Well, you've followed us for the past 26 weeks as we've journeyed through the alphabet on this fun and exciting project we call the "Letters From My Kitchen" blog. Thank you for "liking" our Facebook updates, scrolling through our posts and pictures and helping us with suggestions when we struggled to find just the right recipe for a couple of those crazy letters (uhhh, "X" anyone??!). In order to send our "thanks" to you, we're holding a contest. Yep, the first ever on this sweet blog of ours. All you have to do to be entered is leave a comment on either this post here on the blog, or on the blog's Facebook page, and tell us what your favorite recipe has been or what you'd like to see us make on the next go 'round. Yes, that's right, another 26 weeks are coming your way. : ) We just couldn't stop...we're having too much fun. More on that in a minute. So....leave us a comment of your favorite recipe, and we'll pick a winner at random to win something freshly baked from our own very kitchens. Woohoo!
OK, so, would you like to know what we'll be doing for the next 26 weeks? Jessica and I have been dying to tell you, so here's how it goes:
Have any of you seen shows like Iron Chef America, Top Chef or Chopped where they feature a "secret ingredient" that the chef-testant then has to use as a part of his/her dish? Well, we decided to step up the challenge a little bit more on the blog and thus we'll each be "dishing" out a secret ingredient to each other that has to be used in some form as part of the following week's recipe. The "letters" will still be featured because the secret ingredient has to start with the letter of that particular week. Fun, huh? We think so and we're excited to get started! So.....without further adieu, Jessica's secret ingredient this week is............................
APPLESAUCE!
Oooo! I love that idea! And I want to win the prize! So, I'm torn between two cookie recipes of Jessica's - either the Twix one or the cranberry white chocolate oatmeal one. Both look delicious!
ReplyDeleteI've been dying to know what was coming next! I'm excited to see the next 26 letters. As for favorite, I think I had several, but since I got to taste the Watermelon Granita recently, I'm going with that one. It was light, refreshing and delicious!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to comment even though if I win, you'll have to wait until Thanksgiving for me to claim my prize : ) I've made 3 of the recipes on my own and was in the kitchen with Jessica for 3 others... My favorite (so far) is the Quinoa Salad! Looking forward to 26 more weeks of wonderful posts!
ReplyDeleteHey, not to be left out *I'm* gonna comment, too. I really liked the Lime Chicken Tacos, but I can't let it go at that. I have to also (sadly) say that I found the Maple Cranberry Popcorn Balls both enticingly named and yet generally wrong in oh so many ways....
ReplyDeleteI'm with Dad on this one. the Lime Chicken Tacos were my favorite. But also the Lemon garlic hummus!!! mmmmm.
ReplyDeleteAlso i really want to win this contest. I can always use GF baked things!!
p.s. if i had tasted the watermelon granita it would have been my new favorite i think
So tough to choose, and I still have so many flagged to try! Raspberry buttermilk cake was a major hit... the Yogurt chicken I got to try was so yummy too!
ReplyDeleteI also really want to give the Tomato Basil pasta a try, as soon as I get some cashew milk. And Lemon everything, and Kale chips... okay, I'll stop now, I'm getting hungry! ~Becca
