I finally made it to downtown Boise to visit my city’s first Whole Foods store!  I’ve been dreaming of a Whole Foods since I moved here about 7 years ago.  (Now if we can only get our Nordstroms, Container Store, and Ikea.  I’ll continue my letter-writing campaigns until they all get so annoyed with me, they just build me what I ask for, sheesh!)

I seriously love Whole Foods; it’s one of my favorite places to go for lunch because it’s like 14 restaurants all in one place and I can always stumble upon unique foodie-finds and fun gifts.  The problem is that I drain my wallet too quickly because there’s too much fun stuff there!

We want one of you to go on a guilt-free shopping spree, just for YOU!  Buy whatever the heck you want, because hey, it’s a free $100.

We’ll give it to you in the form of an e-gift card this Friday, so you’ll even have time to run over there and buy some fun stuff for yourself for Mother’s Day.  Or send someone else to the store with a grocery list and the recipes you want them to make for you 😉  If it were me, I’d head straight to the bakery.

To enter, just leave a comment on this post!  Tell us what yummy thing you’d like someone to make for you on Mother’s Day!  We’ll announce a winner THIS Friday, so hurry and enter!  I also just noticed that all Whole Foods Stores are having “Mom-o-Rama” events this Thursday May 9th, from 10-1.  If you have a Whole Foods near by, check it out!

  4. Yumm!! I hope somebody makes me crepes with nutella and cream cheese…or your peanut butter cheesecakes from the new cookbook. They’re the BEST!

  33. I don’t know that i want anything really special. I just don’t want to have to do the dishes or have my newborn crying at me and my other two playing tag and yelling at each other around my legs while I try and cook.

  42. I’d love a delicious homemade gluten free dessert. I’m still struggling to find good ones since my diagnosed gluten allergy last year. Being a allergic to chocolate as well reduces your options significantly.

    Reply

  47. I am taking a Vegan challenge this month so I’d love for my husband to make me a delicious quinoa salad with some roasted veggies for Mother’s day! The gift card would definitely help and be a huge blessing. Happy Mother’s Day to both of you!

  58. I’d love cheesecake. Or anything for dinner. And would love even more if the kitchen was cleaned up after dinner without my help. 🙂

  68. Have been shopping at Whole Foods for years. Often when looking for that extra special ingredient you can’t find anywhere else. I have a weakness for the scones there, and anything they have smoked or grilled. Always something new to try. I am happy to browse the aisles for hours 🙂

  76. Totally a cheesecake, but a New York style cheesecake~ Those are so delicious, especially after you’ve just left a Broadway Show and can eat it at 2 in the morning! Yum!

    Reply

  78. My husband makes fabulous fajitas…that’s what I’m asking for for Mother’s Day dinner. And I LOVE Whole Foods. Fingers crossed!

    Reply

  102. I want fancy omlets for breakfast, but that means that I’ll have to cook. If I want someone to make something for me, it’ll have to be store-bought ice cream. haha. 🙂 Thanks for the awesome giveaway. I LOVE Whole Foods! They have sooo many Gluten-free items!

    Reply

  107. I would love for someone to make me something with deep, rich, dark chocolate & raspberries on Mother’s Day!!! But I’ll settle for just about anything that I don’t have to cook. 😉 Well, almost anything…

    Reply

  142. I’m not a mom yet, but if I could make something for my mom this weekend, it would be a chai latte from scratch. She loves chai and I love letting all of the spices steep because it always makes my apartment smell so lovely. But since I live on the opposite side of the country from my mom, I’ll be drinking a chai in her honor.

    Reply

  143. Isn’t it just wonderful that Boise has a Whole Foods now! I just go there to walk around and be surrounded by yumminess. I’d have to say some yummy fajitas 🙂

    Reply

  158. I honestly don’t care what someone makes me as long as I can hide somewhere alone for 15 minutes to eat in peace! LOL Peace and quiet is hard to come by with little kids in the house 🙂

    hmmmmm maybe an arugula salad with strawberries, goat cheese, toasted almonds and garlic bread. Add to that a nice glass of red wine, a book and some quiet time and it would be my heaven!

    Reply

  166. I would like my family to make me breakfast (in bed) for Mother’s Day… only if they do dishes as well! Hahaha. A fresh bouquet of flowers from Whole Foods would work too!

    Reply

  167. Breakfast in bed on Mother’s Day would be great! I wouldn’t even care what it is. I love Whole Foods and have missed being close to one while here in Upstate NY. The drive is still worth it though.

    Reply

  169. Just one thing? I think I would stock up on non-perishable ingredients/food that are GF and Dairy Free as we just started taking that out of our diet and I’m trying really hard! 🙂

    Reply

  178. I’m into made-from-scratch cakes and cupcakes right now. Any homemade baked good, sounds like a wonderful mother’s day treat!

    Thanks for a fun give a away!

    Happy Mother’s Day to the Best Bite Gals!

  182. This is SO awesome! I hate to spend money on myself, so this would be perfect for ME on Mother’s Day! Thank you for the chance!

    Reply

  189. SO MANY THINGS – french toast and hot chocolate and paninis and cinnamon rolls and chocolate creme brulee and fried eggs with homemade toast and chicken fajitas for dinner. I’ll also be delighted with the bowl of cinnamon toast crunch I might ACTUALLY get.

    Reply

  190. I would love someone to make me yummy homemade Cafe Rio! Yum, Yum!! Thanks for the chance to win. I’ve never been to the Whole Foods Market even though I’ve driven past it many times.

    Reply

  192. Would love to have my kids piled in bed, drinking a fancy coffee eating banana pancakes. They are building a Whole Foods 5 minutes from our house!

    Reply

  197. If I had my pick of everything at Whole Foods, I’d decimate the cheese case, get a few loaves of amazing bread and a couple bottles of wine. Also, a goose. 🙂

    Reply

  198. I wish someone would make me a fat free–calorie free cheesecake…Oh wait that doesn’t exist! Dang. Then, I wish someone would make me a peanut butter oreo cheesecake.

    Reply

  207. Just to not have to cook would be nice, but then I’d get a quesadilla with kraft singles so I’ll probably opt for the usual which is my husband and kids taking care of the clean up 🙂

    Reply

  229. An assortment of desserts! Spring is birthday season in our family, with about a birthday a week from the end of March until the beginning of June. I love baking everyone’s cakes, but I want someone else to prepare the treats!

    Reply

  231. I am looking forward to anything that doesn’t require me to cook or clean! Hubby is working all day Mother’s Day (9-9), so it will probably be Thai take out for me!! Unless someone wants to come over and grill for me – I’d love that too!!

    Reply

  237. I’d love to win! Your Greek CousCous salad is a Mother’s Day tradition at our house, so I’d love someone to make it for me!

    Reply

  242. Breakfast. I don’t care what we have, but I would love it if my 4-yr old and 1-yr old would forgo the usual screaming contest at the breakfast table just this once! 🙂

    Reply

  250. I’d love a four-course meal with TONS of veggies and herbs! I would be equally content to do the cooking if someone else will clean when we’re done. Great giveaway!

  264. I don’t care what we eat, I want one day that I don’t have to plan and carry out the meals! As long as it is yummy and I don’t have to think about it I will be happy.

    Reply

  267. I’d love a nice cookout with grilled beef tenderloin, grilled asparagus and potato salad! Maybe strawberry shortcake for dessert. Thanks for the chance to win!

    Reply

  273. White chocolate covered pineapple – addictingly good, and easy to make, after you go through all the work of cutting slices of fresh pineapple. Thanks for the giveaway! LOVE Whole Foods!

    Reply

  277. I would probably buy something from the Bakery. That picture looks amazing. I’m pregnant so i would buy a little something for myself too. lol.

    Reply

  278. I’ve requested that my husband make his famous Boston Butt!! YUM…it is sooo good! 🙂 Our town is getting a Whole Foods soon so this would definitely come in handy!

    Reply

  284. This is actually quite a struggle for me this year. I am pregnant and nothing sounds good. I usually force myself to eat. I am one of the biggest chocolate fans in the world and anything chocolate makes me want to hurl at this point. It is sad and I hope it doesn’t last much longer.

    Reply

  288. Scallop, mango and avocado salad. Yum. Note of caution: Last Mother’s Day my husband broke our garlic press trying to use it to juice a lime. 🙂

    Reply

  294. I’ll take whatever they’ll make me…but, I’m wishing for a grilled cheese panini and creamy soup! And dessert of course!

    Reply

  319. If it’s not made by me and it’s not on my kids’ favorite list, it’s probably something I’d love. A mom can only handle so many chicken nuggets and hot dogs. 😉

    Reply

  321. I’m a first time mother-to-be (due in less than 3 weeks!) and would love something chocolate-y like brownies or a mud cake. Since my husband doesn’t bake I would be happy to settle for some Ben & Jerrys though. 🙂 Oh…and I heart Whole Foods, it’s my favorite grocery store by far.

    Reply

  322. As long as I don’t have to cook it or clean up after it and its not my husbands “famous” cold noodle salad, I’m happy with whatever!

    Reply

  323. I don’t care what someone makes me as long as someone else is making it and not me! Can I just sit on the couch and read a book? Actually, we are going bike riding in a national park this weekend for Mother’s Day. Now THAT’s a great Mother’s Day!

    Reply

  331. well seeing as how i am not a mom yet, i can’t really go demanding someone make me dinner 🙂 but maybe the hubs will start training 😉

    Reply

  340. I’m not a Momma, but for the last several years, my gift to my own mama has been a home cooked feast. This year, I’m doing all vegan: nut and seed bread with vegan feta, carrot chickpea soup, a simple salad and a raw vegan dark chocolate orange tart. This gift card would sure help me with ingredients!

    Reply

  342. I’m really in the mood for chicken salad sandwiches on croissants. I’m feeling very ‘ladies who brunch’ about Mothers Day this year and I want light and tasty foods.

    Reply

  355. I’m thinking some kind of turtle cheesecake would be perfect for Mother’s day, but it isn’t going to happen unless I make it!

    Reply

  357. Pretty much anything from OBB! But I have to say, probably the best dessert EVER is the chocolate pb cheesecake tarts y’all made at the cooking demo at Orson Gygi. They are my go to dessert when I want to cheer someone up…or just really impress them. Never fails. Plus, I get to sneak a few too (which is a HUGE added bonus).

    Reply

  358. I would love someone to make me the black bean and mango quesadillas. I love Mexican food and I especially love mangoes. Thanks for all that you do with this blog because you have broadened my cooking horizons.

    Reply

  364. I love Whole Foods. I am making chicken salad sandwiches, fruit and cookies for all our RS sisters Mother’s Day so I guess that counts as cooking for me 🙂

    Reply

  369. I want my husband to make reservations at a yummy place to have Mother’s Day brunch this Mother’s Day! We will not have a kitchen to cook in that day.

    Reply

  371. I would love to have a yummy cheese and cracker plate. The different cheese’s at Whole Foods are delicious! I am so excited to finally have one in Boise!

    Reply

  373. What a cool giveaway! I have been meaning to go check it out too, I still haven’t been there yet. I would love to win and give me an excuse to check the place out!
    Thanks for the awesome giveaways!!! I’m hoping someone makes me something with chocolate!!! 🙂

  387. My favorite Mother’s Day treat is Rhubarb Cobbler with a big scoop of ice cream. It’s my Mother-in-law’s recipe and I love to eat it every Mother’s Day when the rhubarb in our garden is crisp and fresh.

    Reply

  389. comfort food would be the best – mac’n’cheese, bacon and greenbeans, and meatloaf w/a heaping side of mashed potatoes and gravy.

    Reply

  393. A fruit pizza for Mother’s Day would be nice, But I would give the gift card to my brother who is a student at BSU. He works at whole foods, so I’m sure he would know just how to spend the money.

    Reply

  396. I love Whole Foods. I would spend my card on a hunk of Bellweather Farms Carmody cheese. It’s one of my very favorite. Then I’d have to think of what could go with it….burgers? fruits? nuts? cracker? olives! must visit the olive bar too. Enjoy having one close to you.

    Reply

  411. Steak does sound good, with a big baked potato! But alas, I’d have to cook it for myself for Mother’s Day, since my husband is away for 3 weeks for military drills. 🙁

    Reply

  413. Well, I’m not the best cook but I make some pretty good pancakes so I’ll probably make some breakfast in bed? Sounds cheesy I know but you gotta admit is kinda cute. xD

    Reply

  421. Considering I do most of the cooking and baking 99% of the time in my household, I would really love if my husband and my children could give me a break on Mother’s Day to make two of my favorite foods, Moussaka and Leche Flan!

    Reply

  425. I would love to win this! We would do some sort of fresh mozz and basil pizza with a salad and some stuff for sundaes. =0)

  435. I will be making low-glycemic brownies for my Mother in law this weekend! She’s recently switched over to the low glycemic index diet for health reasons, and we’re all super proud of her.

    Reply

  438. I want some steak and a twice baked potato. YUM! Unfortunately my husband is in the elders quorum presidency and it is likely he will not be home to make me dinner… oh well! i’m having a baby any day and won’t have to do the cooking for a while!

  454. I actually love to cook for myself on Mother’s Day – that way I get exactly what I want. I just ask the hubby to do the cleaning and to take care of our daughter!

    Reply

  457. I’m from Austin and we have the Whole Foods mothership here. Anyone who visits gets taken there as one of our tourist attractions! We love our WF! I could easily spend $100 just buying lunch for all our visitors. That must include lots of gelato!

  459. Organic ham. YUMMM!!!! and chocolate anything…….

    Reply

  487. OMG!!!!!! I love Whole Foods aka (Whole paycheck) love the selection I find so many wonderful things for my kiddos with out yucky dyes and blak in it. My 6 year old is a cardiac pt so when he started eating solids we changed our eating habits in our house to fresh, green and lean and very rare out of a box. We aren’t perfect but Whole Foods has made life easier for our family to make this healthy change.

    Reply

  493. Ah! I have been dying to go to that new Whole Foods in Boise! For Mother’s Day instead of making me something I would LOVE the husband and kids to get one of those amazing fruit tarts…or brownies. They make really good brownies.

  500. I am looking forward to the men in our family making lunch for the women in our family….fajitas!!! And that sounds like exactly what I want!

    Reply

  506. I am addicted to Whole Foods, there isn’t one super close by where I live, but when I do get to go there my heart beats and I turn into a small child in a toy store. That being said, I would love to have something yummy off the grill cooked for me, I am loving grilling lately and the food seems so fresh and healthy!

  517. I think I’m going to make some gluten-free, dairy-free carrot cake waffles on Sunday. Yum! It’ll be quite the treat for our Mother’s Day brunch.

    Reply

  519. While my husband is an awesome cook, I would honestly prefer he not cook anything and buy me a piece of cake from our local bakery (The Bonbonerie in Cincinnati.) Which, by the way, if you ever find yourself close to Cincinnati, you absolutely must stop by and try one of their offerings. They made our wedding cake 10 years ago and I so desperately didn’t want to share any with our guests! 🙂 Thanks for the fun giveaway!

  581. I finally made it to Whole Foods for the first time last month….love that place!! I have emails going to those same places too. I am wondering if anyone reads them!!!

    Reply

  592. I would want some of that delicious looking fruit tart! Or I could make my own since their produce is so fresh and appealing all the time. The difference between Whole Foods and my local grocery store is like day and night. You can’t even compare the quality.

    Reply

  604. I would love a sweet treat, one made with either lemon or lime! SInce my husband is out of town, and my kids are only 8 and 4, it’s pretty safe to say the only food being made will be from me!

  655. Man, those tarts look good! I’ve never been to a Whole Foods store. I guess if I were to win, I’d tell my husband to buy/make something with exotic stuff I can’t find at Wal-Mart and I’d never buy anyway b/c it’s not in the budget.

    Reply

  695. I recently moved, and have a whole foods store half a mile away. Gosh, what have I missed all my life. I am making baked goods for my grandmothers and mother this mother’s day. I also made them little wooden boxes with photos on them. But, seriously an e-card to WHOLE FOODS…. WOW I NEED ONE BADLY.

    Reply

  698. Anything, as long as I get the day off from the kitchen. Don’t get me wrong: I love cooking, but a day off from cooking/cleaning is pure heaven. Oh, and if someone could throw in “not fighting” between my kids, that would be awesome!

    Reply

    Reply

  747. Love, love, love whole foods! I haven’t seen one there yet, but I would really love someone to make me a pavlova for Mothers day. They always look so pretty and light:) I’m afraid to attempt one, because I know it would just turn into a sloppy mess!

    Reply

  750. I want my husband to grill for me and chocolate cake! I love whole foods but don’t shop there often so this would be a great luxury

    Reply

  754. Grilled Chicken and Chocolate Cake Balls…my husband grills up the best chicken and the bonus is that I don’t feel guilty eating it. So when the cake balls come out….I am ready to savor every sweet chocolate bite. Thanks for the chance to win….I love Whole Foods!!!

    Reply

  763. Fresh fruit tart would be amazing or something with raspberries – I’ve been craving raspberries this pregnancy. We’re out of town this mothers day for a graduation, so I don’t think anything will be made the day of. But I might ask my husband to make breakfast our first morning back from the trip.

    Reply

  768. I would buy a whole fish and ask my 8 yr old daughter to roast it for me (she does!), and some small potatoes and have my husband grill them (he will!), then have my four boys make a yummy fruit salad and some kind of veggies…but they WON”T, oh well! It will still be yummy!!!!

    Reply

  770. I would love for someone to make me chicken alfredo! I love it and I never get to eat it… and breakfast in bed would be nice too! (my kids always try to do this though and it consists of dry toast and water- I usually feel like a prisoner or something!)

    Reply

  776. oh my goodness, i’d LOVE to win this gift certificate!!! WF is about 30 min. from my house, making it a destination shopping experience, not a weekly opportunity. i’d put that $100 to GOOD USE!

    what i’d like someone to do for me for mother’s day? give me extra energy–i’m traveling to my uncle’s funeral (from GA to IN and back in 48 hours) this weekend. i’ll need the extra oomph to be able to give of myself to my family.

  795. Whole Foods has this chocolate mousse cake that is super decadent! I would love to buy this for my mom (or, let’s be honest, myself) for Mother’ss Day!

    Reply

  796. Actually, I’m making what my mom wants!

    She and my step dad have moved into an assisted living facility where they do minimal meal prep. I asked her where she’d like to eat on Mother’s Day and she asked if they could come over to our house and could we grill? I forget they no longer have access to grill outdoors! So we’re having burgers and brats! And will make extra for them to take home for a few lunches!

    Enjoy your day!

  799. I LOVE Whole Foods, especially the bakery. I love trying new things especially products by local vendors. I would want pretty much anything from the bakery!

  807. If I can find raspberries I think I’ll ask my girls to make vacherin. They always want me to make (because it’s so delicious) . In fact, I think they can make dinner on Mother’s Day.

  815. Yay! A WF gift card! I actually do more shopping there than we can afford because my husband and sons have a myriad of allergies amongst the lot of ’em, and WF reliably has allergen-free versions of so many pantry staples. I’d use that gift card to get some of their amazingly good gluten-free chocolate cupcakes for a Mother’s Day splurge.

  830. I would love for my man to make your chocolate brownie recipe you recently posted. He made Sunday and they are delightful. I think I need to try them again with vanilla ice cream and strawberries for Mother’s Day.

  837. How about smores (with nutella instead of a chocolate bar)? My hubs is pretty good with a firepit. Of course, I think it’s supposed to 100 here on sunday. Maybe indoor smores?

  838. The BEST thing in the whole store is the Lacies, they’re like an inside-out Heath bar, only better. But mostly when I’m there I try to stay away from them and stock up on fresh herbs!

  847. Happy “Mother’s Day” to all the moms in your life!

    Surprise me!

  851. Tasty, delicious breakfast food. Waffles, bacon, hashbrowns, scrambled eggs, sourdough toast, sausage, biscuits & gravy, the list goes on…

    My eyes may be bigger than my stomach.

  856. I would like someone to make me a gluten free, refined sugar free cheesecake..because those are my dietary restrictions. And because it sounds delicious.

  860. I want my husband to make me anything! He can’t cook or bake so that would be a real surprise to see what he comes up with. Or he could just buy anything pre-made with this gift card!

  864. I love love love Whole Foods! I have had to be on this crazy strict diet for health reasons and it has been my saving grace more than once. For Mother’s Day I would be over-the-moon happy with some lovely ham and cheese crepes. And baked goods because I miss those most 🙂 I’m so with you there on beelining it straight for the WF bakery! Yumm!

  867. I would just love for someone to make me dinner but I would really love a whole bunch of carbs…homemade bread, donuts, biscuits…mmmm!

  872. I want someone to make me (or buy me) my chocolate wedding cake. It was the best cake ever, and here I am, 11 years later, still craving it.

    Reply

  881. Anything, as long as I don’t have to make it… Or really I wouldn’t even mind cooking it if someone keeps my three kids happy and busy while I cook!

    Reply

  883. Whole Foods is my favorite store ever. I could live there. Seriously, I would if I could… But I can’t, so that’s quite disappointing… 🙁

    But, something could cheer me up! 🙂 Anything sweet! I’m not picky. If someone makes me something sweet, then I’m there to snatch it up! Hehe 🙂 And besides, surprises rock!!! 🙂

    Thanks for hosting this giveaway! I hope luck goes my way!!!

  890. I’d love it if my husband made Thai peanut noodle salad for dinner. And crepes with nutella, strawberries, and ice cream for dessert. But if he just bought a treat from the Whole Foods bakery I’d be happy – it all looks delicious!

  894. Would love to win and would love for someone to make me a new recipe I recently saw for real food Brownie Cheesecake Bars…yum! 🙂

  900. Children? Take this $100 and make Mom (me) a super fun picnic of all the goodies we always pass up…. goat cheese, salami, pastries, berries, pears, brie, real good crusty bread, and whatever else you think I’d like!

    Reply

  903. I would love some fresh watermelon and peaches, a jamba juice (which doesn’t exist here) and no kitchen mess on Mother’s Day 🙂

    Reply

  906. I would love a $100 gift card to Whole Foods! With 8 kids all I want for Mother’s Day is for someone else to cook the dinner and not ask me what we should have! 🙂

    Reply

  919. Oh where would I even begin!? Cheeses and pastries for sure. I also love the salmon rice bowls at the Asian counter at my local store. Such a beautiful produce department too! Tanks for the great giveaway!!

    Reply

  923. Right now, I’m thinkin’ a gourmet panini and chocolate covered strawberries sound amazing. And maybe some cheesecake. Yummm………

    Reply

  930. Hmmm I’d love me some filet mignon with sauteed mushrooms, but since my husband is cooking, probably grilled chicken but hey I don’t have to cook so anything will be great!

    Reply

  937. I’m not picky – absolutely love Mother’s Day when my awesome husband and five kids do all the cooking and cleaning up. (My other dream: having happy, nice, well-behaved children all day doesn’t always happen though.) My husband has an injured leg right now and can’t stand much, so I guess we’ll see what the teenagers manage to cook! I LOVE Whole Foods – quite a drive from my house, but would be worth it with this gift card!

  942. I love this thing where you guys post every day! And I always love a fun giveaway, even if I never win. I’ve never been to whole foods so if I win it would give me a fun reason to go.

  949. I would love to wake up to breakfast in bed. I don’t know; however, if I would enjoy what my only “child”, my 8 year old Boston Terrier, might make for me.

    Reply

  951. Crepes!! My brother-in-law made them for mother’s day years ago and I’ve wanted him to make them again ever since!! Of course, I know how to make them, thanks to you, but so much better when someone else makes them!! LOL

    Reply

  970. No one EVER makes me anything for Mother’s Day, so I guess I’d have to go with what I want to make myself! Pumpkin pancakes with maple whipped cream and toasted pecans. Or someone could just head to Chicago and pick me up a Portillo’s Hot Dog–I miss those (no Portillos in PA)!

    Reply

  972. I’m just happy if someone else is doing the cooking, but if a request could be made, definitely something with crab and shrimp….Ohhhh how I love seafood! And top it off with a dessert of something with chocolate and berries:) Delish!

    Reply

  974. I would love for someone to make me anything really. It has been years since someone made something for me. Sad, I know. On a plus side, I really enjoy cooking, so it may be partially because I hog the kitchen!

    Reply

  976. Wow, $100 to have fun with! That would be amazing. I don’t cook on Mother’s Day and I am pretty happy with what ever is on the menu, but my fav is creme brulee.

    Reply

  987. This is my first Mothers’ Day as a mom, and I’d love breakfast in bed with that yummy potato, eggs and bacon breakfast casserole from this blog. Mmmmmm…
