On the 2nd Day…
Sahale Snacks Giveaway
Two family-size bags (15 oz.) of their popular nut blends: Valdosta and Sing Buri (these are great for entertaining – on salads or simply served in bowls for snacking) plus a canvas Sahale Snacks apron.
Valdosta: Pecans with sweet cranberries, black pepper and orange zest.
These are really delicious and are perfect for the holiday season. These are tasty by the handful or in a salad. We are them in a salad with baby greens, apples and maple balsamic dressing; the perfect combination.
Sing Buri: Cashews with pineapple, peanuts, lemongrass and mild Chinese chili.
I liked these but I didn’t love the addition of pineapple. We only had these on their own but they would really be great in an Asian stir fry or slaw/salad.
TO ENTER: This giveaway is open until December 3rd at 6am. This giveaway is open to U.S. Residents.
The Winner is: Megan Hall

On the 1st Day of…
Welcome to the start of 12 Days of Giveaways! I hope you are as excited as I am about this years special event. There will be at least one giveaways each day so keep your eyes peeled for multiple giveaways in a day. Today is the beginning and to get us started will be a giveaway from Amy’s Kitchen.
Amy’s Kitchen provided me with the following goodies to review for this giveaway:
One of the great things about Amy’s products is that they are great when you are in a pinch and need to have food for entertaining. I ended up bringing both the pizza and the chocolate cake with us to my Grandma’s when we celebrated Canadian Thanksgiving. The pizza was one of the personal sized ones and we baked it, cut it up and served it as an appetizer. It was a great hit! The flavor was wonderful.
We enjoyed the cake for dessert; we sprinkled the top with a little powdered sugar and served. I really loved it and wish we had thought to serve it was raspberries or strawberries because the combination of the fudgey cake and sweet-tart fruit would have been so delicious.
For the giveaway the winner will be provided with how three Free Product Coupons — good for any Amy’s item, including all frozen items (retail value = $30), plus a nice Amy’s canvas shopping tote.
The Winner is Natalie – A Hint Of Cinnamon

Baked Spinach & Artichoke Dip
Baked Spinach and Artichoke Dip
I have made other spinach and artichoke dips in the past using sour supreme, vegan mayo and/or vegan cream cheese and I have been wanting to create something a little healthier but still just as tasty. This recipe replaces the vegan dairy/mayo alternatives with navy beans.
Ingredients:
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 cups baby spinach
- 1 (6oz) jar of marinated artichoke hearts, roughly chopped
- 10 sundried tomatoes packed in olive oil, sliced
- 1 (14oz) can of navy beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/4 cup vegetable broth
- salt and pepper
- 1 Tbsp nutritional yeast (optional)
Directions:
Preheat oven 350F
- In a medium skillet heat the olive oil over medium high heat; add in the onion and cook for 5-7 minutes until soft. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the spinach and cook until wilted. Remove from the stove and place in a bowl; set to the side.
- In a food processor or blender process the beans with the vegetable broth until smooth.
- To the bowl of spinach add the artichoke hearts, sundried tomatoes, nutritional yeast and pureed beans; stir to combine well. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes until browned and bubbly.
Serve with vegetable sticks, pita or crackers.
