When I was trying to decide who to contact about giveaways based on what I thought people would be most interested in winning, Cookin’ Crunk immediately sprung to mind. Not just because Bianca is a popular and well liked vegan blogger, but because I have been hearing rumblings about this book for what seems like years. If you’ve read her blog for awhile, you’ve seen posts referencing ‘my upcoming book’ for awhile, so I think it’s safe to say that Cookin’ Crunk has been a highly anticipated book!

If you don’t know, the most widely accepted definition of ‘crunk’ is ‘to get excited’ (it’s also used as a synonym for getting drunk and/or high, but please do not try to smoke this book). I haven’t had a chance to pick up a copy yet, but after following Vegan Crunk for over a year and seeing pictures of a lot of the dishes featured in the book, I am definitely excited to get my hands on some authentic vegan southern recipes! For an in-depth review, Joni has you covered. If you can’t wait to win a copy, you can pick it up at your local bookstore or on the publisher’s website!

Book Publishing Co. has offered to send one lucky reader a copy of Cookin’ Crunk! To enter, simply comment here, telling me what your favorite (vegan) southern dish is. This one is open to US and Canada, because I am so late putting it up I will draw a winner tomorrow, October 16th, at 6 pm EST.

And while you’re at it, why don’t you go on over to Vegan Crunk and check out Bianca’s sandwichy MoFo theme and wish her happy birthday?

Winners! I’ll email you after I feed my dogs.

Ashley: I would be drinking a nice hot cup of pumpkin spice while playing my resident evil 6 on xbox live with my boyfriend.
Megan: Knitting! Or lighting things on fire.
Kelly: Horror movie marathon! (Assuming the pumpkin spice makes it to the stores by Halloween!) It is, i’ve seen it!
Julia: I would totally warm it up and drink while watching the first snowfall.
Brandy: My wife and I love to make big Fall themed brunches and eat them outside with our rescue piggy, Peach and our guests. We would love to have some of this good looking sweet stuff to sip on with some pumpkin stuffed French toast!

…I swear, Erin and I didn’t plan to match the round-up and giveaway.

If dairy-free alternatives are taking over the world, So Delicious is leading the march. Their line is constantly expanding, and becoming available in regular grocery stores more and more. And they’re not just one-milk ponies, they offer soy, coconut, and almond products. From milks to yogurts to more ice cream and ice cream novelties than you can shake a stick at! There really is something for everyone in their product line. And unless you’ve tried all of their products, which has to be well over 100, you can’t tell me any different. So nyah.

One exciting new thing that they’ve added this year is…Pumpkin Spice Coconut Milk! I’ve already seen this in my health food store so keep your eyes peeled.

Also check out the recipe section of their site for some amazing vegan recipes.

So Delicious has offered to send a free product coupon to five lucky winners! To enter, simply comment here, telling me what fall activity you would enjoy while sipping some Pumpkin Spice beverage (you can totally jump in leaves while holding a travel mug). This contest is US only, a winner will be drawn tomorrow at 2 pm.

Winner!  Beth from Whiny Vegans, who said, “I’d love some vegan cheese with my whine!”

***************************************************************

This book is hot like gooey melted havarti, and the internet is abuzz talking about it (of course we are, vegans always talk about cheese).  Lucky for you ‘cuz The Book Publishing Company has offered to giveaway a free copy to one of you lucky, lucky people.

I’ve spent some quality one on one time with this book, and I think it’s an absolute keeper. So far I’ve made the fresh mozzarella twice, air dried cheddar, sharp cheddar, pub cheddar, yogurt cheese, air dried gouda, cashew yogurt and the quinoa rejuvelac a few times over.

If you can afford cashews (or have a cashew sugar daddy/momma/person), like cultured food, know where to find carageenan or agar powder, are a mad scientist in the kitchen and are a very, very patient person, then this book is for you!  Or, if you’d like to read more details about this book, or are looking for a good bedtime story, I wrote an unsolicited review last month on my own patch of the Internet.

A caveat…this giveaway is open to addresses in the US  only.  Sorry to our worldwide  cheese craving neighbors, but y’all know shipping is expensive and times, they’re tough.

For a chance to win, simply leave a cheesy comment on this post before Sunday, October 14th 9PM Pacific time, and I’ll pick a random comment on Sunday evening.  

ETA:  Please make sure you leave a way to get in contact with you.  I’m noticing a lot of the comments don’t link anywhere, and my Vegan GPS locator is in the shop!

Winners! Check your email! Everyone else, don’t forget that the coupon code ‘MOFO2012’ is still good until the 13th!

Brandon: I think the men’s tee with the green vegan heart is my favorite. Cute, simple, to the point. A bit like me 🙂

Zoe: The animals are all so sweet. My favourite has to be ‘flesh is for zombies’ though 🙂

Today’s giveaway is from Sick On Sin, a vegan-owned business from Canada that’s run by a husband and wife team. Michael draws all of their designs, while Jennifer handles the rest of the business. Their designs are super cute, and range from vegan and pro-animal related to zombies, ninjas, kale, and cupcakes (you know, the things that really matter in life). But don’t take my word for it, peep these pictures:

You can get t-shirts, buttons, bags, totes, stickers, even a shirt for your dog!

In addition to the giveaway, Sick On Sin has a discount code for us! Use the code MOFO2012 for 20% off! Please take note that the code expires on October 13th, because the store is going on hiatus so Michael and Jen can prepare for their new baby. Mazel tov!

The giveaway itself is a gift certificate to their store for $25, for two lucky people. To enter, simply head on over to their site and tell us which design of theirs is your favorite! This giveaway is worldwide, so anyone can enter. The winners will be chosen tomorrow at 2 pm.

Winners! Check your email.

Ashley: Today my son, who just turned 1 year on Oct. 3, cheered me up by taking his first steps (actually he took about 10 steps all by himself)! I love my little vegan man and his new frankenstein walk!
Krista: My families dog had to be put down recently and our friends cheered us up by giving us cards, flowers, hugs, prayers, etc to help us through the hard time. It was really special 🙂

I love my chocolate, this is no secret. And I like super fancy, fair trade, 70% cacao as much as the next girl, but sometimes you want a candy bar. Caramel, nougat, all that good stuff. That’s where Go Max Go comes in!

Not only does Go Max Go make awesome candy bars, but they are a really giving company. Early this year, my dog slid down our steps and dislocated his hip, which eventually required surgery. I mentioned it in the comments of one of their facebook posts and they asked me to email them, and when I did they asked for my address and sent me a huge package of candy bars and well wishes for my dog (who is now all better). If you’ve ever read the story behind their company name, their generosity isn’t that much of a surprise (but totally awesome).

I’m sure you’ve heard about their new bar that’s coming out next month, it’s a lot like a candy bar that rhymes with ‘sputter linger’ and it’s called Thumbs Up. They don’t have a final product photo yet, so we’ll have to make do with this prototype instagram photo:

Today Go Max Go is offering to send two lucky winners a full set of their current bars – 6 each! Simply comment here and tell us something someone recently did that cheered you up (or how you cheered someone up). US only, the winners will be drawn tomorrow at noon CST.

We have our winners!! Congrats to Nathalie who said  “I would love to try to Cocomels coconut milk caramels!” You are the winner of the $30 gift certificate.

And  Denice Lucas who said “I am DYING to try the vegan cheeses. I am a cheese freak and would love to find a vegan alternative.” You are the winner of the $15 gift certificate!

Thanks for playing everyone, and remember that the 10% off coupon code is good for the entire month of October!

Since I’ve relocated to the Midwest, Vegan Essentials has become my friendly neighborhood vegan grocer. Ok, maybe they are hundreds of miles away, but still, that’s the closest I’m going to get to my precious Dr. Cow Nut Cheeses and my fave whipped topping in the world (Healthy Top, if you gotta’ know.) After placing a few orders that were always prompt and well-packaged, I knew that whenever I had reason to thank someone, I’d do it with a Vegan Essentials gift certificate. When it comes time to show some love, forget hugs, I give ‘em marshmallows or whatever their heart desires. And this month, dear MoFoer’s, Vegan Essentials wants to show YOU some love!

In this giveaway, everyone’s a winner! For the entire month of October, Vegan Essentials is offering 10% of all items, with use of the coupon code “mofo.” So get your chocolate, your cheezes, and even your vegan twinkees on! I suppose I always look at a VE order as a chance to get cool treats that I can’t normally find. But they also have clothing, vitamins and books! Yep, they’re not called Vegan Essentials for nothing.

And the fun doesn’t end there. Vegan Essentials is also offering two gift certificates to two lucky winners today! The mama gift certificate for $30 and the baby gift certificate for $15.

To enter, just leave a comment below by 1pm EST tomorrow, Monday 10/8, telling us which Vegan Essentials product you are dying to try *or* talk about a recent order and how awesome it was! Be sure to include a valid email address so that we can contact you. The two winners will be randomly selected and announced around after the giveaway has ended. This offer is worldwide, open to all. Good luck!

*only exceptions are cat/dog food over 9 lbs. in weight and cold shippers for sending frozen items.

Congratulations to our winners, Susan and Penny! Check your emails, ladies. To those that missed out, don’t despair because we’ve got more Australian-friendly giveaways lined up this month. Just keep checking back! 

Vegans of the world, we’ve heard your cries (uttered through mouthfuls of vegan cake). While giveaways are great fun, they’re often less great for those who get left watching from an ocean away. Well, Australians, I’ve come on board from our nation’s capital, and I’m ready to tackle the serious issues. Forget the carbon tax- I’m running on a mandate of free baking supplies for my fellow local vegans.

Are you tired of having to interrogate strangers at bake sales about what you can eat? Or worse, are you sick of having to use your mouth (which could be better used munching on delicious vegan brownies) to tell people which items you’ve made are vegan, gluten free, nut free, or all of the above? Allergy Riders have got your back, in super cute style.

Their baking cups and food flags are perfect for vegan bakers and those with allergies. They’ve even got our xgfx brothers and sisters covered! No longer will you waste precious eating time poring over handwritten ingredient lists or discussing your food choices with others (not that we mind, it’s just that sometimes those discussions are best had on a full stomach).

Allergy Riders have kindly donated two prize packs, each containing two packs of baking cups and two packs of food flags of the winners’ choice. Two winners will be randomly selected at 11am AEST tomorrow. To enter, leave a comment here (with a valid email address) letting us know which sweet or savoury treat you always keep an eye out for at bake sales. Australians only, please!
