Because it's Monday, my kids are driving me crazy, I'm not feeling the best, I broke my waffle iron (I'm hoping my husband can fix it) and I STILL have tons of laundry to do, I'm going to do a little giveaway. Plus, it goes along perfectly with today's post, which was not planned. The awesome people at Nielsen-Massey want to give away one of their Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Bean Paste's to three lucky readers. I LOVE this stuff. I feel like I am using it daily. They even sent me their cookbook, which is absolutely beautiful and full of fun recipes.
To enter, leave a comment stating what recipe you love to use vanilla in.
Giveaway ends Thursday June 10th at 11:59 pm.
Good Luck!

ReplyDeleteI have a zucchini bread recipe that I make that has 5 tsp of vanilla in it. My nephew who isn't big on veggies loves this bread. I usually add more zucchini than called for less sugar and a tad bit more vanilla and he doesn't know it is good for him.
