Mmmmmm... Snacks!

Fall snacks are wonderful, aren't they? 'Tis the season of pumpkin pie, apple cider, cider doughnuts, Halloween candy, bobbed-for apples, pumpkin bread, candy corn, and caramel apples! Learn how to make your own caramel apples with this simple recipe (thanks, eHow.com!).






If caramel apples are too healthy a snack for you (all that fruit, you know) or if they're too bad for your teeth, try this lovely recipe for caramel apple cupcakes from the Cupcake Bakeshop. They look just like the real thing, but with cake! How bad could that be?




Finally, congratulations are in order for our Snacker of the Month, Deb Lindahl. Deb received some double-chocolate cookies, home-baked by the very talented Deborah Gafka. The cookies were declared to be absolutely delicious!





You, too, could be Snacker of the Month. Each month, a name is randomly chosen from all comments written to I Luv Snacks. Every comment gets you another chance to win! If you'd like to comment, but don't know how, ask one of your friendly neighborhood ILS folks for help.

Snacker of the Month

I'm pleased to announce that Gail Finegan is the winner of the August snacks drawing! Gail has chosen to receive my homemade brownies, with frosting, for her Snack of the Month.

You, too, could receive homemade snacks, if your name is chosen in the Snack of the Month drawing. All you have to do to be eligible is to leave a comment on the ILuvSnacks blog! Ask us a question about the new ILS. Tell us what worries you about the transition to a new system. Tell us a joke, or share a snack recipe!

In the meantime, be extra nice to Gail, and maybe she'll give you a brownie.

free + snacks = true love

If there's one thing this bunch loves, it's the opportunity to share free snacks.

That's why it's my pleasure to share not one but two free snack occasions with you...

ILS Brainstorming Meeting
Give us your ideas, and we will dazzle you with a free continental breakfast. Everyone--even Gary--is invited! Drop by between 8:30 and 10 a.m. on July 10. Sign up here.

Free Panera Bread
Stop by Panera and pick up a free loaf of bread--on us (ok, ok, it's on Panera). The offer expires July 28, so click here to print your free coupon. [Sorry, Panera has rescinded the offer. They were probably overwhelmed with CMPLD staff members' response to the offer.]

Check back often for more ILS and free snack information.
