Tropical Eats Giveway
Hello old friends and new friends! I recently made the transition from Blogger to WordPress and I figured, what better way to capture my reader’s attention than a giveaway? The main reason I made the WordPress switch-a-roo was because it offered a cleaner look with very handy tabs! Ah, who would have thought a little thing like tabs could win me over. Be sure to check out my “About” and “Adventures” sections for some fun tid-bits about me.
As a quick side note, when forwarding my Blogger account to WordPress, a lot of my previous post were altered. So if you’re browsing through old recipes, I promise I’ll update the pictures and text formats soon.
But let’s get back to my Tropical Eats Giveaway. I’m sure you’re all wondering what’s up for grabs, so I won’t keep you in suspense any longer. 
• 1 Bag of Quaker Ranch Quakes Rice Snacks
• 6 Quaker Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Breakfast Cookies
• 1 Strawberry Kellogg's Nutri-Grain Bar
• 1 Blueberry Kellogg's Nutri-Grain Bar
• Fruit Gushers-- you know you love them
• 1 Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Chewy Bar
• 1 CLIFBAR White Chocolate Macadamia Nut
• 1 Odwalla Banana Nut Bar
• 1 Peanut Butter Balance Ba
• 1 Yogurt Honey Peanut Balance Bar
• 2 Sweet Potato Scones from Nutless Wonders
• 1 Mango Sunrise Fruit Leather from the Stretch Island Fruit Co.
• 1 Autumn Apple Sunrise Fruit Leather from the Stretch Island Fruit Co.
How to enter the Tropical Eats Giveaway:
1.) Leave me a comment telling me what your favorite fast food restaurant is. (We have to spice up our healthy lives every once in a while right? My favorite is Wendy’s!)

And here’s a little secret, in about 2-3 weeks I’m going to host another Tropical Eats Giveaway that has a very special twist to it. But I’ll be sure to fill you all in on that later.

On occasion I love eating at Wendy’s, especially their spicy chicken! So good, oh and their chili in the winter time with the hot seasoning packet, makes you warm up real quick.

Hey Shannon! Good for you for making the switch to WordPress. I’m going to do that soon, too, but I need to make sure I have a free day to do it.
My favorite fast food place is probably Moe’s or Q’doba!
Congrats on the switch! I have been contemplating moving my blog also, but I am in the process of updating my blogspot blog right now, sooo we’ll see how that goes first!
And this giveaway rocks! I looove the Banana Nut Odwalla bar!
Your wordpress site looks great!

Ahhh I love love LOVE the new blog girlie! It is completely adorable! I have been eyeing wordpress as well…we shall see if I decide to make the switch, too. Do you like it better so far??
My favorite fast food restaurant…taco bell. Eek!
Hope you are having a fabulous day, love!
I really like Mr. Goodcents or Quiznos! Thanks for the opportunity.
Well I don’t eat meat so my pick would be Starbucks – their java chip is deadly but wonderful.
Favorite fast food is definitely Chickfila. I love their waffle fries, and everyone is always so friendly.
i have to say that chipotle, pita pit, and panera are my favorite fast food joints.
love the new blog!!!
I’m not going to lie. I’m really not a huge fast food fan. Every once in a while I like a Big Mac or a Sausage McMuffin, but I can’t say that McDonald’s is my favorite because I loathe them. Does Quizno’s or Subway count?
I added you to my Google Reader and I’m updating my blog roll right…NOW.
I also mentioned this giveaway on my blog because I REALLY want to win!
Everything looks so yummy! You can see the link here:

Uh Oh! I think I put my entry for your 1st Giveaway under the wrong post so here I go again.
My Favorite “Fast Food” place is also Wendy’s……I love their Taco Salad’s! However, I have to mention Five Guys as when I am feeling bad and craving a burger and fries they are the total BEST. And, of course both are within a mile of my house. =0

thank you so much for offering this generous giveaway- all the items look great (a few of my favorites in there and a bunch of things i’ve never tried)!
best new blog
I don’t crave fast food ever but if I had to go to one it would probably be Chipotle because their ingredients are pretty good and those burritos are filled with deliciousness!
Hi! I stopped by because your blog name is somewhat similar to mine… ok, so it’s just the tropical name, but I haven’t seen many with it. Anyway, my fav is Wendy’s- plain baked potato and a kiddie frostie! YUM!
I added you to my blog roll- followers!
And linked…. in my post: http://tropicalhappiness.blogspot.com/2009/10/5k-race-recap.html
My favorite fast food place is a local mexican place called Miguel’s Jr. They’ve got the best homemade hot sauce.
I’m a sucker for Chipotle…does that count as a fast food restaurant?? I think their ingredients may be too fresh to count. hahaha
The vegetarian salad with extra beans and extra pico de gallo (and guac if they’re nice!)!!!
P.s I’m having a ZenSoy pudding and soymilk giveaway! come on by if you’re interested!
