Here, Have a Cookie [Giveaway!]

Hi friends! How are you? Hope you’re having a wonderful morning <3

Thanks so much for all of the funny comments about my rapping skillz and for the sweet wishes about Foodbuzz festival– I’m so excited for it!

To those of you who guessed the Quinoa Confetti casserole (from Eat, Drink and Be Vegan) for last night’s dinner, you were right 🙂

dinner

With greens, balsamic and POMs.

I had two bowls full- love this recipe! I was definitely hangry after Dance Trance-ing it up, so this hit the spot.

This morning I had to work early, but thought I’d wake up a little earlier so I could make a fun breakfast. As deep as my relationship is with breakfast cookies and cookie dough cereal, you have to switch it up sometimes, ya know?

Pumpkin Perfect Protein Pancakes <—– alliteration whaaaaat?!

The only thing is, someone got a little overzealous with the pumpkin and the little beasts wouldn’t cook or flip!

Good thing I veganized them because I’m eating pancake dough blobs with maple syrup and cacao nibs right now 😉

Still foodgasmic 🙂

Speaking of foodgasms……

How about a giveaway??

Yes, you saw that right.

COOKIES!
Not just any cookies—these are from the Cravory, and from what I can tell, they’re incredible. (Maybe they’ll send me some for *review*? Baha)

I’m really, really excited about this giveaway because one of the founders of the Cravory (Derek, who also goes by “Biggie”), and I knew each other in college. We were in business school together and my room mates were friends with his group of friends. I was so excited to see via Facebook that he’d partnered up with some guys and started this business. It’s funny too because one of my good friends (a squadron wife) is cousins with another one of the founders- small world, ehh??

The idea of the Cravory is pretty ridiculous- you go in, “design” your cookie, and they make it for you. They have a beautiful variety of dough and ingredients.

From their website:

  27. Whitney on October 12, 2010 at 10:08 pm

    Holy wow! For me, it’s the mexican hot chocolate cookie — I’ve been tinkering with some way to get some sweet-spicy heat into a choco-chip cookie for a while now, but have been ending up with some tasty (and some not-so-tasty) flops. Awesome cookies all around!



  28. Karen on October 12, 2010 at 10:12 pm

    Classic chocolate chip is always a favorite!



  29. Claire on October 12, 2010 at 10:13 pm

    My ultimate cookie combo would be a pumpkin (just for kicks since its fall!) and salty PB cookie dough with rich dark chocolate chunks and possibly walnuts.



  30. Kristen B on October 12, 2010 at 10:17 pm

    I’ve never met a cookie I didn’t like. That being said, the ultimate cookie creation= oatmeal + dried cherries + figs + Justin’s honey almond butter + white chocolate chunks + crushed pretzels… gotta have that sweet & salty flava with a little texture, ya know? I really like the idea of the Cravory. I see some awesome gifs for friends in the future.



  31. Erica on October 12, 2010 at 10:20 pm

    Dream cookie? Pumpkin-raisin-fig-walnut!



  32. Astrid on October 12, 2010 at 10:28 pm

    pecans and caramel. yummy!



  33. Bonnie on October 12, 2010 at 10:29 pm

    Browned butter, semi-sweet chocolate disks, a little bit of oatmeal, some crushed Reese’ cups throughout, and vanilla.



  34. Emily on October 12, 2010 at 10:35 pm

    COOKIES!!!! I would love this!

    I would like to try a chocolate (duh), coconut, cherry, fudge cookie. YUM!



  35. Dynamics on October 12, 2010 at 10:48 pm

    Wow, 682 comments. Cookies, cookies and more cookies. Me please.



  36. EMC on October 12, 2010 at 10:50 pm

    I just “discovered” your blog today. What lucky timing! 🙂

    Either a gooey nutella type cookie or something involving chocolate and raspberry. Or maybe a kettle corn cookie! Ooooh. Feeling inspired now…



  37. Stacey on October 12, 2010 at 10:51 pm

    I’ve been so into ginger lately! So I think my dream combo at the moment would be a ginger + fruit (peach?! pear?!) + chocolate chip cookie. Ahhh…



  38. Krissy on October 12, 2010 at 10:53 pm

    Chocolate and ginger



  39. Lauren on October 12, 2010 at 10:57 pm

    Oh wowsers…this sounds amazing! I’d have a chewy chocolate cookie with Reese’s cups, honey roasted peanuts, and peanut butter and butterscotch chips (can you tell I love peanut butter? ). Maybe a few toffee bits thrown in too 🙂



  40. Katherine on October 12, 2010 at 11:00 pm

    I think I would like a nut/M&M combo, but someone also mentioned a cookie with ginger in it and that just got my mouth going! I wonder if all those would go? 🙂



  41. Nidia on October 12, 2010 at 11:08 pm

    I would love a chocolate and coconut cookie! Yum! I’m drooling just thinking about it. ha ha



  42. Samantha on October 12, 2010 at 11:12 pm

    I just had the BEST idea…Dream Bar cookies! chocolate chips, graham cracker crumb batter, coconut and walnuts…oops, I’m drooling!



  43. Lyndsay on October 12, 2010 at 11:16 pm
