Congratulations to Reta M. from Texas who was chosen as the lucky winner in my fantastic gluten-free Bisquick giveaway. Her prize pack is making its way to the Lonestar State.
Thanks to all of you who entered and fear not…there will be an exciting new giveaway coming soon. Stay tuned for more details as you will not want to miss this one.
I thought what better way to wrap up my old site and usher in the new than with a fabulous giveaway thanks to my friends at Bisquick and MyBlogSpark.
One lucky winner will receive a really cool (and delicious) prize pack courtesy of Bisquick and MyBlogSpark delivered right to their door. The prize includes: a fantastic (and heavy) cast-iron pancake pan; a fun pancake “penl” so you can make cool shapes or just pour your batter with ease; and flexible spatula, and most importantly your very own box of Gluten-Free Bisquick.
I have actually long missed Bisquick since my Celiac diagnosis and have been dying to actually give the gluten-free version a go. Well, it did not disappoint and I made a fabulous batch of pancakes the other day that tasted, well, like the real deal I remembered. I cannot wait to try some of my other old tried and true Bisquick recipes. I must dig up the famous upside down pizza recipe so I can give a gluten-free version a try this weekend.
Okay, so you are probably wondering how you enter? Well, it could not be any easier – just leave a comment after this post. If you have already tried the gluten-free version of Bisquick let me (and my readers) know what you think. Enter by midnight (Pacific) October 10th for your chance to win. The lucky winner will be announced right here on Monday morning.
Oh, and while you are at it, why not head over to the dedicated gluten-free Bisquick site for some great tips and recipe ideas. My friends at MyBlogSpark are also graciously giving my readers a printable $1 off coupon so you can pick up a box and give it a go.
I thought what better way to celebrate one year of Gluten Free Mike than with a truly fabulous gluten-free giveaway. You have all been following me for so long – reading about my gluten-free journey and favorite items. So I thought what better way to get all Golden Girls for a moment and say Thank you for being a friend than a delicious giveaway with a cause behind it. I have purchased a fantastic selection of some of my favorite gluten-free items out there. Best of all, the products will be packaged in a FEED Projects FEED Haiti bag. Each FEED Haiti bag helps provide relief to those who were affected by the horrific earthquake earlier this year. You can know that the bag you carry has provided 50 meals for school children in Haiti.
Included in the fabulous bag are 18 unique gluten-free products that are among my most favorite. As you know I love a fabulous cocktail so I am also throwing in a gorgeous vintage cocktail pitcher as well. You have read about my gluten-free escapades and now is your chance to party like a Gluten Free Mike rock star. There are no catches and all you have to do is enter to win. It is my way of saying Thank You for making the first year of Gluten Free Mike so very special to me.

I recently had the opportunity to sample a range of gluten free fruit snacks from Betty Crocker. First was a variety pack that contains: Fruit Roll-Ups; Fruit Gushers; and Fruit by the Foot. The second box contained Create-A-Bug fruit flavored snacks. All of the snacks were really very good.
The first box was really a nostalgic trip down memory lane. I remember the odd Fruit Roll-Up being packed in my lunches as a child for a sweet treat. There is something about the sound the plastic makes as you unroll it that really took me back to my childhood. More importantly it tasted just as I remembered it. The Fruit Gushers were interesting small jewel-shaped fruit snacks that were filled with a tangy gel. Finally, the Fruit by the Foot was similar to the Fruit Roll-Up only thinner and longer. The Create-A-Bug snacks are your traditional fruit snacks that you (or your kids) can assemble into strange bug variations that kids will surely love. What’s nice about these snacks is they are portion controlled which will make parents happy and each individual package is 100 calories or less…nice. The fact that they are gluten free (now prominently featured on the boxes) is just the icing on the cake.
So I thought, what better way to start the week than with a great giveaway supplied by my friends at My Blog Spark. One lucky GFM reader will win a fantastically retro Simple Joys prize pack containing two full-sized boxes of product as described above, a fun light-up yo-yo, a set of colored pick-up sticks, and a red Frisbee . Perfect if you have children or are just young at heart.
Here’s all you need to do to win:
Simply make a comment to this post being sure to include your name and e-mail address (e-mail will not be displayed) on the provided form along with what’s your favorite gluten free Simple Joy (can be anything at all) and your city and state. It is that easy.
One winner will be chosen at random and will receive the fabulous Betty Crocker Simple Joys prize pack pictured above. The deadline to enter is Thursday at midnight Pacific time. The lucky winner will be announced on Friday. This giveaway is open to U.S. and Canadian residents only, but don’t worry my international readers I will try to have something for you soon.
