Thanks to everyone who commented on the granola giveaway – it was fun to hear from all of you! And, I even got to “meet” two super-talented and creative gluten-free bloggers – Betsy and Katrina! Be sure to go and visit them when you get a chance!

And now, without further ado, the winner of the gluten free variety is…..

My friend and new neighbor whose house I just happened to be at last night for an amazing gluten free meal: Roasted Chicken and Potatoes, Pasta Salad, Pizza Soup, and to top it off – Apple Pie with Crumble Top! Truly delicious!
Congrats Kim!

And in the full-of-gluten category (actually oats don’t contain gluten, but due to cross contamination issues, you have to be careful) the winner is…..

Fellow granola consumer, veggie lover, and all-around health nut….Ryan M!

Ryan, I know this prize just delights your soul, and that right now you are probably planning an overnight backpacking trip just so that you can take this crunchy-goodness along with you and eat it for breakfast with some freshly gathered berries and homemade yogurt.

Or, you could give it to Amanda.

Believe it or not, her love for granola exceeds your by just a tad, and I know what a generous and sacrificial man you are.

So, the granola deliveries will be made soon! I hope you all enjoy it.

And here’s a recipe that does NOT fall into the health nut category, but is a fun and easy dessert! It’s one that my sister passed along to me years ago that required a boxed yellow cake mix to start with. Well, you can imagine how that recipe card settled into a dark and untouched place in my recipe box. Now, thanks to Betty Crocker and a few other companies that offer boxed gluten free cake mixes, this cake is possible for us again!
