Hodgson Mill Baker’s Dream Giveaway
First off, I’d like to say congratulations to Valerie Taylor Mabrey who was selected as the winner for the Down By the River kid’s music giveaway!
Normally, I don’t do things like this — but since it’s Thanksgiving this week and I’m feeling a bit crazy anyway, I am taking advantage of an opportunity that I just couldn’t pass up. You see, when I’m given the option to give you, my awesome readers, something back — I jump at the chance. If you’ve been hanging around NOH since early on in 2011, you know I’ve put together some pretty huge giveaway packages. And while I sometimes also get some cool swag, I also always put my readers first. So if I have an option to score something myself versus you guys getting the goodies, I’m going to give it to you. Unless maybe it’s an iPad2…or a new Canon…or some killer Tamron lenses. 
At any rate, when I was asked if I wanted to host a giveaway so you could score some fabulous baking goodies, right before one of the biggest baking seasons of the year, all I could think was, “Yeah baby!”
I know not everyone is as blessed as we are to have a local mill nearby where you can still watch the tractors haul in their harvest every year. But sometimes, you don’t have to have a mill in your backyard to enjoy the benefits.
Hodgson Mill is one of the seemingly few family-owned, independent grain mills left in America. They are based in Illinois but ship their flours, pastas, bread mixes, baking mixes, breadings, gluten-free products and all sorts of other things based on grains all over the United States, Canada and even to APO’s.
The flagship products are made from high quality, stone ground grains with “just-in-time” processing — which means it’s all the freshest and best it can be. Just about anything that has grain as a basis, you will find it on the Hodgson Mill website. The array of products really is impressive, making it your one stop solution for all your grain needs.
The Hodgson family has a vision. It’s about healthy food you can feel good sharing with your family – including organic and low fat foods full of fiber and whole grain nutrition.
Wanna know something else really cool about Hodgson Mill? They are actually producing their own wind and solar to neutralize the amount of non-green energy they need to use in their production and shipping facility. I’m sure that Alva never would have imagined that was possible when he started the mill back in 1822!
If you’d like more ways to enter, hop over to the Hodgson Mill website and submit an entry to their Grain Holiday sweepstakes, where a prize package worth over $85 is up for grabs. There’s even a gluten-free option!
The Giveaway
Win a $25 Hodgson Mill® gift certificate to the Hodgson Mill online store which can be used on any of their fresh flours, mixes, couscous, gluten-free products or anything else on their website.

When I was a kid, my favorite holiday treat was the peanut butter balls mom and I would craft and boy did they take some time and effort! These days I love quick and easy and tasty things like cookie dough you can freeze and use later so make a double batch!!
Flourless chocolate cake is a winner.
My favorite holiday item to bake is German Stollen bread with candied fruit. It’s delicious toasted with some butter!
