{Giveaway} Dehydration Station

Hiiiiii 😀 Happy Indian Food Wednesday! How’s your day going?

I’m so glad you guys liked the video I posted last night– pretty amazeballz, huh? I also LOVED reading about your pets’ nicknames. Glad we’re not the only weirdos out there 😉

(check out that LEG sticking out! She’s so funny)

We just got back from this morning’s 30 minute walk, and also went to the dog park (DP) so Bella could chase her friends around and collapse in the dirt.

B-fast for the Pilot:

(Sourdough English muffin with sundried tomato goat cheese, organic turkey, an over easy egg on each side, and 1/2 avocado with berries)

Perfect protein pancakes for me:

BANANA SPLIT protein pancakes with a square of dark chocolate, 1/2 banana, organic strawberries and a drizzle of maple syrup.

Yes, yes, yesssssssssssssss <—-foodgasm

So I wanted to say a little “thank you” for being so lovely and supportive since the Pilot has been home, with house hunting and life in general, so I asked my friends at OpenSky if we could do a lil giveaway.

When I picked the item, I wanted it to be something I use all the time and LOVE, so it was really an easy choice.

  2. Erin on April 6, 2011 at 7:01 pm

    I would like to try Kale chips. I am already on the Open Sky List!

  3. elaine on April 6, 2011 at 7:02 pm

    hi gina! many thanks for holding this AWESOME giveaway. the first thing i would make in the dehydrator would be kale chips! i buy them from Whole paychecks when the craving hits, but at $6 a pop i’d love to make them myself!

  4. kimberley on April 6, 2011 at 7:04 pm

    Banana chips…then kale chips…then that redonkulous-looking tart (or reasonable facsimile).
    What an awesome giveaway!!

  5. KB on April 6, 2011 at 7:05 pm

    I’d try roons or granola.

    Thanks for the great giveaway. So happy that you and the Pilot are together again.

  6. Kate on April 6, 2011 at 7:09 pm

    I’d probably make Kale chips cuz I love, love, love them. Although, that granola is looking pretty tasty…

  7. TanyaS on April 6, 2011 at 7:11 pm

    Possible the most awesome-est giveaway EVER! I’d be all over trying some macaroons. I’ve tried a few recipes in my oven, but just not working out. It would also be nice to make some kale chips, I always over bake in the oven.

  8. Amy on April 6, 2011 at 7:11 pm

    I have to confess that I’ve never eaten kale. Ever. And I’ve been a vegetarian my whole life. The truth is I’m scared of it. But that will change if I can make those kale chips in a new dehydrator!! Seriously, they look amazing =)

  9. Crystal (Bye BYe Fat Pants) on April 6, 2011 at 7:13 pm

    The first thing I would make is some roons 🙂

  10. courtney on April 6, 2011 at 7:13 pm

    I think I would like to try granola and kale chips!!!!!

  11. Ashlee on April 6, 2011 at 7:14 pm

    Kale chips! I have been wanting a dehydrator forEVER!! I asked my then boyfriend (now husband) for a dehydrator for Christmas two years ago. He bought me the cookbooks and a juicer. The juicer has been amazing, but it was a bummer to get the cookbook and something I wasn’t really wanting. Oh well. Maybe I’ll win 🙂

  12. Kimberly on April 6, 2011 at 7:18 pm

    Roons but of course!

  13. jan on April 6, 2011 at 7:19 pm

    I’ve never made granola so that would probably be my first Excalibur experiment. Love kale chips and macaroons, too!
    Thanks for arranging this awesome giveaway!

  14. Shathar on April 6, 2011 at 7:20 pm

    I’d make a big batch of granola for sprinkling over my yogurt! Yum!

  15. Roseanna on April 6, 2011 at 7:22 pm

    Kale chips for sure.

  16. Erica Rose on April 6, 2011 at 7:23 pm

    I would make salty, cheezy, kale chips! I try to make them in our oven, but they never taste as delicious as the dehydrated ones. I would probably cry if I won this, I’m so excited!

  17. Steph! on April 6, 2011 at 7:23 pm

    I would definitely make some raw crackers or macaroons. SO good!!

  18. Megan on April 6, 2011 at 7:23 pm

    Granola!! This is an AMAZING giveaway!!!

  19. Ilana on April 6, 2011 at 7:25 pm

    Kale chips! Undoubtably, kale chips would be my first recipe in a dehydrator.

  20. kirsten on April 6, 2011 at 7:27 pm

    The first thing I would make is vegetable chips! 🙂 great giveaway!

  21. Britney on April 6, 2011 at 7:27 pm

    I think I’d start with something easy – like dried fruit or veggie chips. I’d save the fancy desserts to make second. 🙂

  22. Michelle K on April 6, 2011 at 7:28 pm

    I’d either make roons or granola!

  23. Lindsey @Textbooks and Cookbooks on April 6, 2011 at 7:30 pm

    Awesome giveaway 🙂 I would make some dried fruit!

  24. Erin @ The Grass Skirt on April 6, 2011 at 7:31 pm

    This is awesome! I’ve always wanted a dehydrator to make dried fruit. I’d also make macaroons. 🙂

  25. Abby S on April 6, 2011 at 7:31 pm

  29. Rachel on April 6, 2011 at 7:38 pm

    Definitely your roons!! And fruit–I’d love to make my own dried fruit! So fun 🙂

  30. Karen on April 6, 2011 at 7:39 pm

    I think I would start off with something easy like apple or kale chips. Once I get more comfortable using the dehydrator I would love to try my hand at making macaroons. I absolutely love them!

  31. Dana Marie on April 6, 2011 at 7:39 pm

    Oh, my goodness, I would LOVE a dehydrator!! I would love to make ‘roons or kale chips with it– yum! 🙂

  33. Sierra on April 6, 2011 at 7:40 pm

    DEF “cheesy” kale chips! I have tried to make them in the oven before, but it didn’t work quite right, so I would love to try a dehydrater! THEN I would dehydrate EVERYTHING! Banana chips, roons, you name it! 😉

  34. Dan on April 6, 2011 at 7:41 pm

    definitely, DEFINITELY, veggie chips. yum!

  35. melissa on April 6, 2011 at 7:41 pm

  37. Kristin on April 6, 2011 at 7:44 pm

    I would absolutely make myself some Gina style roon’s if i were lucky enough to win a dehydrator!

  38. Jenna on April 6, 2011 at 7:47 pm

    The first thing I’d make is kale chips. I can never get them quite right in the oven.

  39. shawna on April 6, 2011 at 7:49 pm

  40. Stephanie @ lungesandlunch on April 6, 2011 at 7:50 pm

    Already on the OpenSky account as a member. I never win anything, so here’s crossing my fingers!!!! Hopefully this is open to us Canadians?

  41. Lindsey on April 6, 2011 at 7:52 pm

  42. Bridget on April 6, 2011 at 7:53 pm

    Wow! What a fabulous giveaway! I would definitely give it a good workout, and I would make some dried kiwi first as I can NEVER find it at the store!

  43. Carly on April 6, 2011 at 7:57 pm

  49. Steph on April 6, 2011 at 8:01 pm

    I would first try the roons, never had any in my life and they look amazing!

    Next up would be kale chips – tried those in my oven and it just doesn’t work so well – last time I had very smokey blackened kale chips…or what was left of them.

  50. Sarah on April 6, 2011 at 8:05 pm

    Roons, Duh.
