I’m interested in When It’s Hot, Get Hotter because we have just started using more chiles in our cooking. cdziuba@aol.com
July 25th, 2008 at 10:01 am
I like the Homemade Greek-Style Veggie Burgers podcast. I’m trying to eat more veggie burgers (to be healthier), but don’t like the usual ones that taste like cardboard. These look delicious!
July 25th, 2008 at 10:16 am
The Podcast “Whole Planet Foundation Helping Through Microfinance” really caught my eye… well more so my heart. It’s so sad to see other countries like that when to most people a dollar is NOTHING, to those countries it’s everything! We don’t have much money to spare, but I donated $5 through http://www.wholeplanetfoundation.org/.

Ahh Couscous! My daughter loves to say the word, but she won’t actually eat much when I make it. Perhaps I will pick up some new tips from this podcast!
July 25th, 2008 at 12:39 pm
Couscous…I love this stuff! And I’d be interested in the one on spicy peppers and eating hot stuff in the summer.

The “Be good to your whole body” podcast really appeals to me - Whole Foods has such a huge personal care section its a bit overwhelming so I think that podcast would be a great place to start. Thanks for the giveaway!
July 25th, 2008 at 12:58 pm
The Microfinance podcast really pulls at me. I think buying organic, living green, and microfinance are all about the same thing - keeping the world and its people healthy.
July 25th, 2008 at 1:00 pm
The “Fresh Summer Corn” topic is perfectly timed as my family was just having a discussion a day or so ago that started with how to tell if an ear is going to be tasty and led to the “right” way to eat off the cob! Thanks!

When It’s Hot, Get Hotter & Secret Ingredient
July 25th, 2008 at 1:20 pm
The greek-style veggie burgers - I have to agree with those above me - girlfriend of mine is greek and columbian family background and has mentioned some tasty sounding things to me recently - so naturally I’m attracted to this.
July 25th, 2008 at 1:29 pm
i love whole foods
July 25th, 2008 at 1:35 pm
The first one that caught my eye was “Couscous — A “Go-To” Staple” Why? Last night we tried couscous for the first time and I stared as my two year old shoveled it in her mouth. The stuff was flying everywhere, she was going at it so ferociously. When i asked her if she wanted more couscous, she looked at me like I had purple polk-a-dots all over my face and said “This is rice. I want more rice.” No argument. LOL
Thanks for the opportunity! We love that place(though they look at us strange when we clean out the pinapple sample stand)!

The first post Couscous — A “Go-To” Staple caught my eye! My kids love it (it is so cute to hear them beg for it) and I am always looking for new ways to cook it. My husband, a rice fiend, admited the other night that he likes Couscous better!! YAY!

July 25th, 2008 at 3:23 pm
I really love peppers and am growing all different kinds in my garden, so I have to say I really like the podcast, When It’s Hot, Get Hotter. I am a vegetarian, and I also like the Homemade Greek Style Veggie Burger podcast. I can’t wait to try all these new recipes. I love Whole Foods and what they represent.
July 25th, 2008 at 3:39 pm
OK, I’ll admit it… I’m being purely selfish here… most times I enter giveaways to get something for someone else… but this one would be ALL MINE!!! With 5 children, I scrimp and save and coupon shop trying to get the most bang for my buck, so needless to say, shopping at Whole Foods just doesn’t happen. This would be MY TREAT, and I would SO buy some SERIOUS CHOCOLATE with it!!!!!
July 25th, 2008 at 3:41 pm
Sorry, got so excited about the chocolate thing I forgot about visiting the site!!! Microfinancing is what got my attention.. I’d love to help a retailer who uses some of thier profit to help others in need!!!! Excellent!!!!

Natural Salon Part 2: Cuts and Styling — great series
July 25th, 2008 at 4:12 pm
The Whole Foods podcast that first caught my eye was Couscous - A “Go-To” Staple because several days before the podcast I entered my favorite “Quick, Cheap, Delicious, and Healthy Couscous” recipe in your Gimme Recipes! Contest! I am also glad to see others posting here about how they are discovering and using couscous. Another fave podcast would be the When It’s Hot, Get Hotter podcast about chile peppers. There’s always something new to learn - isn’t it wonderful!
July 25th, 2008 at 4:13 pm
I have a very warm place in my heart filled with memories of New Orleans, so I am drawn to the Crawfish Cakes with Orange-Chili Vinaigrette. It sounds fantastic!
July 25th, 2008 at 4:43 pm
I love couscous
July 25th, 2008 at 4:49 pm
I like the cheddar cheese drop biscuits or frozen treats. My son would love both, so we are anxious to watch.

Slow Food and Carlo Petrini Podcast was really great. Especially with all the food scares.

July 25th, 2008 at 5:18 pm
I like the Fresh Summer Corn podcast. I LOVE corn on the cob, but never really knew how to choose a good ear. I’d just be peeling the outer leaves off like the other shoppers, never really knowing exactly what I was looking for. We grill it with garlic and cilantro…YUM!
July 25th, 2008 at 5:27 pm
I love the slow foods podcast. I am a big fan of the slow foods movement. Great giveaway, thanks!

The food supply podcast by Carlo Petrini was interesting. It’s time we stop taking where it comes from for granted. Our food needs to be good, clean, & fair! You can listen to it at:

I was interested in the podcast about Microfinancing. I’m involved with a different organization that does similar work. This Foundation looks like such a great place to donate money, even if you only have a small amount to give.
July 25th, 2008 at 5:35 pm
The Greek Style Veggie Burgers would be tasty and unique. The site is wonderful. Thanks for this great giveaway.

July 25th, 2008 at 7:28 pm
Couscous A Go-To Staple. I have to say my reason for choosing this one is because I have no clue what to do with couscous. I’ve ordered it in restaurants, but personally have no clue what to do with it at home
Greek Style Veggie Burgers might be interesting too. I mean what can one do with a fake meat pattie?

Couscous — A “Go-To” Staple caught my eye because I really like Couscous but I do not know much about it or how to cook it.
I usually make it plain and then into a salad but I want to learn more about it.
July 25th, 2008 at 8:08 pm
The Couscous interests me because i love it and the helath benefits, but do not like the calories
July 25th, 2008 at 8:18 pm
Well actually the top item caught my eye, the “Slow Food and Carlo Petrini Podcast,” because I have a friend who worked for Slow Food USA and so I got to know a lot about the movement. I also am looking forward to listening to the podcast on fresh summer corn. It’s one of the best things about summer!
July 25th, 2008 at 8:50 pm

Fresh Summer Corn, it tells about the different varieties and how to pick the good ones!
July 25th, 2008 at 9:56 pm
The podcast about fresh corn sounds interesting, and also the slow food one.
July 25th, 2008 at 9:57 pm
I actually just started researching all natural hair care products and came across John Masters Organics. I’d love to try them out. The Natural Salon podcasts look really interesting.
I am not the best cook but I try and the Seared Halibut with Cherry Tomatoes, Fennel, Cucumber and Mint looks incredibly yummy!

I love Whole Foods. I feel “holy” shopping there. The Slow Food Nation and Carlo Petrina podcast is enlightening; however, video with the podcast would make it more interesting. The Aquaculture Standards podcast regarding issues surrounding farmed fish is another worthwhile podcast on the Whole Foods site.
July 25th, 2008 at 10:48 pm
My daughter is now a dedicated vegetarian - she’d go bananas with a Whole Foods GC.

Hi, The “Natural Salon Part 2: Cuts and Styling” sounds great! The John Master’s Organic Natural Haircare Salon is a place I would like to visit. Thanks, Cindi

right now it is about how to s t r e t c h that dollar unitl it is a dddddooooollllllllllllaaaaaarrr. so the most interesting blog was all related to :
Whole Deal & Price Comparisons
Whole foods hs coupons, the manufactor’s sites have coupons, the 365 brand is great and less expensive. There are sales AND free samples. yum - yum as I try to make it all stretch. AND .10 back if you bring back the bag. All good.
July 26th, 2008 at 8:47 am
I liked “When its hot, get hotter” and “Homemade Greek Style Veggie Burgers” Their site is very informative.
July 26th, 2008 at 8:54 am
I liked the podcast on Frozen Treats. It gave me ideas for what we are working on this summer; staying cool and healthy.

I think Slow Food Nation sounds excellent - we’re all better off if we take more time to select, prepare and enjoy our food. Fresh Summer Corn sounds like fun too.
July 26th, 2008 at 11:00 am
Wow, they have some great stuff! I downloaded 2, Natural First Aid, and the interview with Slow Foods.
July 26th, 2008 at 12:22 pm
How nice, I’d like this
July 26th, 2008 at 12:53 pm
I like the Be good to your whole body podcast. We are all so busy that we don’t always take care of ourselves. Whole Foods really knows what it is doing and how to help us live healthier lives. I travel quite a ways to get to a Whole Foods store - it’s worth it.
July 26th, 2008 at 1:06 pm
I like the Be good to your whole body podcast. Whole Foods is a great store.
July 26th, 2008 at 2:08 pm
The Couscous one, I’ve been wanting to incorporate couscous into my diet but want to learn more about it and how to prepare it.
July 26th, 2008 at 2:27 pm
food is good
July 26th, 2008 at 2:27 pm
Of course, I enjoyed the couscous one! We use it almost every week for my husband’s lunch. He doesn’t have access to a fridge or microwave at work, so since it tastes great room temperature, it’s perfect. We mix all tons of stuff into ours and are creating new recipes with it. There’s a few of them posted on my blog.

I liked the couscous one. I finally got my hubby to try it at a restaurant, so now I need to learn to make it at home.
July 26th, 2008 at 9:04 pm
Seems like we all like couscous but isn’t it just a great food? Sweet, savory, however you want it. So, that one really appeals to me.
July 27th, 2008 at 12:11 am
I liked the Secret Ingredient most
July 27th, 2008 at 12:11 am
The Slow Food Nation podcast really grabbed my attention. There are a lot of problems in our current food supply, and I like keeping up-to-date on these issues and how to get things back to the way they were.
July 27th, 2008 at 2:29 am
I like the Homemade Greek-Style Veggie Burgers, Couscous — A “Go-To” Staple, and Slow Food and Carlo Petrini Podcast. I’ve been trying to be more conscious of ’slow food’ and shopping local markets and farmers in our area, but it can be hard. I would like to learn more about the whole process and where to best focus my efforts as the consumer. As for the other two, I love all things couscous and veggie-burger! Yum.
July 27th, 2008 at 4:49 am
The first of the blog entries that immediately caught my eye was the Couscous. I never tried couscous before, but after viewing the picture and listening to the audiofile, I think that is something I have to try very soon especially since it’s simple to prepare. The second entry I liked was the recipe for Halibut. When it comes to cooking fish, I’m not very creative. The halibut with cherry tomatoes, fennel, cucumber and mint doesn’t seem too difficult to prepare so I got a copy of the recipe and will attempt my hand at it as well.
Thinking about both dishes really has my stomach aching for something good to eat. In the future, I won’t make the mistake of visiting the Whole Foods blog while hungry.
July 27th, 2008 at 6:11 am
I like the couscous podcast. I had not heard about it before and will definitely be giving it a try. I also liked When It’s Hot, Get Hotter since we use a lot of peppers in our dishes.
July 27th, 2008 at 6:52 am
Fruit runs!
July 27th, 2008 at 7:57 am
Yum; I sought out and watched the Chicago Style Hot Dogs and Root Beer floats video because it looked fun; and it was!
The thing is, what I really discovered was that the entire site looks yummy, informative AND fun! I can’t wait to try some of these recipes!
I’d love to win the gift card as an introductory to Whole Foods shopping experience.

Demystifying Aromatherapy - I love aromatherapy and use it faithfully - not only for the smell and relaxation but also as body care. I’ve been able to go off many of the pain meds I am on for RA because of using essential oil blend salves. Love Whole Foods and buy many of my oils there.
July 27th, 2008 at 4:10 pm
Oooh, the Fresh Summer Corn story. A place we used to camp each year was down the road from a small farm, and we would always be there in time for the fresh corn. Mom would put the water on, and send us kids down the road to buy corn. The lady would walk out into the field and pick it right then and there. I was never a kid that cared that much about food, or had that sophisticated of a palate, but I can clearly remember just how good that corn was.

I liked the podcast “Eggs in Purgatory”. Not only do they talk about Whole Foods cage-free eggs from chickens that eat healthy, organic food, but the recipe sounds great as well.

i am interested in the slow food podcast and the one on aquaculture (ie modern over-fishing) cheers, vera
July 28th, 2008 at 10:25 am
Aquaculture Standards podcast caught my attention because farmed fish has gotten a bad rap because standards do not garantee healthy fish that is good to eat. I also wonder if wild fish are healthy because of pollutants getting into the water supply. This topic hits our region because of the salmon fishing and farming in the area.
July 28th, 2008 at 10:32 am
i’d like to take a listen to “Crawfish Cakes with Orange-Chili Vinaigrette” that sounds like a good recipe!
