Holla! How did your investigations go? You know, for your Case of the Mondays?
Well, in CASE you missed it; here’s what I’ve been up to the past few days, along with a scrumdidlyumptious recipe that you probably already have most of the ingredients for in your pantry!
Exquiche me, Are You Going to Eat That?
Season’s Hottest Chick Flick and a Giveaway Reminder
Ok, I know you’ve all been chomping at the bit screen for the start of my giveaway (always had a wild imagination), and your patience has finally been rewarded!
I mentioned them on DAY 1 of my blog. In my very first post, A Sneak Snack Peak, I gushed over the amazingness that are GRAB THE GOLD BARS!!!
And now, an ENTIRE BOX of these delectable circles can be yours!
The Grab the Gold website describes them as “A Healthy On-the-Go-Snack: All natural with with organic oats and soy nuggets and a delicious CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER taste”
And I describe them as yummy in my tummy, plus being super good for you! I have yet to find a packaged snack that satisfies my tastebuds and gives me the same prolonged energy boost as these babies.
Plus, look at their bangerang nutritional stats: 1 bar has 193 cals, 5 grams of fat, 25 grams of (good) carbs, 7 grams of fiber (!) and 11 grams of protein (!)
Click HERE to check out the Grab the Gold product sheet for a full ingredient list AND to see how GTGs stack up against other leading bars.
So what’s the catch (you sly devils)?!
These ROCKSTAR bars are NIGH impossible to find! They’re sold in select stores in several Southern and Midwestern states, but they haven’t gone commercial anywhere and they’re nowhere to be found in NYC. Thing is, they’re SO good that I end up biting the bullet and ordering them at a pretty price tag.
Well, one lucky winner is going to be able to have their bars and eat them too for a MUCH more palatable price tag!
Let’s get to it!

I already follow you!
But I did tweet: Nellie Black @nelliepblack
So proud of @llbeaniebumbles and her blog!
(FYI your twitter name is actually @llbeaniebumbles)
Aaaand…my can’t-live-without snack is a throwback from our theta days – pretzels with (lite) cream cheese. BUT GTG bars are a very close second. And I’m done harassing your comment page [for] now.
Great combo…but you know what’s even better? Stone-ground crackers, cheddar cheese and Take it Away SAWCE! Oh the good days!
Hahaha ahh Nellie. I love you.
I tweeted! “hankering for a sweet/nutritious treat? @llbeaniebumbles has a giveaway for you on her blog, http://www.beaniebumbles.com! you should enter.”
Loves it! And yes, Nellie is a magical being! Dunno how the girl does it 🙂
Right now I am obsessed with Peach Salsa from Kitchen Kettle Village and trying to find whole grain tortilla chips to eat it with!
Omg I must try this alleged Peach salsa. I LOVE fruity salsas. TJs has a really yummy one with pineapple chunks in it!
Can’t live without peanut butter 😉
Umm…check…double check.
Can’t live without greek yogurt!
Oh girl I hear that!
OK ready for it?? The snack I can’t live without is now Grab the Gold bars! I tried my first one today and it was tasty, energizing, and kept me full for 3 hours! I have been looking for such a snack all my life. Plus, even though I read your blog everyday, I just clicked “follow,” started following you on Twitter, tweeted about your give away, AND blogged about your give away:

I want to win LL’s give away featured on today’s post @llbeaniebumbles !!
Hmm let’s see fave snack I can’t live without…. definitely has to be peanut butter related. Whether it’s starting off my day with pb toast or fighting back the 5 o’clock tummy runblings I can’t live without my crunchy peanut butter!
Now give me the gold!! 🙂
Ditto! I really can’t imagine my life without peanut butter OR almond butter 🙂
And throw my name in the hat again b/c I follow you now too! woohoo! I am not on twitter but if I was you can bet I’d be tweeting you!
Yeah girl! LOVES IT
I don’t think I could live without Peanut Butter and _____ Anything really! 😉
Following you!
Hi! I went to UVA and although I don’t think we were friends, somehow we are friends on facebook and I’ve discovered your blog and love it! The first post that I ever saw was the avocado-chocolate mousse love that you made. I haven’t tried it yet but want to! xo, Carey Beth
Hi Carey Beth! I’m so glad you found my blog! I absolutely remember you from UVA :). You MUST try the avocado mousse. It is truly to die for!
annnnnnnd… my favorite snack is wheat thins and hummus…
yummm such a good choice
and, I made the quiche last night. and there is none left as I had the final piece for lunch about 20 mins ago…
I had my last piece of quiche tonight too! Have been contemplating my next flavor since I have one leftover pie crust just waitin’ for me in the freezer. Combination thoughts?
[…] GIVEAWAY and potentially win a box of amazingly delicious chocolate-peanut butter snack bars! Click HERE for all the deets! Don’t let me slip through your hot lil’ […]
I love Grab the Gold bars! They’re delicious. I feel a little bad entering the giveaway since I can get them at The Produce Place down the street from my house… But I’m a sucker for a contest with a good prize.
That said, my go-to snack is an apple with nut butter. My favorite is a cripps pink apple with either Smuckers natural crunchy peanut butter or Justin’s honey almond butter!
Yummm I just had Justin’s Maple Almond Butter on my breakfast toast! That sounds so delicious! Thanks for entering Liza 🙂
LL I love your blog and the Gold Bars! They are no where to be found in Hotlanta so I would treasure them. I have to say there is a tie between my favorite snack food – my Mom’s homemade granola and after a long rough day in the cadaver lab vanilla (or peanut butter) yogurt covered pretzels make life that much better! Xoxo
hahaha “cadaver lab” and “yogurt pretzels”…Never thought I’d live to see those phrases in the same sentence. Or maybe I WONT…
Combination thoughts for your 2nd pie crust — prosciutto, cherry tomatoes, and goat cheese! If goat cheese is your thing. Also, I thought blogged about the quiche — http://graceanddaisychains.blogspot.com/ — it’s not technically about the giveaway but maybe it still counts!
Oh my gosh I LOVE that idea! Yes I adore goat cheese. And I didn’t realize you have a blog! I just read your past few posts and I adore it! Really well done. Look forward to following!
Haha I never win these things, but my favorite snack is a bacon topped with maple syrup and powdered sugar.
Thanks for entering but the giveaway ended last night! Stay tuned for more in the future!
