Food is Love 2010: Round-up and Winners

Earlier this month Jennifer at Savor the Thyme and I hosted a fun Valentine's contest called Food is Love. We wanted to see how you show your family and friends love on Valentine's Day with food. We were smitten with all of the wonderful entries you sent in and agonized for hours choosing the winners. Below is a round-up of half of the entries from the contest, you can find the rest over at Jennifer's awesome site. As you'll see, Bonnie, the winner in the Silly/Funny category, is listed below. The remaining two winners and the rest of the contestants are showcased at Savor the Thyme.

Thanks again to all of our entrants. The winners will receive prizes from Scharffen Berger Chocolate Maker, easily the best chocolate producer ever. I love their premium chocolate for baking, eating and just about anything!

Winner in the Silly/Funny Category- Bonnie of SweetLifeBakes: Wouldn't you love to wake up to grapefruits like these on Valentine's Day!

Cara of Big Girls, Small Kitchen with Dairy-Free Carrot Cake: How sweet that Cara thoughtfully made a dairy-free carrot cake for boyfriend on this special holiday.

Stacie of ChowMama with Orange and Chocolate Chunk Cookies: These are right up my alley. I've already printed out this recipe and will be baking them soon with my newly arrived crate of fresh citrus from Florida!

Elina of The Naked Beet: Chocolate Chili Cherry Cookies, say that three times fast! Then, start baking, these awesomely delicious cookies are bound to impress just about everyone.

ChezUs with Pink Macaroons with Bittersweet Ganache: Making these babies are not easy and ChezUs has done a gorgeous job. On top of it, check out the gorgeous photo!

Alyssa of Sweet and Savory Food with Heart Shaped Red Velvet Cake: This luscious red cake is enough to make anyone swoon!

 

Ally of Artistic Eatables with Eggs in a Frame: I think anyone would be excited to wake up to such a gorgeous breakfast, myself included!

Food is Love: Show us Your Love for Valentine's Day

A few weeks ago Jennifer at Savor The Thyme and I started talking about teaming up for a fun Valentine’s Day event based on the idea that ‘Food is Love.' We thought it would be great to see how everyone shows their love to families through food on this particular holiday. What do you make to brighten someone’s day, put a smile on his or her face?

Share with us your delicious creations along with a little blurb about the dish and, perhaps, a picture of it as well. At the end of the challenge we’ll do a round-up, post every entry and give some fabulous prizes from Scharffen Berger (my personal favorite chocolate ever!) in three categories:

1. Romantic

2. Silly and/or Funny

3. Kidtastic

The Challenges Runs from February 8th - February 16th at Midnight EST.

To Enter:

1) Post about your creation on your blog, linking back to Savor the Thyme and The Naptime Chef. Send us a link and photo of your post! We welcome any posts that were published before the start of our challenge, just be sure to update it with a link to both sites. Enter as many times as you wish.

2) No blog? No problem! Send us a photo, video or vlog of your entry telling us what, where and when it was taken. Provide a URL, if applicable (a still shot or capture would be great, too).

3) Unfortunately we can’t accept international entries.

4) EMAIL YOUR ENTRIES TO: foodislove2010@gmail.com. Please include your name and e-mail address so that we may contact you should you win a prize.

5) Prizes will be announced and sent after the completion of the contest!

Feel free to show us some sweet tweet love. After all, the more support you garner, the better for voting. Tweet about this challenge using the #foodislove hashtag (@savorthethyme @TheNaptimeChef)

There will be a round up on both sites February 18th!

Thanks for your participation!
