CK Bakery Cakes in Jar Giveaway

Posted by: Laura | Comments (461)

Just in time for Valentine’s Day – here’s a fun giveaway from CK Bakery Shop!  It is no secret that I love jars (like a crazy woman).  Throw some cake in that jar, send it to me in the mail, and hand me a fork - well you’ve just made me a very happy person.

Kim began making cakes in jars when her husband was deployed overseas.  She found that this was a great way to send a treat to her husband – a treat that would stay fresh for a very long time.  We received some of her cakes last year to review and loved them.  When she sent us more last week, my kids were overjoyed to have more to try.  I thought my 14 year old was going to devour all three pint sized jars in one sitting.  (Thankfully, he has more self control than that.)  However, between bites, he kept going on and on about how good and moist and flavorful they were.  In fact, I almost handed the computer to him right then and there so that he could write this review.  He couldn’t decide which cake flavor he liked better, couldn’t get over how moist they were, couldn’t get enough….  :)

You’ll be happy to know that I was able to sneak a small bite of each cake before my boys finished them off.  Red Velvet, Almond Coconut Chocolate, Pineapple Upside Down Cake – all three were great.  And check out all the other flavors CK Bakery offers.

What I love best about CK Bakery is that you can purchase a cake (or six or more!) and have them delivered anywhere you want, including APO/AFO addresses.  Her prices are reasonable, and I believe I already told you how much we enjoyed the cakes.  :)  Have someone special in your life you’d like to surprise with a treat?  Check out CK Bakery Shop.

Kim is offering to give two winners a Six Pack of Cakes, valued at $30 – you pick the flavors!  Leave a comment on this post for a chance to win.  Join CK Bakery on Facebook, and leave an additional comment here for a second entry in this giveaway.

I’ll draw two random winners on Monday, February 6.  Please watch for a post stating the winners as you will be responsible for contacting me if your name is chosen!

It is no secret that I love Tropical Traditions.  They are one of my favorite go-to online resources for high quality coconut oil, non-toxic soaps and lotions, and many other wonderful, healthy products.  If you watch, they have great sale prices and often run free shipping deals that make your purchase much easier!

Tropical Traditions is also wonderful about offering fun giveaways here at Heavenly Homemakers.  This time, they’ve put together a Valentine’s Day Pampering Package that is full of some of my very favorite skin care products.  Here’s what is up for grabs:

I would have to say that not many days go by in which I do not use at least two or more of the products in that list.  I love every single one of them.  I especially love the way my skin feels after using such pure, clean products.  And I love that I can feel 100% good about using these products and knowing that they won’t hurt me or my family.  I even use these soaps on Malachi, and if you know our history and my fear of using any soap products on him, this is really saying something!

Interested in pampering yourself with these great Tropical Traditions products?  Leave a comment here on this post for a chance to with this package.  I’ll draw one random winner on Monday, January 30.  Please watch for a post stating the winner as you will be responsible for contacting me if your name is chosen!

Katie, from Modern Alternative Mama, has done it again.  She’s put together some wonderful whole foods eBooks in the past, and has now put out another great one:  Wholesome Comfort.

This eBook absolutely deserves its name.  Before I’d even tried any of the recipes, I found this book comforting.  Yes, this ebook shouts comfort simply by reading through it.  :)  I could live off the recipes in this eBook, and I’m pretty sure my family wouldn’t complain either.

It seems that Katie and I think alike.  She appreciates real, whole food ingredients just like I do.  All of these recipes are simple and basic, just like I prefer.  Baked Macaroni and Cheese, Crock Pot Chicken and Rice, Italian Sausage, Twice Baked Potatoes, Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge….  See, I told you it was comforting just to read.  And now to try more of those recipes!

Most of the recipes Katie includes are grain free, which is wonderful for those of you with allergies, or for all of us who want to venture out of our whole wheat comfort zone a little bit and try alternative flours.  I love the look of her tried and true recipe for Almond Flour Dinner Rolls.  The eBook also includes many egg, dairy, and peanut free recipes.

I think Katie has outdone herself with this eBook and I encourage you to check it out.  You’ll love all the comforting recipes you’ll find to feed your family!

Interested in winning a copy of Wholesome Comfort? Katie is giving away three copies here today.  Leave a comment on this post for a chance to win.  For an extra entry, join Modern Alternative Mama’s Facebook Page, then leave a separate comment here letting me know that you did.  I’ll draw three random winners on Monday, January 23.  Please watch for a post stating the winners as you will be responsible for contacting me if your name is chosen!

We all love to bake during holiday season.  Or, if we don’t love to bake, we all love to eat.  Right?  ;)

One of my very favorite sources of healthy, organic food online is Tropical Traditions.  (Free shipping today if you didn’t see that already!)  They offer the finest choices of many organic foods, and always have a great sale going on.  In addition, I really appreciate Tropical Traditions because they have been wonderful to work with here at Heavenly Homemakers.  They frequently offer great giveaways here, giving all of you a chance to win some of their wonderful products.

This time, Tropical Traditions is offering a fun Holiday Baking Package, which includes:

I absolutely love using their palm shortening for pie crusts.  (Here is my whole wheat pie crust recipe.)  And I believe we all know that I have a great fondness for coconut flour.  Of course, their shredded coconut is wonderful for a variety of recipes.  But their brown rice syrup is a new addition to my kitchen.  I appreciated that they sent me some to “play with”.

I decided to use it to make Chocolate Crispy Balls, very similar to these Healthier Rice Crispy Treats.  Here’s how I did it.  (Super simple, by the way!)

Chocolate Crispy Balls

1 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
1/3 cup brown rice syrup
1/3 cup chocolate chips
3 cups Crispy Rice Cereal

In a medium saucepan, stir peanut butter, brown rice syrup and chocolate chips over medium heat until chocolate is melted.  Mix in rice cereal, then shape into balls.  Eat as is, or chill before serving.


I haven’t done lots of research to know very much about the nutritional value of brown rice syrup, but for now, I’ll go with the fact that I trust Tropical Traditions.  Plus, we’ll all be careful not to overindulge on Chocolate Crispy Balls.  (hopefully)  :)

Interested in winning this fun Holiday Baking Package?  Leave a comment on this post for a chance to win.  I’ll draw a random winner on Friday, December 23.  Please watch for a post stating the winner as you will be responsible for contacting me if your name is chosen!

I’ve shared this with you before, but let me say it again:  I LOVE BEEF.  Chicken is great, turkey is nice, and venison works for me too.  But I can’t go very long without my beef or I start feeling shaky.  (I think it’s something about needing iron?)  I love beef.  I need beef.  And I’m not exaggerating.  (Just ask my family – they know better than to stand between Mama and the cow.)

I have recently been introduced to Scott River Ranch, an organic cattle ranch in northern California.  I love hearing about how careful this ranch is about caring for their herd.  Scott River Ranch is:

- USDA Organic
- American Grassfed Association Certified: their cows are never fed grain or corn from birth to market… ONLY grass
- Animal Welfare Approved: they don’t brand or rope, and they use an AWA slaughterhouse for butchering
- Salmon Safe: the Scott River runs through our ranch, and this certifies that they work tremendously hard to minimize their negative environmental impact

This means that their beef is among the safest and healthiest available.  Beyond all of this, their meat is tasty.  I’m talking - make your whole family pass out in delight tasty.  I made one of their beef roasts on Monday, and it melted in our mouths.  It was the best roast I’ve ever eaten, and again, I’m not exaggerating.  All six of us agreed (and fought over who got seconds).  So, not only is this beef extremely healthy for us to eat, it is delicious.

I highly encourage you to check out Scott River Ranch as a source for organic, grass fed beef.  This is beef you can trust from a ranch that cares about it’s product.  Just be prepared for your family to be in shock from the flavor of your meal, and to knock you over with hugs because you were the one who prepared it.

Scott River Ranch is giving away a fantastic package worth $155!  This package includes:

- 10 lbs of ground beef
- 2 Rib Eye Steaks
- 2 T-Bone Steaks
- 1 Round Roast
- 1 Chuck Roast

Leave a comment on this post for a chance to win.  Join the Scott River Ranch Facebook page for a second chance to win (leaving a separate comment here for doing this).

I’ll draw a random winner on Monday, December 19.  Please watch for a post stating the winner as you will be responsible for contacting me if your name is chosen!

P.S.  Right now, Scott River Ranch is offering free shipping
on all orders over $150 - a great deal!
