NOTICE

At the time of publication, all recipes were free of the allergens listed as being free of in the title (i.e. soy-free, milk-free, etc.), and all other information shared was accurate to the best of my knowledge.
Though I strive to update outdated information quickly and work diligently to make sure you have the most accurate information possible at all times, it is your duty to double check labels EVERY TIME to ensure that the ingredients you use are SAFE FOR YOU.
DO NOT RELY SOLELY ON THIS INFORMATION AS INGREDIENTS AND INFORMATION DO CHANGE.
Your doctor or allergist should also be your first go-to for information on how to handle your medical needs. That being said, if you DO notice an error, please send me an email letting me know (tell me what page or recipe the error is on, what the error is, etc.), and I will correct the error ASAP.
Thank you so much!

Please Be Advised:
I make sure all of my recipes use foods that are free of the allergens they say they are free of. You will need to do the same. For help with this, please see the appropriate "Alternative Names" page for the allergen(s) you need the recipe free of.

12 Days of Christmas {Goodies} Feature Day and Two Giveaways



Welcome to the Feature Day of
The 12 Days of Christmas {Goodies} link-up
(plus TWO giveaways),
brought to you by Natural and Free and Glued to My Crafts!

Seventy!  Seventy posts were linked up during this link-up!  How amazing is that!?!?!  Stacey and I are just beyond thrilled!  And to have to pick just 5 favorites...WOW!  Not an easy job!

Before I start in with the features, though,  just for one last time, I want to "sing" the recipes I shared over the last 12 days.  I hope you don't mind! :)

*sings happily* 
On the twelfth day of The Christmas {Goodies} link-up, Natural and Free gave to me:
12. Easy and fun Reindeer Cookies!
11. Some yummy (cooked) Eggnog!
10. Traditional Swedish Tea Rings!
9. Gooey Chocolate Chip Cookies!
8. Delicious Peppermint Mocha!
7. Cranberry Apple Salad!
6. Cinnamon Sugar Apple Pie!
5. Granny's Favorite Gingerbread!
4. Chocolate-Covered Pretzels!
3. Yummy Peppermint Fudge!
2. Cute and festive Pine Cones!
and
1. A recipe for Candied Pecans!

Now, with that out of the way...

It's time to announce the winners of the gift cards and my TOP 5 Favorites from the link-up and our second giveaway!

First, the winners of the gift cards (as chosen via random.org).  I guess I need to mention that we decided last minute, because you guys are so awesome and linked up so many amazing things, that we would offer 2 gift cards; one $12 gift card to Starbucks and one $10 gift card to Shutterfly.  Now, without further adieu.  DRUM ROLL, PLEASE...




Congratulations to Kreative Creations and Jo, My Gosh!   As our gift card winners, you will also be eligible for Ad Space on Glued To My Crafts and you can choose to guest post for me or for Glued To My Crafts.  Please send me an email if you're interested in those options, and we'll get you all set up. :)

Next up, my Top 5 Favorites (be sure to stop by Stacey's blog to see her Top 5 Favorites, too)!

Now, because this is a foodie blog, I decided to narrow my choices to the food link-ups (don't worry - Stacey will be featuring some crafts).  Even then, NOT an easy choice!  You all had some amazing recipes to share!  You have no idea how long it took me to decide!  In the end, though, decisions had to be made, so...I give to you, in no particular order, my Top 5 Favorites:





Vegetarian Mamma's Gluten-Free Chocolate Granola Cookies
 








Congratulations to all of you on being featured!  Feel free to grab a badge:

  


Because you were featured, you also get the option of Ad Space on Glued To My Crafts and a Guest Post feature either here or on Glued To My Crafts.  Please send me an email if you're interested in any of those and we'll get you all set up. :)
