as much as i know you would all like to have the chance to win three french hens.. i am afraid that is not the case for giveaway #3.
(please recite the last line to the tune of “FIVE GOL-DEN RINGS!”.. i know it is #3 and not #5, but come on.. the syllables worked perfectly!)
you heard rudolph. up for grabs is a 4 ounce jar of natural madagascar bourbon vanilla bean paste!
you saw me talk about this stuff in my last post. i picked it up at ross and i just so happened to pick an extra jar up for one of you!
i just love those visible vanilla bean specks.
vanilla bean paste can be used in any recipe that calls for vanilla extract or a vanilla bean.
the exchange:
1 TB paste = 1 vanilla bean
1 TB paste = 1 TB vanilla extract
if you are as vanilla-obsessed as me, then you will want to win this one.
to enter:
- leave a comment telling me how you would use the vanilla bean paste.
pretty simple! i will take entries up until i post tomorrow and i will announce the winner in that post :)
hope you all had a great wednesday! i am a busy girl, so i will catch up with you later!!

I started a family tradition last year of baking christmas cookied the day before christmas eve and then having my family decorate them that night-so fun! I would definitely use the paste to make some delicious cookies!
French toast!
This would definately go in my morning oatmeal with a TON of cinnamon!
Ooh, this is an awesome giveaway!
I would use it to make french vanilla bean froyo :)
I would put it on anything relatively sweet, then lick the spoon and dance around my kithen since it looks Soooo Soooo gooood!
I love vanilla, so the possibilities are endless! Anything from my morning oatmeal, to cookies, to banana bread, to my smoothies. Yummmmy.
Ohhh yum! Three things come to mind: baking breads (banana-vanilla bread? yum!), as a fun kick in smoothies, and mixed into winter morning oats…what a great giveaway! Thanks Janetha!
I’m not sure how I’d use the vanilla paste – too many options coming to mind! I’m thinking DELICIOUS vanilla frosting to be used on cupcakes, cake, cookies, or to be eaten right out of the bowl?! YUM.
Oh man! I have ALWAYS been a vanilla girl.
I would bake vanilla bean sugar cookies.
And then I would make homemade vanilla bean icecream…
And then?
Put the icecream between two cookies…
Freeze.
A treat in the freezer anytime I want one!!!
I’d put it in my chocolate green monster !
I’m not sure how it tastes straight up but I’m willing to try it! And if that fails… baking galore!
How would I use this..i think the question is how wouldn’t I use it! I would make cookies…add some to coffee..and add some to waffles/pancakes!!
I really want to make some vanilla bean cupcakes! Mmmm!
I would definitely use it for my christmas cookies. Nothing taste better than vanilla!!
ooh good i made it in time to comment! i want to use this to make ice cream!!!!! or marshmallows!
Oh this stuff looks so good. Seeing little black vanilla bean specks in a dessert always tells me I’m about to eat something fantastic. I am making iced cardamom cookies for Christmas, and I think this paste would be a delicious addition to them! It would also be awesome in basic sugar cookies.
cookies! :)
Easy! In my oatmeal and protein shakes! Thanks for being so generous!
cookies, cookies, cookies…or tiny little cakes : )
I saw your post yesterday, headed to Ross after work and bought a bottle. I used it last night in sugar cookies for a meeting today, and everyone said that they were the bomb!! And, I put some in my smoothie this morning. FANTASTIC!! can’t wait to use more! THANKS for the tip!!
I love vanilla!!! I would definitely use it in my homemade granola for sure and pancakes!!! :-)
oooh man probably in the granola I’m making as gifts this weekend!!
I started a new tradition of decorating christmas cookies on christmas eve with my family last year- I would totally use this paste to make my cookies!
I would love to make vanilla bean scones to have with some tea. Its chilly outside! Or maybe vanilla hot cocoa…
I would make rich custardy vanilla ice cream & sandwich it between homemade cookies for a deluxe ice cream sandwiches for me & my boy!
I would make vanilla waffles that sandwich some banana-vanilla-eggs. Maybe throw some vanilla scented almond butter in the sandwich too :)
I would love to make vanilla macaroons….yummm. I love anything vanilla!!!
I would use it in various cookie recipes, as well as protein pancakes and waffles! Yummmy!
I would def make some choc chip cookies, and maybe some pumpkin waffles!
I would make a vanilla bean pound cake, and maybe some ice cream to go with it!
I’d made vanilla cupcakes!
i hope it’s not too late to enter! i’ve been wanting vanilla bean paste for awhile now… to make a pumpkin roll :) yum!
I would use it in my oatmeal and hot cocoa!
I would love to put it in my banana soft serve. YUM!
lots and lots of cookies! :)
Something this beautiful deserves to be made into creme brulee. You get to see each individual vanilla bean seeds.
Vanilla Protein Ice Cream….yummy!
uhhhhhm… in EVERYTHING? But if I have to get specific, I’ll say in some almond milk chia pudding and in the white bean vanilla cake I’ll be trying to make when I go home.
Ooohhh yummy! I would use it for oats and cookies! :) and a lot of other things im sure!
I’m in a recent pancake phase- so this would go into those and all the holiday baking I have coming up!
I’d lick it off that spoon……hehe!
I want! I want!!! I think first I would lick it on the spoon, and then maybe bake a pound cake with it, and then make something fabulous and spicy and Korean and savory. :-)
YUM! I would make tropical crepes with a vanilla bean and rum sauce to put on top
I want this – yum!! How about in oats!? Edible Perspective status.
I would actually be really curious to incorporate this into oatmeal!!!! But aside from that…sugar cookies MUST be made :)
