate Christmas Giveaway

By Kelly · 18 Comments

holiday-giveaway

This giveaway has ended. But you can still check out my top-rated cookbook, Everyday Grain-Free Baking, and try out several of the recipes listed in the “dessert” section of the blog. Merry Christmas!

In celebration of the Christmas season, my friends Polly and Rachel at Thriving Home asked if I would continue the tradition of participating in their Annual Christmas Giveaway Blog Hop. My response … Yippee!

Since y’all loved the past two Christmas giveaways, I immediately jumped (or should I say, hopped) at the opportunity to partner together on another terrific giveaway with some of my favorite bloggin’ friends.

And because the holidays are the busiest ~ baking ~ season of the year, I thought it would be the perfect time to put together an awesome gluten-free, grain-free Holiday Baking Giveaway! So, I called my friends at Simple Mills and asked if they’d join me in putting together a delicious prize package to make one lucky winner’s holiday season even more merry and bright (not to mention tastier too!).

Book Cover EverydayGrainFreeBaking copyOf course, it’s no secret that I’m super passionate about gluten-free, grain-free baking. After all, I spent over a year developing, photographing and publishing Everyday Grain-Free Baking – named one of the “Top Must Have GF Baking Cookbooks” by Clean Eating Magazine and Simply Gluten-Free Magazine.

But as much as I love to bake from scratch, there are times when I just want to whip-up something quickly! Thankfully, there is one company I trust who is committed to providing gluten-free, grain-free baking mixes made with pure, real food ingredients – Simple Mills!

Founder Kaitlyn Smith, started Simple Mills because of her passion for simple, healthy and delicious grain-free baking. When Simple Mills first started out, I developed a few recipes using Kaitlyn’s muffin mixes. And as Simple Mills has continued to grow and add even more delicious baking mixes to their wholesome product line, I’ve become an even bigger fan and loyal customer!

One Simple Change Summer Giveaway

By Kelly · 14 Comments

Living a healthier life doesn’t have to be as complicated as we often make it. If you’ve been wanting to get your family on the pathway to living a healthier, more nourished lifestyle, I’ve got an incredibly helpful resource just for you!

Starting June 20th, I’ll be sharing a series called “One Simple Change.” As many of you know, I recently completed my training and certification through Dr. Josh Axe’s nutritional health coaching program.

So I’m excited to share with you not only the key nutritional steps you can take to a healthier lifestyle for you and your family, but also some practical healthy living strategies that will really help you make progress in your healthy living journey.

To celebrate us taking that first step together, I’m excited to share with you a special GIVEAWAY that includes one of my favorite ways to get even more whole food fruits and veggies into my family’s diet. Unlike vitamins or supplements, this provides your family with nothing but pure whole food nutrition.

Juice Plus Giveaway Horiz

Of course, there is nothing like getting as many fresh fruits and veggies onto your family’s plate as possible, but with our fast-paced lifestyle, picky eaters, and our basic human nature of habitually eating just our favorites, it’s hard to get 9-14 servings of vegetables and fruits on our family’s plates daily, let alone to a get a wide variety of produce rather than just choosing our old familiar favorites.

I like to think of this simple whole food product as an insurance policy – an added opportunity to safeguard our health to fill in the gaps and ensure we’re getting as many of the health benefits of fruits and vegetables into our bodies as possible.

That’s why, I’m giving y’all the opportunity to WIN a two-month supply of these nutritional powerhouse products. Not just for you, but also for your kids! Simply complete the entry form below for a chance to win!

One lucky winner will receive more than $200 in JP products, including:
• A two-month supply of whole food fruit and veggie capsules, a
• A two-month supply of whole food fruit and veggie chews for kids,
• One reusable tote and water bottle

I just send one email each week with my latest whole food recipes and meal plans. And of course, I’ll also be sharing One Simple Change that you can make each week to help you and your family live healthier, more nourishing lives!
