BearHug Delicious Vegan Cookies Giveaway

      Christmas is just a few hours away. Since I can't personally hand you a gift for being super nice this year, I've teamed up with BearHug Bakery to send some treats to two lucky friends.  Isn't that sweet?

     Just a little introduction, BearHug Bakery is a local business (Yay New Jersey!) that makes delicious vegan cookies.  I met this husband and wife team last November at a vendor show and they gave me some delectable Double Chocolate Chip cookies to try.  As you may know, I'm not new to vegan cookies.  Since my children tested positive for food allergies, we've all looked around for safe treats.  

         Below is the photo of the cookies they gave us.  Due to my children's multiple food allergies, they custom made a gluten free version of their bestseller just for us.  

        As you can see, their vegan cookies look so much like (or even better) most regular cookies. The top is quite crunchy while the inside remains soft and chewy.  It is not overly sweet and is packed with so much flavor. You wouldn't miss the eggs, butter and even dairy found in traditional cookies. Since they don't use any preservatives, we can all be sure that each piece is freshly made.  

 

         Here's their second flavor, Almond Mayhem.  Unfortunately, I wasn't able to taste these because our home is nut free.  Ah! Things a food allergy mom does.   Anyway, with exception to almonds, BearHug Bakery is free of peanuts and other nuts.  I'm sure some are doing a happy dance now.  

     

         Are you getting excited already?  Now for the giveaway.  Two lucky readers will each get a dozen of BearHug Bakery freshly baked vegan cookies of their choice  --- Double Chocolate Chip, Almond Mayhem or mixed right on their doorsteps just in time for the New Year's Party.  

           What are you waiting for? Grab your chance for some cookies now. This is open to US residents only and will end on Dec. 25 11:59 pm EST.

           Merry Christmas!

TheFrugalistaMOM's Food Allergy Coupons Giveaway

      A few more weeks and 2014 is over.  Can you believe it?  It may sound a cliche but the year did flew right before my eyes.  

       Before I get caught up with the holiday rush, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for being with me throughout the year.  Your company has inspired me to continue writing (which I love so much), experiment in the kitchen for new recipes and enjoy food allergy safe product hunting and testing (a task that I'm beginning to be fond of).

      I confess maintaining a blog is not an easy task.  Though I can't run out of content to share, the posting process is always a struggle. As the kids grow older, I realized the hard way that their food consumption exponentially increases. Thus, extra time must be allotted in the kitchen. Ah, if only there's a way, I could cook and blog at the same time.  Any ideas?

       To be really honest, there were times too when I thought about not blogging anymore.  Between the cooking, shopping, mommy duties and personal goals, it is quite a challenge to carve that coveted writing hour.  During those I consider dark moments,  I would receive a question from a reader about a recipe, a company would reach out for me to review their new food allergy friendly product or a random follower will send me a quick thank you message.  These simple gestures remind me that I must have been doing something right.  It reassures me that I was put in this position by God because He has a mission for me.

     Thank you so much for sticking with me this year. I really appreciate all the support and kind words you keep on sending me.   You have not only made our family's food allergy journey more bearable.  In fact, you all helped me looked more on the brighter side of things.

       To show, how much I appreciate you, I'm starting a series of giveaways this month.  To start with, I'm giving away a part of my coupon stash to one lucky follower to enjoy.  It's over $20 worth of coupons!  Some of it are even subject to an amount match (depends on where you shop).  I'm pretty sure it will come handy.

Coupons included are:
       Ian's Natural Foods, Dole Garden Soup, Plentils, Ola! Granola, Purely Elizabeth, Freedom Foods, So Delicious, Soy Joy and Raw Revolution.
         

        This giveaway is open to US residents and will end on Monday (December 15, 11:59 pm EST).

         Good luck!
