Good Monday morning to everyone! We're just going to dive right in this week...
Canadian Lentils Recipe Challenge
We'd just like to remind you all about the Canadian Lentils Lentil Recipe Revelations Challenge. The contest runs from February 6 - March 19 and you have the opportunity to create a new and unique recipe featuring lentils. There is a $1000 cash prize for the grand winner and $250 Amazon giftcards up for grabs for the best recipe in each of the contest categories, excluding the grand prize winner. Those are some generous prizes!
So, get creative and check out our Canadian Lentils Challenge post for more information. You can also follow Canadian Lentils on Twitter and Facebook!
Canada Beef & Eat, Write, Retreat!
Be sure to pop by the site tomorrow for a great opportunity for Canadian food bloggers from Canada Beef. If you have long wanted to attend a Food Blogging Conference but haven't had the opportunity, this may just be your chance!
We Want YOU...
...to write for us! We are getting ready to start planning our second quarter editorial calendar and we are looking for ideas and suggestions for things you'd like to learn more about from a food and blogging perspective.
Do you have a great idea? Or do you have some knowledge that you'd like to share with our readers that might help them grow their blogs? Some of our best posts this year have come from ideas pitched to us by our readers. Posts like Steve's Easy Recipe Plug-In, Michelle's Intro to Ethnic Cooking, Melissa's 7 Ways to Make Your Blog More Reader Friendly and our upcoming post this week on The Cookbook Conference were all ideas pitched by our readers.
So don't be shy! If you have a great idea, be sure to get in touch and let us know about it!
