Help A DUer Win A Recipe Contest
With my husband out of work and me being the sole breadwinner I have been doing my best to try to earn a little money here and there trying something new like entering a recipe contest. For me it was a big leap of faith. Seems like I've been doing a lot of leaping lately and in this caase I just can't believe it but I'm actually a finalist in a recipe contest. I can win some free groceries. I need people to vote for my recipe.

The Website address is:

http://www.blogher.com/vote-best-recipe-stove-top-dinner-challenge

and my recipe is:

RECIPE #8: The Best Tex-Mex Casserole Ever

If I come in second or third I can win $500 in groceries. That would be such a blessing.

so many great things have happened to me since I've joined the DU and I think the positive "yes we can" attitude has just wiped off on me. I don't know if I ever would have entered a recipe contest before but now I'm a finalist. Wow. It's amazing!!!!!!!!!!!

One question: will they be able to find out that we came from DU? Or will it not matter?

8. Scroll down to almost the bottom of the page
There is a little gray box with all of the recipes. You pick your favorite (I chose "The Best Tex-Mex Casserole Ever" ;-) ) and click "vote now" - and that's it!

Good luck to you, Undergroundnomore and welcome to DU! :hi:

20. Make chili, but instead of using chili powder, use Berbere an Ethiopian
spice mixture. Use a lot of tomato paste, beef broth, onion, bay leaf, black pepper, GARLIC. red wine and a half stick of butter. Beans not needed. Make it nice and thick. I thickened it with flour. I used stew beef cut up in smaller pieces. Serve with an IPA or APA, saltines, or whole wheat bread. It's also good over brown rice.
