I’ve been in a whirlwind of family, food and football since Wednesday and can say I’ve really been enjoying every minute of it! Now that we’ve gotten the chance to share with all our family, I look forward to getting to share more about the new baby with you all tomorrow! Today though, I have a quick and special giveaway to share with you from my friends at LOVE Grown Foods…
Do you have a passion for delicious food and want to create your own business out of it, but have no idea where to start? Cooking Up a Business, by Rachel Hofstetter, is essential reading for aspiring entrepreneurs and gives you a real-world, up-close-and-personal preview of the exciting journey.
This book features the stories and profiles of national food companies–including 3 AWESOME Colorado Companies: Love Grown Foods, Justin’s, and Evol Foods! Win a copy of the book PLUS a box of goodies from Love Grown Foods, Justin’s, and Evol Foods!
You know how much I love Love Grown Foods, especially their little microwavable oatmeal cups for Hailey. I’ve picked up numerous evol burritos and bowls for quick and healthy freezer meals. And those little purse-packs of Justin’s nut butter are incredible on an apple… or squeezed right into the mouth
To win a copy of book PLUS a prize pack featuring goodies from all 3 companies, leave a comment telling me one thing you are passionate about (good food? your health? model rockets?) and why.
I’ll randomly choose a winner on Thursday, December 5. Open to US residents only.
And don’t forget to check out these awesome companies. They’re doing great things! #CookingUpABusiness

Heather @TheSoulfulSpoon says
Thanks for the giveaway!!:)
As a HLB, I’m passionate about good food because I’m a nutrition major and love healthy foods, but even more than that, I’m passionate about eating a variety of healthy foods now, instead of fearing certain ones like I used to. Being passionate about health and embracing recovery from a previous eating disorder have now led me to appreciate health and food on a whole different level- as nourishment, not something to fear. It’s easy to be passionate about health, but when you can do it after formally fearing food and treating your body poorly through misusing food- it becomes such a beautiful gift of life.
Thank you for this giveaway again!! I really enjoy your blog:)
Brenda says
I used to be passionate about eating healthy and exercise, now those are both in my life but they aren’t something that I care about THAT much. I would say I am passionate about being a good parent. That’s really on the front of my mind these days.
