This is a somewhat easy giveaway as I won a $25 Target GC from Plastic Jungle and am going to pass it on to help my eight year old win a Pepsi Refresh Grant for $25,000 for her non-profit Angels4Epilepsy.  Jamie was diagnosed with epilepsy two year's ago and has had some struggles along the way.  One thing she learned was to give back to others and this took the form of starting an organization that gives back to children.  Sometimes she gives to children with other ailments or to families staying at the Ronald McDonald House but mostly, she provides gift bags to children hospitalized with epilepsy.  Since starting officially in 2010, she has provided over 300 gift bags to children in Georgia and Florida and soon to Indiana.


 

 


The grant will be used to purchase bears, gift cards for families in need to purchase their children bicycle helmets and medical alert USB bracelets as well as awareness posters about how strobe lights on motorcycles affect some with epilepsy.


Your vote can help her win this great grant to help other children.  Voting is daily and can be done online and via text.

Arnold/Brownberry/Oroweat Nutty Grain Health-full Bread Recipes

Arnold. Bread Perfected.

I'm an Arnold bread fan and if you ever come over to enjoy our pool, you would always find a stock of Arnold Bread Thins in our refrigerator and freezer.  There are so many reasons why I love these carb and calorie reduced little powerhouses.  Now, I found out that Arnold or as others might know this brand as Brownberry or Oroweat, there is Nutty Grain Health-full Bread!

Nutty Grain

This is ideal for me because I try to pick whole grain breads which also delivers low carbs and calories but doesn't skip out on taste.  I strive for a high fiber diet and it looks like this will give me the alternative when I want a slice of bread over a Sandwich Thin.  It has only 80 calories a slice and provides a nutty flavor of toasted sesame seeds (yummy!).  Another HUGE bonus for me, no artificial coloring, flavors OR preservatives.

Here are some tasty recipes that I'm going to try:

Anyone Interested in a $50 Paypal Giveaway?

I'm working hard to get the word out about my daughter's non-profit running for a $25,000 Pepsi Refresh Grant and am trying everything I can to compete with the big organizations running with the volume of people they have coupled with the Pepsi Power Vote codes.

So ... my giveaways so far haven't generated as much hype (i.e. votes) as I expected and so thought I'd see if anyone would be interested in a $50 cash Paypal giveaway in exchange for votes for:
