KIDStrong Giveaway!

It's another morning to myself, which is the perfect time to post a new giveaway! But first, a little background:

It has been hot. Darn hot. So hot you start sweating the second you walk outside and merely sit down. Despite the fact that as I type it is rainy and cooler, later this week, it will be HOT again. Did I mention it's been hot?

With all this heat, R has begun requesting sports' drinks whenever he plays T-ball or soccer, which is what "all the cool athletes drink." I think he looks pretty cool himself--


While I certainly want to keep R hydrated while he plays, I just didn't love the fact that downing a sports' drink also means downing artificial coloring and other gunk that just don't do his body well.

Enter:
I was so excited to learn about KIDStrong, a natural hydration drink and even more excited when R tried it and loved it even more than traditional drinks. It tastes great, appeals to kids and unlike other mainstream drinks, is 100% natural...how cool is that?

I love it so much I want to share the love with you. I am giving away 2 cases of KIDStrong to one lucky winner...a case each of orange and grape flavor.

To enter, leave me a comment with what sort of recipe you want to see in the near future on Sweet Peas and Pumpkins. You have until Thursday, July 15th at 8 PM EST to enter. I'll pick a random winner and post their name on Thursday evening.

In the meantime, stay cool-

I'm always up for entering a contest. As far as recipes -- I would love ideas/recipes for what to do (beyond the obvious) with summer squash and an abundance of cucumbers!

Oh - these sound perfect for my Fall Soccer kids!!! I would LOVE to see some recipes that don't require cooking! I know that is odd, but I actually hate to cook and would love some suggestions of healthy dishes that don't require any cooking at all! A challenge for you!!!

I'll enter! My kids love gatorade too, I'd love to try a non-neon option with them.
I'm with Nicole - something for these cucumbers and zucchini! :)

That stuff looks great! My girls love Gatorade...but I'm not such a fan of giving it to them.

As for recipes...that's a toughie since I think you've already covered every request I've asked for so far! Maybe a way to liven up our usual supsects for side veggies -- green beans, brocoli, and carrots? Though not all together, of course.

Good idea. It has been blazing hot here too. But not the humid kind. The dry, hit-you-in-the-face kind. It's like a hot blow dryer every time I walk out the door.

A recipe I want you to put together? I did a waffle mix, now you do a pancake mix.

Oh pick me!!! Those drinks sound great. I'd love to try them. As for a recipe, maybe something with chicken nuggets and noodles. A staple in our house. I usually serve them separate but maybe something mixed together, with some veggies thrown in, it's the sauce that might be tricky other than butter :)

I would love to have a few recipes using Quinoa. I'm just now starting to use it and am on the hunt for some good recipes that use it. Thanks for doing this giveaway. My daughter just started drinking Gatorade on occassion and I would love a healthier alternative....

Oh this looks great for summer!
I would love to see recipes that freeze well--I've got a handful of casseroles that I make but I'd love to have the freezer filled with more exciting stuff before baby #2 arrives.
Love your site by the way!!
