Got Fruit? *Giveaway*

Posted by Caryn Bailey 77 Comments

This giveaway is now closed.  Thanks for stopping by!  The winners are Jessie, Annalene, Peggy, and Kristy.  Congrats!

So it seems like this week is all about food!  I totally did not plan for it to go that way.  But apart from shopping for clothes, shoes, and school supplies, you’re probably shopping for food items to place in your child’s lunch.  I personally prefer to eat and give my son fresh fruit, however, it’s not the most portable.  Brown apples and mushy bananas don’t necessarily appeal to him (or to me!).

A lot of canned and jarred fruit products contain heavy syrups, which translate into sugar.  I’m not a fan.  In fact, the only time I’ll buy canned or jarred fruit is if it’s low in sugar and it won’t be convenient for me to provide fresh fruit for my son or my family.

dolemagicAwhile back I told you about Dole Fruit Bowls in Sugar Free Gel.  The company wants to help families incorporate more fruit into their diet.  In fact, they have a pretty impressive recipe selection with recipes in all categories (not just desserts or breakfast).  They’ve recently launched a contest website with tips, hints and recipes.  On the site, you can enter to win a trip for three to Maui, Hawaii.  There are over sixty daily prizes, eight weekly prizes and one grand prize.  Visit daily to increase your chances of winning.

Win It! Four of you will two coupons each for Dole products. Simply head on over to the site and take a look at all their recipes. Come back here and leave me a comment with the one you’d like to try.  Comments will close on September 28, 2009 at 10 PM PST. One comment per person, please (unless you do the extra credit). US residents only. Duplicates and comments not including the above information will be disqualified. Comments are moderated. If you don’t see your comment in a reasonable amount of time, send me an email. Bloggers and non-bloggers may enter. If you don’t want to leave your email address, please be sure to check back for my announcement on the winner. Please note that winners must respond within 48 hours of being announced/contacted or another winner will be drawn.

Want an extra entry? Do any or all of the following and receive an extra entry for each one.

Be sure to leave me a separate comment for each additional entry.
