Hey gang, today marks the debut of my week 2 vlog for the Summer Breakfast Swap with Uncle Sam cereal and Attune Foods.  You can check it out over on their website or by clicking the photo below:

Week 2 Vlog

I also want to apologize for not posting the coupon winner on Monday.  I had a friend visiting from out of town and it just completely slipped my mind.  Here’s what I was doing instead (click images to biggify):

Venice Beach
Hanging out at Venice Beach

Malibu
Driving through Malibu and taking in the gorgeous views

Mastadon Skeletons
Checking out the Page Museum at the La Brea Tar Pits (Mastadon skeletons)

Hollywood Sign
Visiting the Hollywood sign (yes, we were that close!

So, in an effort to make up for going out and having fun instead of picking a winner, I’m going to send two coupons to all three of you (Nancy, Jeanette, and Jess) who signed up for the “I’m With Mel” promotion!  Please just email me your mailing address and I’ll get them out in the mail to you.

I'm with Mel Button

If you haven’t already signed up for the “I’m With Mel” promotion, it’s not too late. Just visit the “I’m With Mel” page on the Attune Foods website for all the details and then post my button on your blog. You’ll get an instant PDF coupon for a free box of Uncle Sam cereal so you can join me for a one-week mini Summer Breakfast Swap of your own.

Until next time …

Join My Mini Summer Breakfast Swap! (giveaway)

As you all know, I’m taking part in the Summer Breakfast Swap with Uncle Sam cereal and Attune Foods for the months of July & August. Several of you have expressed what a cool idea you think the swap is (I do as well, obviously!) and some of you have asked me several questions about it. Well, here’s the good news, now U.S. residents can actually join me for a mini one-week version of your own Summer Breakfast Swap!  How cool is that?!!

I'm with Mel Button

In order to participate, just stop by the “I’m with Mel” page on the Attune Foods site.  Grab a copy of my button for your blog using the code provided and then click the coupon link to request your coupon for a FREE box of Uncle Sam cereal.  Once you fill out the form, you can print the PDF coupon and take it to your favorite store to pick up your free box of cereal.  You’ll then be all set to join me in the swap for a week.  Please be sure to leave me a comment letting me know you’re joining the “I’m with Mel” mini swap so I can stop by your blog and check in on how you’re doing.  Be sure to email your link to the email provided in your confirmation email, too!

To sweeten the deal a bit more, I’ll also be sending coupons to one lucky “I’m with Mel” participant for TWO additional boxes of Uncle Sam cereal, so that’s THREE free boxes in all.  I will personally be mailing the two extra coupons to the winner via the USPS in addition to the PDF coupon that Attune Foods will be providing to all “I’m with Mel” participants.  Everyone who leaves a comment with a link to their blog displaying the “I’m with Mel” button will be entered in the giveaway.  I’ll use random.org to select a winner.  The giveaway will end at 10pm PT on Sunday, July 10 and I’ll announce the winner on Monday, July 11.

Good luck and I hope lots of you will be joining me in this swap! )

Until next time …

Now Eat This! Diet (Giveaway)

As some of you may remember, I was thrilled last year to receive a signed copy of Rocco DiSpirito’s Now Eat This! cookbook. Since receiving it, I have made several of the recipes in it, a few of which have become regular staples in my menu. (Yeah, I’m talkin’ to you No Cream-No Cry Penne alla Vodka!)

In case you didn’t already know, Rocco has written another Now Eat This! book. This time, it’s his new Now Eat This! Diet.  Rocco graciously sent me a signed copy of this book as well, and I’ve been drooling over it all weekend looking at the recipes!  Ok, ok, there may or may not have been a little drooling over Rocco, too. )   Check out the cover and you’ll see why!

Now Eat This Diet cover

In his latest book, Rocco offers his plan for losing weight with little effort, no deprivation, while still eating six meals a day. The plan is filled with the comfort food dishes people crave, like mac & cheese, meatloaf, BBQ pork chops, and chocolate malted milk shakes. The secret: Rocco’s unique meal plans and his 75 recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, and snack time, all with zero bad carbs, zero bad fats, zero sugar, and maximum flavor. You just mix and match the color-coded recipes to reach the proper calorie count for the day. Now readers can eat more and weigh less-it’s never been so easy!

You may be asking yourself, does the plan work? Well, Rocco changed his life and his health without giving up the foods he loves or the flavor. He has lost more than 20 pounds, participated in dozens of triathlons, and – after an inspirational role as a guest chef on The Biggest Loser – changed his own diet and the caloric content of classic dishes on a larger scale which was the bedrock for this plan.

Head over to Amazon to get your copy, but don’t worry about getting it messy in the kitchen cooking up his great recipes because you can WIN a pristine hand signed copy direct from Rocco himself! Rocco has hooked me up with TWO (2) signed copies of Now Eat This! Diet to give away to my readers!!

Here’s how you can win your own signed copy of Now Eat This! Diet, signed by Rocco DiSpirito himself:

  • Mandatory entry:  Check out Rocco’s Now Eat This! Diet Recipe Facebook APP (http://bit.ly/NETDAPP) and leave a comment stating which recipe you would like to try and WHY?   For example, perhaps you’d love to try the “Chicken & Cheese Poppers” because it uses whole wheat flour instead of regular flour.
  • For an additional entry:  Follow Rocco on Twitter and tweet about the giveaway:  “I’m entering to win an autographed copy of Now Eat This! Diet from @RoccoDiSpirito and @MelGetsFit. http://wp.me/pCTaZ-IG #NETDRecipes”

Please note that you MUST leave a separate comment for each of the two methods of entry or the second entry will not count.  This contest will run through, 10pm PDT on Saturday, April 30, 2011.  At the end of the contest, I’ll pick the two winners using Random.org to receive the book and announce them on Sunday, May 1, 2011.  Winners will also be notified via email and will have 48 hours to contact me regarding their prize.  If they don’t, an alternate winner will be selected.

Whether you’re chosen as a lucky winner or not, Rocco shares exclusive healthy tips from his latest cookbook and recipes from his Twitter account.  Be sure to keep following him at @RoccoDiSpirito.  You can also find him here on Facebook.

Ready to enter and win? Comment away!

*Please note this contest is open to US residents only.

Until next time …

Disclosure:  I received a complimentary copy of this book as part of this giveaway.  I was not monetarily compensated for this post.  As always, the opinions expressed are my own.
