Happy Thanks-Giveaway

By now you are likely aware that today is Thanksgiving Day in Canada.  Along with all the the things in my life that I am thankful for on a daily basis, I am especially thankful to Erica at LARABAR for helping me with my very first giveway.  I feel like I have finally joined the club!

She asked me to choose 4 bars to try out and then review so I visited their website to see the entire list of available flavors.  Right now there are 19 in the lineup, but I had no trouble making  my choices:

• Peanut Butter and Jelly, cause it's my favorite
• Cashew Cookie, cause it's The Captain's favorite
• Lemon Bar, cause The Captain would probably like it and I can use the brownie points
• Ginger Snap, cause we both loooove ginger snap cookies

When they arrived in my mailbox on Friday, I was very tempted to just rip them all open and eat them, one after the other... I was alone, after all, and who would know?

But I kept that greedy fat little girl inside me at bay, brought them home to the boat, and showed them to The Captain and told him all about how good they are for him... gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, non-GMO, and kosher.  I also told him that they contain only natural, real ingredients, with names we recognize and love.  I cannot tell you how unimpressed he was.  He just wanted to eat them too, cause we love them so much!



So here I sit, with these 4 lovely LARBARS that are calling my name, the bright colored paper krinkling and wrinkling and dying to be stripped off the luscious date and nut bars inside.  Who knew I would turn into a hoarder.?

Here is what I have decided to do, just to drag out our enjoyment a little longer... starting tomorrow, and for the next 3 days, I am going to open one bar and share it with The Captain.  Then I will come back and do a post about whether or not we liked it.  Yeah, right!  It's my first giveaway afer all and I want it to last as long as it can.

But what does all that mean for you?  Well, Erica has kindly offered to send the same 4 flavors that I chose, to one of my readers.  Wasn't that so nice of her?  She did ask that I limit the entries to Canadian and U.S. readers as the only 2 countries where LARABARS are sold are Canada and the U.S.A.  I hope you will understand.

One lucky winner will get all 4 bars:

peanut butter and jelly

cashew cookie

lemon bar

ginger snap
