Can you see Spring? It’s just around the corner, and so is our next month with Get Real! If you are new to our challenge, please start by pledging your commitment to join us for this month and the rest of the year! Head over to our Facebook Fan Page and click on the Get Pledged app on the left hand side. If you pledged in January and February, you will be receiving an email with information on re-pledging (with minimal information to fill out) for March. We are taking this series seriously and are helping you keep track of where you have been and where you are going! Remember by taking the simple pledge to Get Real, you are entered to win great prizes from our sponsors and guest bloggers!
I’d like to take a moment to thank our guest blogger for February, Jo-Lynne Shane, for guiding us through the tricky world of whole grains. We would also like to thank our sponsor Bread Beckers for their plethora of information on whole grains, their importance in our everyday diets, and not to mention our giveaway prize for this month!
The winner of a grain mill or mixer courtesy of Bread Beckers is:
