Gold Medal White Whole Wheat Flour Prize Pack Giveaway

October 17, 2011 By

White whole wheat might sound like a contradiction in terms, but here’s how it gets it’s name.  Traditional whole wheat flour is made from a variety of wheat called “hard red spring wheat”,  while white whole wheat flour is made from a variety called “hard white spring wheat”.  Gold Medal White Whole Wheat Flour is a whole grain, but with a similar taste and texture to all-purpose white flour.

Since it first came on the market a few years ago, I’ve been exclusively buying white whole wheat breads for my family. It tastes and looks exactly like white bread, but with whole grains and fiber in each slice. I feel so much better letting my kids eat “white bread” for sandwiches and toast!

One thing I hadn’t been doing though is baking my own white whole wheat products. Thanks to the Gold Medal White Whole Wheat Flour that I got through MyBlogSpark, I’ll be able to make cookies, muffins, dessert bars, even cinnamon rolls! Gold Medal® White Whole Wheat flour can be used in any recipe. It’s the best of both worlds—100% whole grain but with a lighter taste and color.

Betty Crocker has a website just for recipes that use Gold Medal White Whole Wheat Flour. I can’t wait to try Super Chunky Trail Mix Cookies, Peanut Butter Chip Cookies, Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins, and Double Chocolate Lava Cake! YUM. People post great photos of their baked goods on Betty Crocker’s Facebook page.

If you want to convert a white flour recipe and aren’t sure how it will turn out, start substituting 25% or 50% of the all-purpose flour with Gold Medal® White Whole Wheat flour, gradually increasing proportion as desired. Note: You may wish to add an extra tablespoon or two of the liquid used in the recipe when substituting Gold Medal White Whole Wheat flour or decrease the amount of flour by one to two tablespoon for recipes that call for all-purpose flour.

WIN IT:  Thanks to Betty Crocker and MyBlogSpark, one lucky MomReviews reader will win a fantastic Betty Crocker® Gold Medal White Whole Wheat Flour prize pack that includes A VIP coupon for a sample of Gold Medal White Whole Wheat flour, instructions for recipe conversion, recipe cards, and a fantastic Gold Medal Flour branded Cookie Jar!

Baileys Coffee Creamers Review and Coupons Giveaway

September 19, 2011 By

From the makers of Baileys Irish Cream liqueur comes a line of non-alcoholic coffee creamers that turn a regular cup of coffee into a rich, creamy, luxurious treat. Baileys Coffee Creamers come in French Vanilla, Hazelnut, Caramel, Crème Brulée, Toffee Almond Cream, Chocolate, and Original Irish Cream flavors.

“People have loved the smooth, creamy richness and flavor of BAILEYS® Original Irish Cream since it was created over 30 years ago. So we thought (and soon found out we were not alone), wouldn’t it be great if people could enjoy this rich flavor in their coffee anytime they want? So we came up with BAILEYS® Coffee Creamers — delicious, non-alcoholic flavored coffee creamers, with all the quality and great taste for which BAILEYS is known.”

I received a free full-value coupon to try Baileys Coffee Creamers, which I found at Meijer. I chose the Crème Brulée flavor. Crème Brulée is a dessert of custard with a layer of sugar on top that is heated with a torch so the sugar hardens and carmelizes, and that’s exactly what my cup of coffee tasted like! I usually use French Vanilla creamer in my coffee, so it’s a treat to have something that tastes so different and delicious. Baileys Coffee Creamers retail for around $3.49 for a 16 ounce bottle, and can be found at major retailers around the country. Check the Where to Buy page to find a store near you.

 

WIN IT: Thanks to Baileys Coffee Creamers, three lucky  MomReviews readers will each win two coupons for a free bottle of Baileys Coffee Creamers! . For your main entry, visit the Baileys Coffee Creamers site,  hover your mouse over The Flavors to see each of the available flavors, then come back here and tell me which ones you’ll choose if you win. This must be done before any bonus entries will count.

NOTE:  Spam stinks. Comments left with keywords instead of a real first name or blog name will be DELETED, no exceptions.  Comments that do not follow the main entry rules will also be deleted, no exceptions.

ENTRY DATES AND RULES: Enter by October 3rd 2011 at 11:59 p.m. EST. Open to U.S. mailing addresses only. The winner will be chosen using the “And The Winner Is” plugin and emailed for their mailing address and daytime phone number (for package tracking).
