$25.00 Hodgson Mill Gift Certificate Giveaway

***Giveaway is now closed. Thank you to all who entered!***

***The winner has been announced below…***

A couple of days ago, I was asked to participate in a blogger baking challenge put on by Hodgson Mill called the “Have a Grain Holiday!” Recipe Contest. I was sent a 5lb. bag of Hodgson Mill Whole Wheat flour and a 2lb. bag of Hodgson Mill “Best for Bread” flour to help assist me in putting together a new recipe.

Last night, I realized that I was kind of in the mood to make some homemade bread. I love bread. I love it a lot.

I also love sweet things. No secret there, right?

So I decided to combine the best of both worlds by making a loaf of this:

Cinnamon-Honey Whole Wheat Bread. And oh baby, is it delicious!

I made my bread in my bread machine this morning, but it’s very possible to make this by hand if you have the time and patience that I obviously do NOT have.

**To check out the recipe, just click here!**

The house smelled great all morning (I have the day off of work, in case you’re wondering) and could not wait to be able to incorporate it into today’s lunch.

I immediately sliced off two big pieces and topped one with butter and the other with my new jelly love.

But honestly, as exciting as the bread is for me…you know, since it’s in my house…I still have a nice little opportunity to share with all of you!

  • Man, time flies! 10 years ago today, we said “I do” and partied our faces off all night long. A whole lot has changed over the past decade, but one thing remains the same...you are still one lucky man @jhoran1314 😜 . Thank you for always putting up with my crap, for being an amazing dad to our boys, and helping me be the best version of me. These past 10 years have been awesome, and fun, and hard, and so rewarding...but we’re just getting started. 😉 Love you more than you’ll ever know 😘 . #10thweddinganniversary #anniversary #highschoolsweethearts #weddinganniversary #bestisyettocome
  • Merry Christmas from The Horan Fam! 🎄🎅🏻😍✨
  • In an effort to help teach the boys that Christmas is about so much more than just what’s under the tree, we set out this morning to spread some kindness and holiday cheer 🎅🏻💕 . We made stops at both Brinley’s Bags and @rmhc_albany, met some wonderful and caring people, and donated some items from each of their wish lists. . While I’d love to say the boys really got it, they were still fairly impartial to the whole thing. But I can absolutely say that I think we’ve found a new Christmas Eve tradition, and I can only hope that, with time, they’ll be as excited about it as I am 🤗 #MOK19 #spreadcheer #spreadkindness #christmaseve #brinleysbags #rmhc #seasonofgiving
  • This took me and @jhoran1314 two sittings. Yo @target, you and your #wondershop Rudolph’s Mix are beyonnnnnd dangerous 😳😁#rudolphsmix4life #myweakness #target #targetfinds
  • I am no stranger to the Dunkin' drive-thru on any given weekday morning, and a few iced coffees per week on my way to work is definitely not unheard of.😬Occasionally, I'll also grab myself a breakfast sandwich, and just recently, I tried the brand new Beyond Sausage Sandwich. WOW you guys.👀 #ad . In case you haven't heard, the new sandwich is made with a Beyond Sausage patty, which packs in 10 grams of 100% plant-based protein.💪🏼 No weird tastes. No weird textures. Just a GOOD sausage, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich! And it keeps me full for hours! ***GIVEAWAY ALERT!*** Want to try one for yourself? I've got the chance for TWO of you to win $25 in Dunkin' gift cards! Here's how to enter: 1) Follow @sweettoothcourt and @dunkin on Instagram ✅ 2) Like this photo ✅ 3) Leave a comment on this post telling me your favorite go-to order from Dunkin'! ✅ . . *Giveaway is open to US Residents, 18+ only, and will be closed at 11:59pm EST on (Sunday 11/24). Winner will be announced on (Monday 11/25). This giveaway is not affiliated, endorsed, or sponsored by Instagram. #ad #dunkin #BeyondSausageSandwich #DNKNxBYND
  • Jay and I had been planning a secret overnight trip to @greatwolflodge for the boys for about a month and a half, and seeing their reaction to the surprise made the wait totally worth it😲(you can see that in my IG stories today!). They swam until their fingers and toes were raisins, played a gazillion games, stayed up way past their bedtimes, and ate like kings.🤗 Aaaaand, now I’m ready to be back home, in my own bed 😴 #greatwolflodge #surprise #familyfun
