Dinner for 2 Contest Entrants

I wanted to thank everyone who entered the contest. I regret that I can't post all the great photos but here are a few that I really liked.

Please come back on Friday for the winner.

1.  "I consider myself pretty good in the kitchen and I better be because I love to eat! lol  I like simple, but flavorful food and I love seafood, so I whipped up a quick but tastey meal ...I sauteed the biggest shrimp I could find in olive oil and cajun seasoning, and roasted some cubed butternut squash with a little olive oil, sea salt, garlic powder and black pepper...simmered shrimp and bake squash for 20 minutes (made a salad while that was cooking). Voila! Dinner in a flash! lol  I finished that off with a dessert of my famous Butter Rum cake:-)"----Sandra

 

#2--"I love to cook, and for the last year have been posting photos of dinner on Facebook. Thanks for this opportunity!-Deb."

"On Sunday, we made this pot of Manhattan clam chowder for dinner. We like really hearty soups with lots of flavor, but we pay attention to fat and calories so we decided to try a barley clam chowder recipe this time. We use vegetable stock and no bacon. For this pot, we used some root veggies - carrot, turnip and rutabaga, along with celery, Roma tomatoes, green beans, onion and garlic. We seasoned with oregano, a little basil, cayenne and black pepper, and finished with fresh chopped parsley. I like crusty bread, my Sweetie is more disciplined. It was good for dinner that night and we’ll enjoy it as a part of the meal for the rest of the week.  Thanks, Charlie"

"It’s a garlic, corn and cheese chile relleno.  On the side is brown rice with black bean and corn, and guacamole."
