Hello My Dearest Foodies,

The exciting moment you are all waiting for is here so lets see who are the amazing WINNERS of the week chosen by our HONORABLE GUEST JUDGE @carolynstahl. Even if she admits how challenging it was for her as you can read here " It's difficult to make a decision when so many entries are worthy of a win. Wow the lovely creators that come this way just amaze me and I want to choose them all but this is not the way this works so here goes."

She did it with flying colors so lets give her and all the WINNERS A BIG ROUND OF APPLAUSE!!! Nevertheless, great job everyone, so BIG APPLAUSE to you too!!!

Big thanks to everyone for their contribution! @barbara-orenya, the wonderful artist and creator of the lovely wonkies and our HONORABLE SPONSORS @progressivechef, @donkeypong & @helene 🍒 🍌🍑🍍🍓

AND NOW, WHAT WE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR!!! TRUMPETS PLEASE!!! CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU ALL ! A WELL-EARNED AWARD!
THE WINNERS ARE:

3rd PRIZE 1.50 SBD

To @plantbasedmiri for SWEET POTATO SHEPHERD'S PIE
" I have never even thought of making a shepards pie with sweet potato. Of course that would be a great way to make a vegan shepards pie to not only impress a vegan, but any meat eater I know, would love it. The beans, mushrooms and smoked paprika sound so comforting and tasty."

2nd PRIZE 2.50 SBD

To @birdsinparadise for STRAWBERRY RHUBARB BROWNIE CHEESECAKE!
"This lovely birdy can whip up some mean desserts. And this particular one among many that she's created is raw and has nutritional value. You wouldn't feel bad if this is all your children ate for breakfast. This is so beautiful and looks like it should be in a showcase. I hope she considers having a shop some day selling each slice for a high price."

1 PRIZE 4.00 SBD

To @plantstoplanks for BROCCOLI SALAD & PINEAPPLE TOFU BOWL
" I just love all of the ingredients she put into her dish. She carefully flavored her dish and chose different textures. I have never tried black rice before and I imagine it would be chewier and nuttier then white rice, which would add to the enjoyment of this dish. The pineapple and the tofu really grab my attention. I love those combinations. She is a top notch inspiration for healthier eating!"

BONUSES 1.00 SBD EACH

To @rawadventures for a very exotic smoothie. I have never imagined making a smoothie from tamarind and I've never seen this pear like fruit before. Along with the cinnamon and the creaminess of the bananas, I imagine it to taste just dreamy. I consider her one of the best raw chefs I know of.
TAMARIND-PEAR SMOOTHIE WITH CINNAMON

To @ngocbich for her mushroom creations made with mushrooms that are not commonly used here in Canada although they are available. She has shown us some creative ways to prepare them. The platter looks like it would win any crowd over and the the mushroom salad sounds like something I would just love. Not to mention that her video is amazing with top notch video production value.
WINTER MUSHROOM SALAD

To @proanima for a homemade pizza that has some wonderful toppings. I like that she put turnip as well as the other items making it different from the average veggie pizza. It really made me want pizza!
FRUITS AND VEGGIES MONDAY/PIZZA

To @jaklassen for those lovely pancakes. I love that they are made with chia, millet and konjac making them light and gluten free. Of course that superb raspberry and blackcurrent ice is just... wow!
