Blogiversary! A 12-hour giveaway

On May 8, 2008 I sat down and wrote a blog post--my first! It wasn't brilliant but it was a start. 365 days later I am at post #405 (!) and happy to celebrate my first blogiversary--hopefully the first of many.

So I want to thank those of you who read this blog by doing a giveaway. I'll make chocolate-dipped Rice Krispies Treats for a lucky winner. You can choose whether you want milk chocolate or white, or some of each, and I'll even dip them in sprinkles if you'd like. If you don't eat refined sugar or some other ingredient, I'll make you something you will eat. (Macrobiotic vegan oatmeal cookies, anyone?)

The rules are simple:

1. Post a comment here. You can enter once.
2. Come back tonight--I'll use a random number generator and announce the winner at around 9:30 p.m. CST (approximately 12 hours from now.) This giveaway is now closed.

This giveaway doesn't include any encouragement for you to spread the word. This is specifically geared towards my awesome blog readers. Thanks for sticking with me!

  1. I want black bean brownies, please. They sound so weird that I have to try them. And they can be made w/out refined sugar.

    If we promote you on our blog and/or twitter, can we get an extra entry? :D

  8. Congrats!
    Maybe I could get you to make something higher in protein?
    I have made black bean brownies before (from 101 cookbooks) and they are actually very rich and quite yummy.

  27. Happy Blogiversary!

    I learned lots of interesting things about you from the "first post".

    Just so you know, I thought about you just today. I was at Wal-Mart and a lady came in wearing her baby in a sling. I remember thinking when my daughter was born... no way! I carried her for 9 months...after that it's strollers and Daddy time! :) Although, most people do look adorable wearing their children that way!

    Congrats again!

  33. Hi, Beth! We're back and I'm just now catching up on your blog! Good timing for me, huh? :)

    I remember all too well when you started this blog. If I recall, you said something along the lines of, "Well, I don't know how well I'll keep it up, but I'll give it a try." And look at you now...one of my favorite bloggers!!

    And, if I win, your Rice Krispy Treats sound delicious! SLURP!
