Trade-Up Tuesday: Pancakes & Maple Syrup!
Welcome to Trade-Up Tuesday, a weekly feature here on A Better Bag of Groceries where I tell you about Trade-Ups I’ve made since learning about NuVal and I give away free stuff. Today, I have a fantastic giveaway! In honor of Fat Tuesday and the Winter Olympics taking place in Vancouver, Canada, I am giving away pancakes and Canadian maple syrup! Oh, and the winner gets a NuVal T-shirt too! Good times!
Sorry, the skis are not included!
To learn more about why I traded up to Aunt Jemima’s Whole Wheat Blend Pancake mix, check out my Youtube video.
To Enter Today’s GiveAway:
Leave a comment and tell me something that you learned on the video, such as:
- The NuVal score for Aunt Jemima’s Whole Wheat Blend Pancake Mix
- The NuVal score for regular Aunt Jemima’s Pancake Mix
- The NuVal score for the frozen mini pancakes that I used to buy
- What I do now so that I have easily accessible pancakes during our busy weekday mornings
- What it says on the back of my T-shirt
- What my son’s drawing is on the front of my refrigerator (you get bonus points for that one!)
- My favorite brand of chocolate chips
Don’t cheat! No fair if you just look at the other commenters. However, if you are at work and can’t really watch a video right now, I’ll take a comment on your favorite Winter Olympic sport!
One winner will be randomly drawn from all the comments. The contest closes at 11:59 EST on February 16th. Be sure to check back here tomorrow to see if you’ve won!

The Higher the NuVal Score the Better the Nutrition-nice logo on the back:) We don’t make pancakes that often, sometimes on weekends. We usually do them from scratch though. I have a really good blueberry buckwheat recipe that is good:

Give them a try:) I don’t know the score, but they are tasty!

Aunt Jemima’s Whole Wheat Pancakes get a NuVal score of 24….so much better than the regular that only score a 4! Great Video, now I’m craving pancakes!

I am at work as well. My favorite winter Olympic sport is pairs figure skating. I love it!!

LOVE the camera man interjecting haha!
I learned that you just bought the heart mold, and that the WW mix has a NuVal score of 24 vs. 4 for the regular mix. INSANE!!!! You used to be the frozen mini pancakes, a 6!

I have never tried Ghirardelli’s bittersweet chocolate chips but I’m sure they are delicious in the pancakes, will have to pick some up. Love the heart mold!

I love that spatuala and pancake mold – so cute! here’s what i learned:
the whole wheat mix scores a 24, while the regular mix only scores and 4, and the frozen pancakes you used to buy score a 6! your favorite brand of chocolate chips are ghiradelli dark chocolate (mine too!), and to save time, you cook up a bunch of pancakes and pop them in the freezer, and the saying on the back of your shirt says “the higher the nuval score the better the nutrition!
i couldn’t quite tell what the red drawing on the fridge was… hahahaha i did see a picture of a little boy i think though
thanks for the great giveaway!
happy fat tuesday!

I love skiing. But gymnastics is my favorite of all favorites.
on Feb 16th, 2010 at 11:05 am
I love the heart mold…..where did you get it? I usually make the round pancakes, then put the cookie cutters on them after they are cooked to punch out the mold, but I like your method better. What I learned is that you make your pancakes and freeze them for later in the week, I never thought of doing that, but it is a time saver! Keep up the good work!

The drawing on the fridge looks like a cute bunny to me! And your shirt says The Higher the NuVal Score the Better the Nutrition on the back.
on Feb 16th, 2010 at 11:36 am
The back of you shirt says: Higher the Nuval Score the Better the Nutrition. Great to now the Aunt Jemmina’s Whole Wheat scores a 24!
on Feb 16th, 2010 at 11:43 am
I think I bought the heart mold at Michael’s craft store now that I think about it!!

Your favorite brand of chocolate chips is Ghiradelli Bittersweet Chocolate Chips….and I have to agree, Ghiradelli makes amazing Chocolate!
on Feb 16th, 2010 at 11:44 am
Wow, the Nuval score for the frozen mini pancakes are a 6. I’m pretty suprised!
on Feb 16th, 2010 at 11:49 am
I am indeed at work
but will watch the video when I get home! My favorite Olympic sport is short track! I adore Apolo and J.R. Celski!

“The higher the nuval score, the better the nutrition”(in a deep voice, haha)

Ghiradelli is my favorite brand of chocolate too! They make really good hot chocolate as well. I didn’t cheat, but just thought I’d add that my favorite Winter Olympic sport is snowboarding, so glad that the finally added it in!
on Feb 16th, 2010 at 1:11 pm
Love the Ghiradelli chocolate chips!! Just wanted to let you know that my kids and I checked out the NuVal scores at the Windsor, VT PriceChopper. The kids had fun seeing what scored the best. Two thumbs up to the camera man – he is a good sport.
Oh and we love snowboarding/skiing in the winter olympics.
on Feb 16th, 2010 at 1:18 pm
They score a 24, way better than the regular mix that only gets a 4. I’d love to win this yummy little combo, but regardless, I’m definitely having pancakes for breakfast tomorrow!
on Feb 16th, 2010 at 2:20 pm
The back of your shirt says “The higher the nuval score, the better the nutrition”! Love it!

Watched the video . . . it was awesome. You could have your own cooking show! My favorite winter sport, although it is not an Olympic sport, is snuggling with my husband. If it were an Olympic sport, he would win the gold because he has a heart of gold. Okay, you all can stop puking now. Oops — I shouldn’t have said that in case anyone is reading this during lunchtime. A thousand apologies!
