Thanks to everyone who left ideas in the comment section of the Van's Drawing Post with their breakfast ideas. I have to admit that I was surprised how many eat General Mills Cereal for Breakfast. I am guessing General Mills is happy they entered the GF market.
Drum Roll - Since I had FIVE coupons to give away, I decided to pick two winners. I used Random.org to generate the winning numbers:
The First Place winner of THREE coupons is Tiffany who said:
I love german pancakes. We make them with rice flour and top them with margarine and powdered sugar. Yum! I could REALLY use these coupons!
The Second Place winner of TWO coupons is Lindsey T who said:
Van's waffles are great! We usually go for that or a bowl of GF cereal with fruit.
Love your blog!
You know who you are but I do not, so email me at jamie@glutenfreemom.com with your mailing address so I can get the coupons in the mail.

StarKist Co. is voluntarily recalling two SeaSations varieties due to the presence of wheat, which was not declared as an allergen in the ingredient statement.
As a precautionary measure, due to mislabeling, StarKist Co. is initiating a voluntary recall of two SeaSations® frozen white whole fish fillet products – Thai with Basil, UPC # 80000 50007 and Teriyaki Orange and Ginger, UPC # 80000 50112. All 11.4 oz packages of these two varieties have been recalled, regardless of Best By Date or Manufacturing Code. SeaSations is a test market product, and is therefore in limited retail distribution in the following states: Alabama, California, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia.
All other varieties of SeaSations are correctly labeled and therefore are not affected by this voluntary recall. Additionally, no StarKist® tuna products are included in this recall.

- A Thumbs Up Thumbs Down Vote on Snikiddy
I was just watching the Today show and they had a segment on "healthy processed food" - I will not comment on the irony of that statement but they did mention a new snack food "All Natural Baked Fries by Snikiddy." In the TV segment, they mentioned they are GF and the bag is labeled GF. I have emailed the company to see how they define GF and what steps they take to ensure the fries truly are GF, but in the meantime I did sneak a taste - my personal opinion here, but I would not rush out to buy them! They were just "ugh" not good! Of course, the Younger Ones loved them! No word back from the company yet on how they define GF, so they are still off limits to the GFT.
