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!!

You know I would make vanilla pancakes ;)
YUM! I love vanilla extract! It makes every recipe that much better!! With Christmas baking just around the corner..I can think of about 1000 cookies recipes that this will be fabulous in!
I would make vanilla bean ice cream–yes, even in winter, it’s my favorite!
I would put it in extra special smoothies on those mornings it’s too cold to get out of bed as an incentive.
I’d make cookies!
I think this would actually be really good in some chia pudding! The vanilla gives it oomph and vanilla bean paste would be out of this world. ;)
I’d use it in pancakes…. or oats! YUM!
oooh! I need this! I would make creme brulee. Over and over and over again.
There is nothing like vanilla. I add it to everything that I possibly can. I put it on my cereal, smoothies, and in baking. Especially with all the delicious treats I will be making this year for Christmas, it would be perfect.
Smoothies, pancakes (my fave), oatmeal, and sugar cookies (because truly, a well baked sugar cookie just cannot be beat). Also, I might would use a drop or two in my organic, homemade sugar scrub for my skin. Smelling like vanilla bean paste after coming out of the shower, FTW!
Oh wow I’ve never seen vanilla bean paste before!! Looks yummy! I’d probably add it to my oats in the morning lol
Definitely add it to my oats ….or just smell it as weird as it sounds….I LOVE Vanilla :) haha
One of my new years resolutions is to start making hot breakfast cereals with a variety of different grains rather than just oats and oat bran. I’m SURE this vanilla bean paste would make my experiment that much tastier!
I think this VB Paste would be perfect in some vanilla French toast for brunch in this FRIGID weather! That, and maybe a few christmas cookies.
vanilla bean whipped cream!
I forgot to comment on your last post but I definitely want to find that vanilla bean paste! I am a huge vanilla bean person as well and it would be so great to have this in the pantry.
I have a list of 30 things to bake/cook during my 30th year (next year) and one huge challenge is french macaroons. I would love to do a vanilla bean macaroon with a fruity filling. Oh, mouth is salivating just thinking of the possibilities!
I would use it in SO many things! I just made cheesecake last night and would have LOVED to use this!
OH! OH! OH! I just gotsta have it! I just GOTSTA!
I would use this in my protein cakes, morning oats/oatbran, shakes, yogurt EVERYTHING! I luuurve vanilla bean!
i would use it in cooookies! :)
Ice cream, pudding, or the best shake E.V.E.R.
oh boy. what wouldn’t i use it in? lets see, i WOULD use it in my oats, home made ice cream, cookies, cake, candies, pretty much any baked good… lots of delicious things!
I would put it in oats and in baking cinnamon swirl bread, mm mm yum!
As I told you in your previous post, this stuff CHANGES the taste of baked goods. I love making any kind of cookie with it- especially sugar or chocolate chip. Just heavenly ;)
Yummy! I would use this to make some french toast!
oh dear me, how would i NOT use it?! i’m going with homemade ice cream and then lots and lots of homemade vanilla bread :)
Oh my, so many ways to use that yummy stuff. I recently made a Bobby Flay recipe for roasted brussel sprouts with vanilla bean-butter. I am so making it again soon and that bean paste looks perfect!
Yum! I bet it would make fantastic dessert oats!
I want to make vanilla peanut butter!!!!!
Vanilla protein shake!
I’d use this in homemade ice cream, a rich creamy vanilla ice cream, in the middle of winter. How yummy? Or in a cup of coffee/milk (half of each) and a little drip drop of the vanilla. Maybe in oats? The possibilities are endless.
I’d use it to make vanilla bean cupcakes :)
Oops Janetha, I commented and my cousin was logged into wordpress. Last comment was from me, not brandisue2001: (Oh my, so many ways to use that yummy stuff. I recently made a Bobby Flay recipe for roasted brussel sprouts with vanilla bean-butter. I am so making it again soon and that bean paste looks perfect!)
Oats and cookie.
Man, good vanilla (and a sprinkle of salt) totally make a chocolate chip cookie. Yum.
I was drooling over the thought of this stuff when you mentioned it earlier ;-)
Hmmm, bet it would be a great addition to my oats or greek yogurt
I’d put it in oats and use it for my holiday baking :)
Oh wow, I don’t even know where to begin. I adore vanilla. I imagine it is stronger than extract…but I have so much baking I do this time of year, it would be so nice to up the flavor level with this. Now, I must say, I love Melissadishes’ idea b/c one of my favorite things is vanilla stevia blended into my plain greek yogurt. So many choices here.
Since I am fascinated with whoopie pies at the moment I think I would make them…maybe red velvet with cream cheese and vanilla bean butter cream?
i would put in my baked goods!
I would definitely use it in my breakfast cookie dough cereal!! :)
I would use it in cookies!!!
I would love to use the vanilla paste in my daily oatmeal! I would also use it when making pancakes and some holiday goodies. It so sounds delish! Vanilla bean is my absolute fav! :)
Oh Snap I’d love to win that! I’d def use in my oatmeal. duh! THanks!!
I would so give this to my mom as a gift! She loves everything vanilla…we went to Rita’s over the summer and she asked to taste the vanilla..I just looked at her…I mean really isn’t all vanilla things taste the same…she has been talking about getting some vanilla paste…Her favorite color is white, her favorite flavor is vanilla…lol
I don’t think I’ve ever even seen vanilla bean paste around here. YUM?! I would totally make the best batch of chocolate chip cookies ever. Possibly using your recipe cause I know you’ve got a winner on here ;)
Cookies, cakes whatever great recipes I could find to make as Christmas gifts!
Om nom nom, why am I drooling uncontrollably all over the keyboard of my laptop? Besides baking and the works, I would drizzle it over my oatmeal bowls. Oh gosh, yum!
In my protein smoothie! I can only imagine how decadent it would taste! yummm….
I would use it in all of my holiday baking- cookies!!!!
Muffins! Yum yum!
I heart vanilla extract! I’d use it in everything I baked!!!
