Win-It-Wednesday: Vibrant Food Cookbook by Kimberley Hasselbrink

Tuesday, June 17th, 2014

Yes! It is time for a new WIN-It-Wednesday and we are on a roll with another fabulous cookbook giveaway!

This Win-It-Wednesday sponsor is the Vibrant Food Cookbook by Kimberley Hasselbrink… a cookbook that celebrates the ingredients, recipes and colors of each season.

Being the start of the summertime season, my first instinct was to page to the chapter on the bold colors of summer. With thoughts of my upcoming garden bounty, I was happy to see some exciting recipes using some of the vegetables and fruits I will soon be enjoying in abundance. Some of my favorites are the Sweet Corn and Squash Fritters with Avocado Crema, Summer Squash Pasta with Green Goddess Dressing, Smoky Red Pepper Soup with Pumpkin Seeds and Feta, and Summer Berry-Coconut Milk Ice Pops.

The vivid photography in this cookbook has the food bursting off the pages, tempting you to create them in your own kitchen, and enticing you to enjoy not only the flavors, but the beauty of your food creations. Usually when I make a dish, I dig in right away, but the recipes that Kimberley Hasselbrink has created in the Vibrant Food Cookbook begs me to step back a moment to admire… and appreciate… before my fork hits the plate. No wonder Kimberley is a photographer, as well as a food blogger (you must check out her fabulous blog The Year in Food)!

The recipes in this cookbook are truly a feast for both your eyes and your appetite. Made with fresh, seasonal (think local) and vivid foods, almost all the recipes in this cookbook are gluten-free (and the ones that are not “naturally” gluten-free can be super easily adapted to be so – i.e. swapping out regular pasta for gluten-free pasta).

All of these fabulous reasons are why I am so excited that Kimberley Hasselbrink the photographer and food blogger behind the new cookbook  “Vibrant Foods”  is the sponsor of this Win-It-Wednesday contest on BeFreeForMe.com!

How can you win?
Easy!

Reply to this blog and tell us your favorite vibrant summer fruits or vegetables. (Me? Berries! I love the bluish, purple, red colors… and their sweet, yet tart, taste!)

A total of two (Yes… 2!) BeFreeForMe members will be selected to win a copy of “Vibrant Food” Cookbook by Kimberley Hasselbrink. One (1) winner will be randomly selected from the entries received before Tuesday, June 24, 2014 at 11:59 PM EST, and one (1) more winners will be randomly selected to win from the entries received between Wednesday, June 25 and Tuesday, July 1, 2014 at 11:59PM.

Win-It-Wednesday: 479° Popcorn

Tuesday, May 6th, 2014

If you love popcorn but get tired of the same old flavors (I mean really?  How much of the traditional plain or white cheddar popcorn can a person eat without getting bored!) you need to check out 479° Popcorn.

This popcorn is like no other since it has the most unique and tantalized flavors… flavors made for those that have impeccable taste and demand nothing but the finest in life… even when it comes down to their snacks.

The founder of 479° Popcorn, Jean Arnold, started the company because she had nothing but fond memories of fresh, organic popcorn that was made by her Mom and enjoyed with her family during cozy moments playing cards. Her mom would make the popcorn with a “sturdy stove-top popper that she’d hand crank until the kernels turned into a delightful fluffy treat.”

And over the years, and with years of culinary training, Jean started experimenting with exotic seasonings and flavorings on the same type of organic popcorn her mom popped many years before… and 479° Popcorn was born! (By the way, the name 479° Popcorn comes from Jean’s discovery that 479° is the optimal temperature for popping popcorn! See… you DO learn something new every day!)

479° Popcorn varieties are all also certified gluten-free, Non-GMO and (drum roll please!) low calorie!

And the flavors –  Wait until you see! The 479° Popcorn flavors are: The Savory flavors… Asiago, Parmesan & Cheddar; White Cheddar & Black Truffle; Creamery Butter; Sea Salt; Farmers Market Herb and Toasted Sesame & Seaweed. And the Sweet & Salty varieties include… Toasted Coconut Caramel; Sea Salt Caramel; and Chipotle Caramel & Pumpkin Seeds. And the final flavor is 479° Popcorn’s Limited Addition flavor… Pumpkin Pecan Praline.

All of these savory, sweet and salty snacking reasons are why I am so thrilled that 479° Popcorn is the sponsor of this Win-It-Wednesday on BeFreeForMe.com.

A total of two BeFreeForMe members will be selected to win a case of 479° Popcorn.  One (1) winner will be randomly selected from the entries received before Tuesday, May 13, 2014 at 11:59 PM EST, and one (1) more winner will be randomly selected to win from the entries received between Wednesday, May 14 and Tuesday, May 20, 2012 at 11:59PM. SO – make sure you enter two times to win!

How can you win?
Easy!

Reply to this blog and tell us what variety of 479° Popcorn looks the best to you! (Me? It’s a toss-up! I love the Farmers Market Herb and the Chipotle Caramel & Pumpkin Seeds… yum!)

Good luck, remember to keep your days popping with good snacks… and as always,

Win-It-Wednesday: “Brassicas” Cookbook by Laura B. Russell

Tuesday, April 22nd, 2014

Everywhere I look restaurants are featuring items made with powerhouse vegetables such as kale, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower and arugula. And with good reason.

These vegetables, called brassicas, also include broccoli, mustard greens, cabbage, collard greens, radish, Bok choy and many others. They are  packed with nutrients, vitamins and minerals, so it is no wonder that folks everywhere are enjoying them in salads, side dishes, starters and smoothies.

I personally love many brassicas. Some of my favorites include arugula, Brussels sprouts and broccoli. But lately I have been using the same ho-hum method of preparation which usually consists of boringly steaming, boiling or broiling.

That is why I was so thrilled to receive a copy of Laura B. Russell’s new cookbook, “Brassicas: Cooking the World’s Healthiest Vegetables”. (Laura is one of my favorite cookbook authors who also has published another one of my all-time favorite go-to cookbooks,  “The Gluten-Free Asian Kitchen: Recipes for Noodles, Dumplings, Sauces, and More” ).

The Brassicas cookbook is cleverly arranged by devoting a single vegetable or class of brassica – such as leafy greens, Asian brassicas (like bok choy or napa cabbage) or root brassicas (radish, turnip, rutabaga) to each chapter. Laura then touches upon key information on preparation and nutrition of each vegetable followed with tantalizing recipes (80 total) and beautiful photographs for many of the dishes. All the recipes are either gluten free or easily adapted to be gluten-free (ie substitute a gluten-free pizza crust, or gluten-free soy sauce, etc.)

Some of the single vegetables that take center stage and have a whole chapter all to themselves thankfully include some of my favorites … and the recipes are to die for.  I now have a whole new reason to love and rekindle my stand-by recipe repertoire with the addition of the gems in this cookbook. My classic favorites like broccoli, cauliflower, kale and Brussels sprouts will never, ever become boring again. Thank you, Laura!

Some of my favorite recipes include Charred Brussels Sprouts with Pancetta and Fig Glaze; Roasted Radish Salad with Blue Cheese; Romanesco Summer Salad and Mizuna Salad with Cumin-Roasted Cauliflower.

All these healthy and tasty reasons are why I am so happy that Laura B. Russell has offered her new cookbook “Brassica: Cooking the World’s Healthiest Vegetables” as the prizes for this Win-It-Wednesday on BeFreeForMe.com.

A total of two BeFreeForMe members will be selected to win a copy of “Brassica: Cooking the World’s Healthiest Vegetables” Cookbook. One (1) winner will be randomly selected from the entries received before Tuesday, April 29, 2014 at 11:59 PM EST, and one (1) more winner will be randomly selected to win from the entries received between Wednesday, April 30 and Tuesday, May 6, 2012 at 11:59PM. SO – make sure you enter two times to win!

How can you win?
Easy!

Reply to this blog and tell us what your favorite brassica vegetable is! (Is it broccoli, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, bok choy, kale, arugula, radish, turnip, wasabi, collard greens, mustard greens, broccoli rabe, cress, Chinese broccoli, or another???)

Win-It-Wednesday: Teeccino Gluten-Free Dandelion Herbal Coffee Alternative & TeeChia Super Seed Cereal

Tuesday, March 25th, 2014

One of the best ways to start my morning is with a big bowl of Teechia Sustained Energy cereal mixed-up with some creamy yogurt alongside a piping hot Teeccino herbal dandelion coffee. Both certified gluten-free, caffeine-free and delicious.

Teechia Sustained Energy Cereal is made up of a delicious blend of six organic super seeds, plus certified gluten-free rolled oats. Then they are slightly sweetened by using fruits. It’s a bowl of heaven!

This cereal comes in two flavors: Cranberry Apple and, my favorite, Blueberry Date. The  nutrient-dense super seeds (chia, flax, quinoa, ramón, amaranth, and pumpkin) in both of the varieties paired with gluten-free oats, fruits and nuts, create a high performance cereal that keeps me energized and satisfied all morning long. The cereal is also packed with 28 grams of whole grains, 6 grams of fiber and 6-7 grams of protein and is Non-GMO Project verified and certified gluten-free. It’s cereal that you can feel good about eating!

And the Teeccino Dandelion Herbal Coffee… oh, how I love you! This herbal coffee alternative is a steaming cup of goodness for the morning, or night. I love that it satisfies my cravings for a good tasting cup of coffee, with no caffeine. With Teeccino you can have the best of both worlds – a good cup of coffee with  herbal ingredients. Pure bliss.

Teeccino’s herbal gluten-free coffee alternatives are dandelion- based and “brings the health benefits of roasted dandelion rootincluding its inulin content, antioxidants, and stimulating effects on liver function to your cup” according to the Teeccino website. The Dandelion Herbal Coffee comes in two flavors: Dandelion Dark Roast and, my favorite, Dandelion Caramel Nut. Both are certified gluten-free.

The health-benefits of the herbs, combined with the rich coffee flavor make this a perfect coffee alternative. It is also the only certified gluten-free, barley-free & caffeine-free certified organic coffee alternative on the market.

All of these wonderfully delicious reasons are why I am so excited that Teeccino’s is sponsoring this Win-It-Wednesday on BeFreeForMe.com.

Ten (Yes…10!) lucky winners will each win a VIP Sampler prize pack of the Teeccino items. Five (5) winner will be randomly selected from the entries received before Tuesday, April 1, 2014 at 11:59 PM EST, and five (5) more winner will be randomly selected to win from the entries received between Wednesday, April 2 and Tuesday, April 8, 2014 at 11:59PM EST.

Win-It-Wednesday: tummydrops

Tuesday, March 11th, 2014

This week’s Win-It-Wednesday is all about keeping tummies happy!

Whether it’s cramps, bloating, upset stomachs, nausea, motion sickness or morning sickness, we all sometimes have tummies that take a toll.

That is why I was so excited to receive samples of tummydrops delivered to my doorstep. Developed by three award-winning Gastroenterologists, these soothing drops create a convenient, all-natural, gluten-free way to take advantage of the natural soothing powers of ginger and peppermint… two of Mother Nature’s best healers.

I love that Tummy Drops are a natural alternative that can assist in digestive issues. The Tummy Drop website hits the nail on the head when it says, “Think of tummydrops as a cough drop, but to soothe upset tummies.”

Just a like a cough drop that you pop in your mouth to soothe a scratchy throat, tummydrops are perfect to keep in your purse or bag for when you, or your kids, have a upset tummy. Just pop one in your mouth and let the soothing begin.

Tummy Drops comes in two flavors: Ginger and Peppermint. The ginger drops are perfect for those that experiences stomach upset, motion sickness, nausea or morning sickness. Made with the purest and best tasting ginger, they are great for travel and when on the go. The peppermint drops are great for cramps, bloating, urgency, stomach upset and nausea. I love the natural peppermint oil that is in each and every drop. These drops are perfect for those unexpected stomach upsets.

Another reason to love tummydrops? They proudly donate 5% of new sales equally between the Celiac Disease Foundation and also the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation of America.

All of these tummy taming reasons are why I am so excited that tummydrops is sponsoring this Win-It-Wednesday on BeFreeForMe.com

Two (2) lucky winners will each win a prize pack of  tummydrop items. One (1) winner will be randomly selected from the entries received before Tuesday, March 18, 2014 at 11:59 PM EST, and one (1) more winner will be randomly selected to win from the entries received between Wednesday, March 19 and Tuesday, March 25, 2014 at 11:59PM EST.

Win-It-Wednesday: Rudi’s Gluten-Free Bakery Prize Pack

Tuesday, February 25th, 2014

The air is chilly and snow is still (unfortunately!) in the forecast, but summer, I promise you, is right around the corner.

And with summertime comes the memories of childhood… beach outings, barbeques, fireworks and overnight summer camp. But for those with celiac disease or a gluten-intolerance, summer camp can be challenging… and scary.

For some kids an overnight summer camp can be an apprehensive situation in itself. Throw into that mix a strict gluten-free diet, and the thought of being away from home for a whole week can be terrifying.

But there is no reason that a gluten-free diet should get in the way of kid’s having a great time at summer camp… and that is why I was so excited when I found out that Rudi’s Gluten-Free Bakery was offering scholarships to 20 kids (10 from the US and 10 from Canada) for a one-week gluten-free overnight summer camp trip!

The “Happy Camper” scholarship program is taking place from February 18th to March 18, 2014. It is easy to enter to win too. Just check out the application on Rudi’s Gluten-free Facebook page and have your kid(s) (or you) submit a 100-word essay on “what makes them special” (this should be pretty easy, right?) for a chance to win a one-week scholarship to attend a gluten-free overnight camp. Rudi’s will then select the winner’s that will have an unforgetable fun-filled and safe camp experience.

And as another bonus, Rudi’s Gluten-Free has generous offered to sponsor this week’s WIN-It-Wednesday on BeFreeForMe.com!

Two (2) lucky winners will each win a prize pack of THREE (yes, 3!) FREE product coupons for Rudi’s Gluten-Free items. One (1) winner will be randomly selected from the entries received before Tuesday, March 4, 2014 at 11:59 PM EST, and one (1) more winner will be randomly selected to win from the entries received between Wednesday, March 5 and Tuesday, March 11, 2014 at 11:59PM EST. SO – make sure you enter to win two times!

How can you win?
Easy!

Reply to this blog and tell us (in a sentence or two) why your kids, grandkids, nieces/nephews, etc. are special. (Me? Their caring and upbeat attitudes always put me in a great mood!)

(Please note: If you leave a comment on this blog post you are only entering to win the Rudi’s prize pack. To enter the camp scholarship contest you must enter on Rudi’s Facebook page!)

Win-It-Wednesday: Cybele’s Free-To-Eat Cookies – Free of Gluten and the TOP 8 Allergens!

Tuesday, January 28th, 2014

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and my thoughts keep wandering to sweet treats. Treats that can be enjoyed on a cold winter’s day with a cup of hot tea or cocoa… and yes, treats that can be enjoyed without a worry in the world.

And thanks to Cybele’s Free-To-Eat Cookies everyone on a gluten-free diet or those that are concerned with the top 8 allergens – Dairy, Eggs, Wheat, Soy, Peanuts, Tree Nuts, Fish and Shellfish – can enjoy a soft and sweet treat this Valentine’s Day… or any day… worry free.

These cookies are made by a mom of a food allergic family, Cybele Pascal (on a side note… Cybele is a remarkable woman! Make sure you check out Cybele’s blog for some delicious recipes and her “Allergen-Free Bakers Handbook” cookbook for some great allergen-free baking tips and recipes!) The cookies are also vegan – and come in three flavors: Chocolate Chunk Brownie, Chocolate Chip, and my favorite, Oatmeal Raisin. Cybele’s Cookies are also baked in a dedicated gluten-free and allergy-friendly facility.

O.K. – I know by now many of you are also thinking that these cookies must be free of flavor too. But, a-ha, you are wrong my friends. These cookies are soft (like, really, really soft… which I love), moist, full of raisins, chocolate chips & chunks and all the other fixins’. So they are a perfect worry-free, tasty treat for those on a gluten-free diet, celiac disease, or with food allergies. But beware! The non-gluten-free and non-food-allergic peeps in your household will be gobbling them up too… they are just that good.
