Betty Crocker Gluten Free Baker’s Challenge {Giveaway}

Betty Crocker Gluten Free Baker's Challenge

I don’t think I mentioned it on my blog, but in March, I gave up gluten.  Over the past few years, I’ve read that going gluten-free can be beneficial for people with lupus, but being the carbaholic I am, it didn’t seem like a fun idea.  This past winter, my Lupus was as bad as it’s ever been and I was looking for any solution that didn’t include more drugs…so I gave up gluten.  I’ve actually been amazed at how good I’ve been feeling, but eating gluten-free hasn’t been easy.

If you or a loved one has started eating gluten free, you’re probably aware that baking can pose a unique set of challenges.  Thankfully, Betty Crocker has risen to the occasion with a great line of gluten free baking mixes.

And to make things even more fun, they’ve teamed up with GlutenFreely.com to offer the Betty Crocker Bakers Challenge: Gluten Free Recipe Contest.  Check out the details and share your gluten-free recipe before June 30th for a chance at $5000.

I’m excited about the Gluten Free Recipes I’ve created thanks to Betty Crocker!  I’d share them with you, but I’m trying to win 5000 bucks too! :-)

Gluten Free Cake Mix, Gluten Free Cookie Mix, Gluten Free Baking Mix, Gluten Free Brownie MixWanna check out these baking mixes first hand?

Buy It: GlutenFreely.com is offering 20% off  Betty Crocker Baking Mixes during the month of June.

Win It: Betty Crocker in conjunction with My Spark is offering a Gluten Free Baking Prize Package to one lucky Simplified Saving Reader.

Simplified Saving Christmas Day 12: Roundabout Cupcake Sleeves

I am not a gourmet baker on the best of days…throw a torn meniscus and a pair of crutches into the mix and my baking skills become practically non-existent.  Don’t get me wrong…I’m a pretty good cook, but if you’re looking for something fancy schmancy, I’m not your girl!  But oh how I wish I was…especially around the holidays!  I’d love to be able to bake gorgeous looking cakes and cupcakes, but unfortunately I lack the skill and the time!

I can’t even begin to tell you how excited I was to discover Roundabouts Cupcakes Sleeves.  These are a dream-come-true for a busy mom like me.

I had this plate waiting for my husband and daughters when they finished performing in Clara and The Nutcracker Prince.  After 7 performances this week, they deserved a treat…and how perfectly fitting to have Nutcracker cupcakes!

Seriously…how cute are these?!?  And it took less than 30 seconds to transform them!  After baking and frosting my cupcakes, I simply wrapped the sleeve around it.  It even comes with it’s own sticky tab to make it stay on!

Roundabouts Cupcakes Sleeves offers adorable cupcake sleeves for holidays or for any day!

From Sleeves for a Christmas party….

to sleeves for a cookout…

it’s easy to find the perfect Roundabouts Cupcake Sleeves for any occasion!

Trifle Recipe Cards Review and Giveaway {CLOSED}

Click here to see if you’re the winner!

Pink Zebra Recipe Cards

What do you get when you combine beautiful colors, a little bit of whimsy, and a love for cooking? Absolutely fabulous personalized recipe cards from Trifle Recipe Cards.  Trifle Recipe Cards feature over 100 choices of fun, funky, whimsical, and classic recipe cards.

I love to cook and try new recipes, however, more often than not, I jot down a recipe on a scrap piece of paper and then tack it to the fridge in hopes I’ll remember to make it.  I usually go on a cleaning frenzy long before the recipe gets made and the scrap of paper ends up in the trash.  With these adorable recipe cards, I’ve enjoyed jotting down new recipes and gazing admiringly at them while I cook!

Not only do they offer great everyday recipe cards, but they also offer recipe exchange invitations!  How cute are these???

Or how about some stock the pantry bridal shower invitations?  You could possibly be deemed the best bridesmaid ever if you threw this kind of shower!

Most new brides (and new grooms) would be thrilled to have dozens of tried and true easy-to-make recipes that were given to them by friends and family!

As we head into the holiday season, you’ll definitely want to consider giving Trifle Recipe Cards to the domestic divas (or those who could use a little help in the kitchen) in your life!  The recipe cards are reasonably priced and you can also purchase accessories like recipe boxes and recipe stands as well as fabulously frilly aprons. The Gia apron is totally on my Christmas wish list this year!
