You can tell Fall is upon us, huh?
Choosing ONE winner was so hard, especially because they were all such different recipes.
Before we get to the winner, I’d like to present the PRIZE!
Now, I ate one of these yesterday but I didn’t want to reveal what it was until tonight because the BSI prize for this week is: My Aprican Almond Butter Bites….with cranberries!!!
So APRI-CRAN?
What an appropriate prize right?? I’m lovin’ the addition of cranberries! The recipe is seriously so easy and simple.



I know, I’m totally pulling a Ryan Seacrest right now…
After much deliberation, I have chosen Krista’s Almond Carrot Cake Bread Pudding as the winner!! I loved how original her recipe was and putting a twist on my favorite dessert in the whole world (carrot cake) may have helped
The new host of BSI is going to be Caitlin from Healthy Tipping Point. Be sure to check out her blog for the new secret ingredient!!
**Last chance to enter my Oikos Giveaway!! I will be choosing a winner at midnight EST tomorrow!

Congrats Krista! What a yum lookin’ recipe!
I am drooling over Lauren’s sammie though!
Nuts! I knew I should have went the Carrot Cake route. LoL.
Great choice. If her oatmeal is anything like the one I made over the weekend, you definitely made the right choice. I can’t explain how amazing baked Carrot Cake Oatmeal is! And with AB…..I didn’t think it could get better until now.
Yay Krista! Sweet prize her! Want to send just one Aprican ball out to italy for me… it shouldn’t cost much to ship, only kidding!
I’d pick Krista’s entry too!!! that bread looks amazing!!!
Great prize too!
Those all looked amazing!
Your “prize” looks sooo incredibly tasty!Thanks for sharing the recipe! You have a great blog
Love carrot cake! I’m glad Europe is slowly discovering it’s goodness… The first years everyone thought I was crazy if I mentioned it (I knew it from my US holidays).
These are some great recipes!

Yayyyyy for Krista! Her recipe seriously looks AMAZING. So glad she won
I’ve tried Siggi’s Skyr. It taste amazing. Less sweet than traditional yogurt, similar thickness as Greek. Lot of interesting flavors, but expensive. I did a review here:
