So, for some reason, I love Valentine's Day. I'm a single (& happy) lady who just loves love. I smile when I see happy couples holding hands and just believe that if you put out love, you get it in return. It's a simple and maybe a little naive concept but in this crazy world, we all need a little blind faith, right?
In that spirit, I am giving away (2) Sweet & Sara Heart Shaped Chocolate Dipped Strawberry Marshmallows! One for you and one for your sweetie! (Or grandma, brother, co-worker, whoever you love!) This a wonderful vegan and ethical company based in Long Island, New York. Here is a blurb from their website:
Sara Sohn has been vegan for 20 years. A few years back, she decided it had been way too long since she’d had one of her favorite childhood snacks: the rice crispy treat. With no culinary background but a lot of determination (and vegan sweets on the mind), Sara began her quest to create a vegetarian and vegan marshmallow, “the Holy Grail of animal-free sweet treats.” Food scientists warned her that her attempts would be futile and that reproducing the properties of gelatin in marshmallows would be impossible. More determined than ever, after ten months of tireless experimentation, Sara finally came up with a recipe for the perfect marshmallow: rich, creamy, mouthwatering, and completely gelatin-free!
The rules!
You must enter by midnight, Wednesday February 1st CST. Leave a comment here telling me what you love/hate about Valentine's Day or on No Meat Mama's Facebook page or on Twitter (but only one comment will apply per person). I will only be shipping within in the US, sorry my lovely foreign readers. Along with your comment, leave your name + e-mail address so I can notify the winner. I will ship the treats out late next week so you get them in time for V Day! Spread this link around, I want to share the love!
xoxo,
No Meat Mama
I can't stand Valentine's Day just in principle, but I do love the half-off piles of chocolate at Walgreens on February 15th!
ReplyDeleteAll my e-mail addresses have my full real name in them but you know me on Facebook. ;)
I'm excited, these marshmallows always seem outside my price range but maybe I should splurge sometime soon.
I'm a sucker for valentine's day just because I love all things hearts and love. ;) gibmirdeinehand@gmail.com !
ReplyDeleteWhat do I dislike about Valentine's Day? Radio advertisements for jewelers. I don't mind all of the candy, except that my daughter sees it and begs for it constantly!

lady! lemme tell you. valentines is mostly a buncha commercialism and that annoys me. but, i kinda like it. cuz even though i'm single, i'm not the bitter type.
ReplyDeletei really love valentines day as a way to tell people i care about that i love them! and candy, of course :)
ReplyDeleteI love making ridiculously silly crafty gifts that under other circumstances would be laughed at but because it's Val Day they get cheerfully (and somewhat laughingly) cherished. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks!
I have a love/hate relationship with Valentine's Day. I really dislike the commercialization of feelings and the idea that you need to have a "special day" set aside just to let the people in your life know that you care about them.
ReplyDeleteEvery day should be Valentine's Day IMHO.... and see that's just it... I'm definitely an old fashioned kind of romantic at heart. I relish just about any chance to show my sweetie that I care about her in a fun and original way. On a day when it's somewhat expected, I still like to see if I can come up with a new and surprising way to show my affection for her.
I love those little paper Valentines we used to give away as kids. I also love conversation hearts!
ReplyDeleteI'm delayed, but just want to say congrats on the year anniversary!
