I did NOT have the best of weekends – I had fun at Halloween party and I made some amazing recipes with apple butter (don’t worry, recipe to come soon!), but other than that, I fell into a huge pile of bad luck on Saturday. I’m also going to appologize for the lack of photos of the actual Annie’s product– we took plenty, but Josh’s computer turned into a really expensive, shiny brick this morning, so they’re temporarily unavailable 😉 In the meantime, enjoy while I recyle pictures of foods where I USED these tasty morsels.
Anyway, bad mood for me = good day for everyone else, and not just because I stress made a cake that I brought into work. Free stuff is good enough to cheer anyone up, so today I decided to post a giveaway! I received a HUGE box of goodies from Annie’s Homegrown to review at least a month ago (probably two or three, if I’m being honest). They sent me so much stuff, that I just finished going through it all this weekend. You’ve been seeing these delicious noms make appearances in my posts, and now you can find out more about them and maybe win some for yourself!
Cheddar Squares – These were delightful! They were similar to your average cheese cracker but a lot less greasy with the perfect amount of salt. I used them to top off my cauliflower mac and cheese and it was perfection.
Berry Patch Organic Bunny Fruit Snacks – Another winner! Most fruit snacks have gelatin, so I can’t compare them to any other bread, but they were amazing. I love that they are naturally flavored.
Organic Honey Graham Crackers – Sadly, 2 of the packages in the box weren’t sealed properly because these were tasty. I used them in my smores toaster pastries and my smores pancakes, and also ate them with apple butter slathered on top.
Bunny Graham Friends – MY FAVORITE BY FAR. Ask Josh his thoughts on them. Oh. Wait. I ate them all before he could even try one. I didn’t use these in a single recipe, I just devoured by the handful. I’ve also tried GF bunny grahams that I purchased myself and while the texture between the two is different, both are something I can’t trust myself around.
Organic Pretzel Bunnies – These were good, but nothing that blew my socks off. I’m not really a huge fan of pretzels on their own, but I have big plans to eat more coating tempeh “chicken nuggets or dipped in pumpkin dip.
Bernie’s FarmTM Mac & Cheese Shapes – As someone who occasionally indulges in boxed mac and cheese (no judgment zone?), these were a great find. Made with non-animal enzymes, real cheese, and whole grains, this a healthier and tastier alternative to the standard blue box.
Spirals with Butter and Parmesan – I could say all the same great things about these noodles, and I will. I definitely preferred the cheese flavor, but this is a great way to mix it up and worth trying.
Now for the giveaway! I have 4 coupons for a free item from Annie’s, up to $7.50 each.

Bunny fruit snacks, berry patch. I’ve never tried any of Annies products, I don’t think I’ve even ever seen them anywhere but I am reading and hearing very good things and it makes me want to try the mac n cheese badly!! =) Thanks
In my experience, some grocery stores have Annie’s intermingled with other similar products and some have them sequested in a separate “natural” foods section. I’ve found that oddly enough, Target has the best selection in my area!
They all look so good would like to try them all.
