the winner, old fashioned style

Are you ready for enough pictures to make your nose bleed?
Are you just CRAZY to know who won the blog-name giveaway?
Is it you!?!



first, I tallied the responses and wrote down some of my favorite reasons.
which I will respond to in the near future.

some were seriously awesome.


here are all your comments, in all their glory.

so I just cut those bad boys up.

threw them in a sweet bowl of my mama's.

and asked for a lovely assistant, my sister caroline.

we may have just gotten back from spin class, and she still looks soooo cute.
oh to be in high school again:)

I got a little annoying and asked her to MAKE SURE SHE WAS MIXING WELL, OK?!

and then she pulled it! What does it say?!

oh, Michelle! Michelle Stratton! one of my favorite future Boston friends!
Let's go to coffee together soon!

To everyone who didn't win - I'm very sorry. I mean, really really sorry.
Thank you for your opinion and stay tuned to see what happens name-wise.
Many more giveaways will occur here. Shoot, maybe even next week.
Much love foodies, keep on eating.

giveaway! giveaway! we're giving something away!

Hi friends! Happy Tuesday!
This may be officially be the soonest a blog has ever done a giveaway.
However, we've got a dilemma - we need some help - and we feel like we should compensate (at least one of) you for service.

So you read yesterday, of course, about how and why I started Pizza to Quinoa a few months ago. And of course you read how it's changed and why I'm so glad that it has. BUT! Now we have a dilemma, because - ack... it all happened so fast.

Should we keep the name Pizza to Quinoa? Or change it?
Here's the other option.... Living Well Done.

How about I give you a case for both arguments?
Pizza to Quinoa: I like pizza to quinoa because it's personal and catchy (don't tell me if it's not), and it has food in the title - which, you know, is important. The cons - some people don't know how to spell quinoa and it's annoying to try to explain to a fellow foodie you meet in the grocery store. Plus, it's only about food, whereas this blog is about so much more.

Living Well Done: I love this title because Nick came up with it, and I think he's a genius. It's a fun play on words (don't tell me if it's not), and it encompasses the main message behind where we're headed. I don't like it because I think it takes a little bit out of the fun of the blog and I really like fun. And non-seriousness. Non-seriousness is key, right?

So, here's where you come in!
Vote on what you like and we'll pick a voter to win a $10 Starbucks card.
- 1 comment on this post with a vote gets you one entry.
- a second comment telling us you mentioned the blog on twitter or facebook gets you a second entry (don't vote twice though - that's confusing)
- a third comment telling us you became a follower gets you a whopping THIRD entry.
- plus... how often do people ask your opinion?
Maybe a lot if you're cool. I am, however, not - so I'd jump at the chance.

Giveaway ends Saturday at midnight!

Tell us what you think!
(and on a foodie note - if I won the gift card, I'd get a few grande americano's with light soy and one of these bad boys - even if it does break some of my food rules.)
