Wholesome Comfort eBook Giveaway
(Plus a Discount Code and Recipe!)

Posted by DishragDiarist on May 15, 2012 in Recipes, Snacks/ Drinks with 9 Comments


This week I’ll be giving away a copy of Kate Tietje’s new eBook, Wholesome Comfort. It contains over 40 recipes, with many of them suitable for those with food allergies. All of the recipes are soy and seafood-free, and an easy-to-read key indicates which are dairy, egg, nut and grain-free.

Now, I know most of us think of comfort food as a winter thing. It can be hard to picture traditional comfort foods when the temperature is rising outside. But wouldn’t you love a cream soup recipe to replace all of those yucky canned versions? How about healthy dinner rolls or biscuits, or real-food mac ‘n’ cheese? Who wouldn’t love delicious Hot Chocolate that is not from an envelope? (I’ll share this recipe below!) Read the rest of this entry »

Abi picking the winning names!

I’m sorry about the lateness of this post. It’s just because… well, days don’t always go as planned, do they?

Without further ado, congratulations to SHANNON (winner of the full size) and ASHLEY (travel size winner). I’ll be sending out your Miessence toothpastes as soon as I get your mailing addresses (I’ll email you both).

Thanks to those who entered! As with other giveaways, it seems the odds always predict the winner so make sure to get tons of entries next time. (I think the next giveaway is during the cosmetic reviews. Yea!)

P.S. – Check out the comments at the original dental care post. I’m adding in some interesting links!
