Random.org has done its thing, and selected the four winners of the giveaway. Congratulations, all! 

I’ll be back next time with a food post and new recipe.

NuNaturals Stevia gift pack winners (see this post for details):

1) Stacie–Number 23! 

Stacie’s comment:  

“I have a HUGE sweet tooth — and a family history of cancer, diabetes, and heart disease — so I try my hardest to stay away from it if I can. I would LOVE to be able to try this brand of stevia to bake up some yummy goods to satisfy my sweet tooth — especially those brownies – wow!”

Hope this prize pack does the trick, Stacie!

2) Courtney–Number 49!

Courtney’s comment:

“Oh my goodness Ricki, where to start?!? First of all–those brownies! Wow. That is it. Wow. They look and sound purely decadent and amazing…

Second of all, I have been wanting to try NuNaturals for so so so so soooooooooooo SO long. Seriously! It is just *SO* expensive and I haven’t been able to justify the cost without even knowing if I would like it…I would be thrilled to win some! You don’t even know how happy that would make me, lol.”

Glad to know this will make you happy!  I know what you mean about the expense. . . luckily, you only have to use a few drops. And even MORE luckily for you, you get some for free!

3) Shirley from Gluten Free Easily–Number 89!

 Shirley’s comment:

“Those look awesome, Ricki! I tried stevia long ago and didn’t care for it then, but definitely want to try it again. )(Read more on my blog tomorrow.) Your post is timely. I got both your books last week as you know (and am thrilled with them!), but I would love to add one to my support group’s library.”

Since you won the stevia prize pack, you can give it another try–I really do find that the NuNaturals has no aftertaste.  And glad you’re enjoying the books!

Deb Z–Number 58!

Deb’s comment:

“i’m so impressed by how creative your desserts are — sweet potato brownies?!?!? yowza. i’ve never cooked with stevia before and, as i continue to explore alternative, natural sweeteners, it’s next on my list. i’m surprised you needed both agave and stevia in this recipe. anyway to just use the stevia? or, do you think brown rice syrup could substitute for the agave? thanks for the great ideas!”

Well,  you’ll have the chance to bake more desserts with stevia with recipes from the ebook.  Hope you enjoy them!

Congrats, everyone! Please contact me at dietdessertdogsATgmailDOTcom with your mailing address (and phone number for Canadians) so I can arrange to have your prizes sent!
