Congratulations to Diane Smith of Pine Mountain, GA! Her Dee Dee's South of the Border Corn Pudding took top honors in the Just A Pinch Get Fresh: Veggie Favorites Contest.

"Nothing brings summer to the table like fresh vegetables out of the garden. Hope you enjoy this loaded corn pudding!"

For her outstanding veggie creation Diane wins a $500 gardening gift package. Thanks to all of you who opened up their recipe boxes and let their veggies shine - they were outstanding!!!

Additional congrats go to our runners-up:
Spicy Gazpacho - Sandra McGrath of Harrisville, RI
"Summertime is such a great opportunity, to take advantage of the bounty and availability of tomatoes and cucumbers. I find this a refreshing change to the usual picnic fare (although I will never give up my cookout dishes!). It's both tasty and healthy."

Roasted Beet Salad with Honey Dijon Vinaigrette - Susan Bickta of Kutztown, PA
"This delicious salad is a combination of three of my favorite salads. I like to make this during the holidays because it is so colorful. I almost called it "Bejeweled Roasted Beet Salad" because of all of the jewel-tone colors!"


Are you ready for some winning too? Check out the latest Just A Pinch contests and ENTER TO WIN some tasty prizes of your own!

Diane and Susan congratulations as well.Love my chefs hat.My friend Linda and I have started a tradition of a cook-off at our annual Halloween Party between her and I. The guests vote not knowing who made which dish.Last year she won and I was runner up. I hope to win this year. I am beginning to collect a few ribbons and trophies and having such fun.Stay calm and cook on!

Look what came by UPS just a few minutes ago! I haven't taken a picture of the composter or wheel barrow yet, Jimmy is going to put those together for me tomorrow. We are both very excited to say the least! And I am truly honored to be an honorary kitchen crew member! I wasn't expecting that. Such an exciting day! Thank you! Heart you!!!
