Hello everyone! I know you’ve been enjoying our holiday event because I’ve been reading comments, tweets, Facebook statuses, and getting emails saying so. Every individual or company participating in this event in some way is thrilled to hear that! Here we are at the most exciting part of each week … where we announce the winners of the daily giveaways. Hopefully, you’ve been following along. (Here’s the complete line-up.) I really recommend you do follow along to check out each blogger’s phenomenal recipe and enter daily because every entry goes towards the fantastic final prizes—Caveman Cookies gift package of $89 value, $150 shopping spree at largest gluten-free store Free From Gluten, and the 5200 Healthy Lifestyle package from Vitamix (comes with the grain container and is valued at $550). But wait there’s more … I also recommend that you follow along because some additional prizes continue to be thrown into the mix and all entries will be eligible for those, too. What does that mean? It means that if you are just joining our event or got started even a little bit late you might want to check out the posts you missed. While the “daily” giveaways for most of the previous posts are closed, you can still leave a comment on those posts and that comment will give you yet another entry for the final prizes and the “surprise” prizes.

Without further ado, here are all the winners for Week 2! Congratulations to all!

First, the winners of the “added” giveaways this week …

~ The winner of Tropical Traditions coconut oil:

AJ left the winning comment over at Lexie’s Kitchen on Lexie’s Chocolate Pomegranate Clusters post.

“Great idea! To simplify the holidays, we are staying home.”

~ The winner of the 5-lb bag of Honeyville Almond Flour:

Suzanne H. left the winning comment at Diet, Dessert and Dogs on Ricki’s Chocolate Mint Truffles post.

“These look amazing! Thanks for the recipes and the giveaway!”

~ The winner of Mommy, What Is Celiac Disease? and one cupcake holder (similar to these).

AMDeis left the winning comment here on gfe on our kickoff post–“I find myself looking forward to all of the GF recipes that are sure to be amazing in light of our need for holiday food.”

Next, the daily giveaway winners …

******Day 6 ~ Stacy at Paleo Parents with Monkey Bread

The winner of Modern Spice and iSPICE app combo:

Kmercer–“I’m gluten free, mom is diabetic, brother-in-law is lactose intolerant.

This bread looks fabulous!”

The winner of Paleo Comfort Foods:

Katie Kruger—“Wow what a recipe!  I am trying to learn to cook all things gluten free for my son who was diagnosed gluten intolerant this summer, and myself (wheat sensitive) am just beginning to explore paleo diet and am intrigued.  I’m especially wanting recipes for holiday treats as we’ll have to forego so many of our traditional favorites, this monkey bread will definitely be on our new menu! I have the Paleo cookbook on my wish list, so winning would be delightful.  Thank you for all the great recipes, blog lists and links!”

The winner of Dangerous Grains:

The winner of The Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook:

Rebecca Ashley Mitchell—“This recipe sounds amazing! I cannot wait to try it, now to write a letter to Santa asking for an ice cream maker!!”

The second winner of 7 Quick-Start Tips for Living a Healthy Gluten-Free Fit Life:

Captain Momma–“We are cutting back this year. Few presents, not going all out on food and stuff and just realxing at home with our wee family  This sounds like an amazing giveaway! Any of the books would be welcome editions to our home.I need to make some cinnamon buns for the kids to enjoy. Thanks!”

The winner of Sweet Freedom:

Heather–“This looks delicious! But I am currently grain-free so I can’t partake but I am very much looking forward to trying your cinnamon rolls. I am keeping things simple but not doing as much cooking and baking as I usually do.”

************Day 12 ~ Elana at Elana’s Pantry with Gingerbread Apple Crisp

The Cooking for Isaiah winner:

Mara–We are actually traveling this holiday to Ohio which is something we don’t normally do. So, not much simplification (even though that’s my motto in life) going on here, except that I love being able to ride in the car while my husband drives (the whole 13 hours) while I read and relax. So it will actually be quite relaxing

The first Paleo Comfort Foods winner:

Cara Werner—“Elana’s Pantry, I LOVE all of your recipes you share! You’ve made going Paleo that much easier. Paleo Comfort Foods is on my Christmas Wish List! Hope I win!!! :)”

The second Paleo Comfort Foods winner:

Next week about this time, I’ll be sharing the winners for Days 13 through 19, so please stick around for more Home for the Holidays … Gluten-Free Style recipes and giveaways.

      AnnMarie–I’m excited for you! 🙂 I’m sending you an email right now. With so many prizes, posts, etc. (and that thing called real life LOL), things don’t always happen as quickly as I’d like. I should have put in a prize for some staff (“people”) and then just given that prize to myself. 😉

      Hugs,

          Hi again AnnMarie–No worries, dear! I didn’t think you were being ungrateful … I was just explaining to all reading what the deal was. 😉 Hoping to have all emails out by the end of the day, but folks are welcome to email me with name and mailing addresses. 🙂 That would be helpful! I know you and I have already connected with that info though, so we’re good!

          Thanks very much for the sweet words … they make me and all the others working on our event so happy! Enjoy the season!

      Hi Suzanne–I’d call that serendipity for sure! There is almond flour serendipity in this world, right? Like when you’re just about out and Honeyville runs a special? 😉 Thankfully, that happens to me a lot. 🙂

      Thanks for taking the time to say thanks, both for your prize and for our entire event! Happy holidays!

    Just started to follow you on Twitter – I left a “comment” about the wonderful looking cream cheese cookies, but not sure if I’m suppose to leave comments on Twitter or elsewhere (a little confused about this….)

    I’m very interested in recipes that use almond flour. What a fabulous contest! Congratulations to all the winners!

      Hi Jill–Thanks for the follow! The giveaway winners come from comments on the blog posts only. There are 17 posts so far. So go check them out and leave a comment if you like on any of them. All those comments are entries into the final giveaway and sporadic giveaways during the event. Each day there’s also a giveaway announced that will last for 48 hours. Follow daily, leave comments, and you’ll be in good shape for our event. 🙂

      Lots of our participating bloggers use almond flour, so if you don’t see many of those recipes in our event, be sure to check out the different blogs. Thanks for the kind words!

    Awesome, I can’t wait to receive “The Pure Kitchen” and read what all it has to offer my Mom! She discovered her gluten and dairy intolerances 6 months ago, so we’re still adjusting. I’m so happy to have run across gfe’s facebook page because Shirley makes gluten-free easy! Thank you Shirley for hosting this spectacular event, all the bloggers for sharing their recipes, and all who have provided the giveaways!

    Imagine my thrill and delight to get home from a Christmas party and read an email saying that I had WON the Dairy Free, Gluten Free Kitchen Cookbook!! I may just camp out on my porch awaiting its arrival, I am THAT excited.

    Since becoming a GF Vegan in September these type of cookbooks are worth their weight in GOLD! Thank you! Best Christmas gift EVER! I am SO very grateful. Thank you! This makes my new healthier lifestyle possible. And the gift of good health and a pain free life is without measure. Shirley, you are SANTA!

      Wow, Lori, sure sounds like you had a fantastic evening! Congrats again! Camping out might be chilly and too time consuming this time of year with the weather and holidays and all, but I do love your enthusiasm. 😉 Hopefully, you’ll have your prize in your hands soon. 🙂 I absolutely love the last part of your comment … “the gift of good health and a pain free life is without measure.” Thank you so very much for sharing that!

      Merry Christmas and lots of holiday hugs to you,
