Project Food Blog Cook-off: April Winner(s) and May Recipes

First up, April’s winner. Or winners. Because I can’t decide between two. Er, three. That’s terrible, isn’t it? Or not. It really attests to the quality of recipes being written by food bloggers. There was not one recipe of this bunch that I didn’t like, and I will definitely make all of them again.

When it comes down to it though, there are three recipes that I’m officially addicted to. I know I made a list of judging criteria—taste, presentability, adaptability, and ease of preparation—and all of the winning recipes had varying degrees of each. The trump card, however, goes to the addiction factor. So, without further ado, here are the three recipes I chose as the winners for this round of Project Food Blog Cook-off:

Ravioli Dinner Salad by Cooking with Amy

Tom Yum Soup by the Vagrant Epicure

Key Lime Cream Cheese Frosting (and Coconut Cupcakes) by Coconut and Lime

Thank you to all the bloggers who posted their terrific recipes online. My husband and I have happy bellies. :)
And now for May’s recipes:

Savory Sausage and Fennel Galette from Food Blogga

Whole Wheat Apple Muffins from Smitten Kitchen

Mango, Chorizo, and Chicken Quesadillas from Peanut Butter and Julie

Basil Lime Shrimp with Plantains from Bitchen Camero

Eggplant Parmesan from Cooking with Amy

Banana Cookies from Simply Recipes

Chile Con Queso from Homesick Texan

Stay tuned!

    What a fun idea! I’m glad you liked the ravioli salad recipe. I hope you have fun with the eggplant parmesan, it is lighter than most recipes for the dish, but very satisfying and I make it all the time.

    Thanks, Amy! I absolutely love eggplant parmesan. I think it’s one of my favorite dishes ever. It’s a shame that most people fry it, however. Ugh. I’ve made my own version for years that’s only baked, as well, so I can’t wait to try yours!
