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!

Cookies, and I always had extra.
French Toast, YUM!
Cookies, Waffles, French Toast, Brown Sugar Muffins (my children's current favorite)...pretty much anything that will let me use Vanilla, I throw it in! (and only pure vanilla...none of that imitation stuff...blech!)
My chocolate chip cookies with cinnamon! My sister loves vanilla bean paste and i am dying to try it!
I use it in my husband's favorite pie, boston creme pie!
Chocolate chip cookies and an orange smoothie.
I went to Williams Sonoma to get some this weekend and they were sold out!!! I am in great need of this brown gold! I love it in sugar cookies or fresh whip cream!
There's hardly anything I don't use vanilla in. But since I'm a big french toast fan lately, I'll start with that one.
Granola!
Cake decorating icing... it tastes so much better than imitation! I NEED this stuff to make my creations extra delicious.
Every morning in my stove top oatmeal! After the milk gets real hot I put in my oatmeal and pour in a dollup of Madagascar Pure Vanilla Bean. Yummy!
Chocolate Fudge Sauce. Once I unintentionally left out the vanilla. It is necessary and I'd love to try the paste.
I 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.

I tend to put vanilla in everything, whether it's called for or not, and when it's called for I always add extra. I especially love it in my chocolate peanut butter swirl bars.
I use it in everything but particularly love it in homemade marshmallows.. yum!!!
I've never used a vanilla paste before. Sounds delish!
I use mine in homemade whipped cream all the time for a yummy dessert. Especially with berries on top of waffles.
I also always use it in my Costco giant bag of Krustez pancake mix. They taste soooo much better that way.

homemade whipped cream that seth loves to throw together in our ISI whipper his parents gifted us when we got married. we've learned to use powdered sugar for the optimal whipped cream escape, as in knockin-on-the-pearly-gates good! vanilla bean paste would elevate it just past st. peter, i reckon. =)
