Earth Balance® Giveaway!

Hey boys and girls! What’s the best way to celebrate the middle of the week? Well, we think it’s to host our very first giveaway! We know we said we’d wait until we get to 200 on Facebook, but we were too excited to wait.

Thanks to the AWESOME folks at Earth Balance®, we’re now hip to 2 of their latest products: Earth Balance®  Organic Coconut Spread and Earth Balance® MindfulMayo™ Dressing and Sandwich Spread. With that, they have so graciously given us a set of 2 free coupons (one for the coconut spread and one for MindfulMayo™, redeemable at Whole Foods Market) and a copy of their “Cooking with Coconut” recipe booklet to one of our lucky U.S. readers (sorry to our friends abroad, but we’ll have something for you soon enough).

So how do you get to score this set from The Food Duo? Here are your options:

1. Leave a comment on our blog telling us how you would use Earth Balance®  Organic Coconut Spread or Earth Balance® MindfulMayo™ Dressing and Sandwich Spread in your cooking
2. “Like” us on Facebook and let us know by leaving a comment here
3. Follow us on Twitter, and also let us know by leaving a comment here

You each have three shots. We’ll take all of the entries and run them through Random.org to select the winner. Entries will be accepted between now and Tuesday, September 20, 2011 at 11:59pm U.S. Eastern Time. The winner will be announced on Wednesday, September 21, 2011.

Good luck to all! 

If you’re not up-to-date on what Earth Balance® is and their wonderful product line, you need to get to the store ASAP (or maybe wait until you win the giveaway). Their spreads, buttery sticks and soymilk are phenomenal. Mac’s got a major “thing” for their chocolate milk, which is so good, it’s bad, but not bad meaning bad, but bad meaning good (In a Run-DMC happy mood) way.

The coconut spread has many uses. You can bake with it (coconut pie – YUM). You can cook with it (coconut rice with some tofu satay – YUM x 2). You can just spread it on your toast with a little bit of chocolate (Breakfast of Champs like us…only on a cheat day, of course). It’s not overpowering in flavor. It’s a really nice complement to breakfast, lunch or dinner. The possibilities in how to cook with it are endless. What you do with it outside of the kitchen is your own business.

The MindfulMayo™ is great for salads as a base to your dressing. We like to add some balsamic vinegar and mustard to ours. Now, we haven’t had it on sandwiches yet, but I think we’ll do something with the oat flour tortillas Mac made recently. Already thinking ahead!

We want to take a quick moment to thank you guys for reading and following this little blog we have. It means a lot to know that you stop by, whether it be to check our new recipes, read Mac’s crazy poems, see the oddball YouTube clip we post or an uplifting story we may share. Our appreciation of your support is TREMENDOUS!
