Gift Card and Cookies Giveaway

By 136 Comments

I really am loving today. I’m loving it a lot! And I’m thinking you guys may too when you check out the end of this post!

Being my first day of vacation this week, I slept in a bit, enjoyed a mug of coffee while lounging on the couch, and then headed out to the gym. On my way there, I snacked on a Clif Z Bar.

One of my favorite pre-workout snacks!

I hopped on the elliptical for 15 minutes of intervals before heading into my BodyPump class. The instructor actually mixed things up a bit and did Release 72, which I totally forgot used to be one of my favorites! SCORE. Open-mouthed smile

After class, I knew I had some errands to run, so I actually grabbed my entire peanut butter container before leaving the house this morning.

Yeah, I’m cool like that. Smile

I also brought a banana with me, which took many dunks into that pool of PB. It was incredible.

After my snacking in the gym parking lot was complete, I made an excuse to stop by Starbucks for a tall Skinny Caramel Macchiato.

Hey, I’m on vacation. Winking smile

***********************

Once I got home, it was past lunch time and my tummy was grumblin’! I was feeling a little snacky, so I put together a little snack plate:

Very Christmas-esque looking veggies for today: baby cukes, grape tomatoes, & celery.

My favorite component of my snack plate, however, was by far the amazing naan bread. After eyeing them for months, I finally picked up a package of Fabulous Flats Tandoori Naan bread during yesterday’s grocery trip.

I cut one of the two flats in half, sprayed it with a little butter-flavored non-stick cooking spray, and heated on the stove top for about 3 minutes. DELICIOUS!! Open-mouthed smile

***********************

Now, for the goods!

This afternoon, I spent a little time trying to organize my purse and wallet (scary!) and happened to come across this $25.00 gift card for Rock Bottom Restaurants, Inc.

Well, unfortunately for me, none of these restaurants are located anywhere near me. I’d really hate for it to go to waste, SOO…It’s up for grabs!

BUT wait…there’s MORE (so infomercial, right??) Winking smile

In addition to the $25.00 gift card, I will also include a dozen cookies of the winner’s choice! You can choose from:

Chewy Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Raisin Chocolate Chunk

Chocolate Butterscotch Cheesecake Chocolate Gooey Butter

  1. I'd love to win because we LOVE Rock Bottom. (Any my fiancee hates to spend money on going out to dinner so if we have an awesome gift card, I might be able to twist his arm into going! lol) and their Chicken Salad with Grapes is amazing.

  55. I want to win to prove to my 87 year old grandma who I live with that following food blogs pays off. She doesn't understand modern technology.

  60. I almost didn't post a comment because first I thought... "rock bottom restaurants? never heard of it." then I thought... "wow, no rock bottom restaurants near me, AND missing out on a chance to try Courtney's mouth watering cookies." UNTIL... I googled the locations of the restaurants and discovered that there is one in Boston, MA! My favorite big city (besides NYC, of course.) What a great way to spend a day in the city, and with a yummy snack to enjoy on the hour long ride!

  61. So jealous of your time off this week! I would love to win because Old Chicago is one of my favorite pizza places AND who doesn't love cookies?!
    Reply

  63. So funny that you are offering up this giftcard because I just recently realized that my local mall put in a Rock Bottom in place of my old favorite italian restaurant. I have been meaning to go and this will definitely give me an excuse :)

  65. I'd love to win because I can take my little cousins out to Rock Bottom after we go iceskating downtown. Might as well enjoy the cold, snowy weather while it's here!

  91. Hi Courtney! I'm going to be honest - while I would love to win that restaurant card, it's your cookies that I'm really after!! I am a middle school teacher in the Chicagoland area on the brink of report card writing time (curse the trimester system!). I can't think of anything better in keeping my brain cranking with those 85 personal narratives than having a box of your chewy chocolate chip cookies on hand! Also, I am a facebook friend (gotta increase my chances!)
    Reply

  93. Hello Courtney!! I'm always on your blog looking up your recipes! You are truly a inspiration on how to keep things healthy and but also fantastic! I was so excited to see your give away because your baked goods always look so good! And I would really appreciate that gift to put towards a MUCH needed date night for me and my hubby, when u have bills and two kids anything helps for a special night for the two of you and my two girls and hubby would love to share those cookies! Thanks : )

  106. I'd love to win! I currently work a 4/wk, 10hr/day job and my boyfriend (bless his heart) cooks every night so we don't have to eat super late. Taking him out to eat plus having some homemade cookies would be a perfect treat for him!
