My Seven Links & Free Yogurt
| August 9, 2011 | Filled under Misc., Reviews |
I had every intention of posting a new recipe and launching a new series on cooking for one last night, but I got caught up in design issues that took longer than expected and left me feeling like my brain was fried.
Hopefully it was worth it though. I still have a few loose ends to tie up, but my hope is that the new layout is crisper, cleaner and (hopefully!) quicker to load. I’ll be back soon with that new recipe. In the meantime, my friend Amy tagged me in the Seven Links post that’s been going around – I thought it would be a fun way to revisit some of the older recipes I’ve posted. Read More
A Contest, Winners & Lentils for Everybody!
| May 31, 2011 | Filled under Misc. |
Over the past few weeks, I’ve had a lot of fun playing around with lentils and dry peas. In addition to the three recipes that I’ve posted here, I made a fantastic taco salad using seasoned lentils instead of beef (I didn’t post it because the photos were dark and the recipe wasn’t all that fascinating – but I urge you to try it!) and I’m working on a recipe that uses lentils as a filler in lamb sausages. So even thought the challenge is now over, you definitely haven’t seen the last of lentils around here!
As a participant in the US Dry Pea and Lentil Council Blogger Challenge, I was asked to choose my favorite of the three gluten-free pea/lentil recipes that I developed to be entered into a contest. Since I absolutely loved each recipe, deciding on one was really difficult! It was a tough call, but I finally decided on the Lentil and Strawberry Salad with Pepper-Crusted Tuna. I just loved the balance of sweet, spicy, and earthy flavors.
So here’s how the contest works: if I receive more comments on this post than the other participants receive on their final posts, I win a set of Le Crueset Stainless Steel pots. Pretty sweet!
Go check out the other entries. Then – if my recipe is your favorite – come back here and leave a comment letting me know. Or let me know if you preferred one of my other recipes (the lemony lentil patties with massaged kale salad or the chocolate pea-nut butter cookies).
As a final gift, the US Dry Pea and Lentil Council has agrees to send lentil samples to the first 500 people who email their name and address to peasnlentils@edelman.com. (Your information will not be used again or shared with any third parties.)
And now for the winners!! I really loved all of your responses and I wish that I had a prize for everyone. But the winner of the Stainless Steel Le Crueset Casserole with Steamer insert is comment #25, left by Jenn T., who loves to eat tomatoes right off the vine. The Chicago Metallic Winged Cookie Sheet goes to Comment #18, left by Cindy, who loves to make pea soup. I’ll be reaching out to the two of you for your mailing info. Enjoy!
I’ll be back later this week with a great summer drink recipe that you won’t want to miss. Read More
