After much cooking, tasting, and general over-stuffedness, we at Food Revolution are (finally!) proud to announce the winner of our first monthly “Frugal Foodie Challenge.”

And the winner is …

Sausage Bread with Mozzarella by Jack of Redacted Recipes!!!

While there wasn’t a single entry we didn’t enjoy, Jack provided a recipe that was delicious, filling, and easily adaptable. He also provided a recipe that was easy to follow and didn’t leave out any important steps. This was important because I followed each recipe as much as possible and I think some dishes may have fared better with easier/more in-depth directions.

So, Jack … now that you’ve won the inaugural FFC, please contact me to collect your prize!

Contest: Frugal Foodie Challenge!

December 27, 2007 at 7:45 pm | Posted in Contest, Frugal Foodie Challenge, January | 12 Comments

That’s right, folks, you saw it here first! In my quest for inexpensive yet tasty meals, I’ve decided to turn the ideas over to the masses.

So here’s the lowdown on the first ever Frugal Foodie Challenge!

I challenge you to create an entire meal (not including dessert or beverages) for two people. Each month I will give you a dollar value and a special ingredient, and you are to be as creative as possible.

This month’s ingredient is MOZZARELLA CHEESE. You may spend no more than $7.

Deadline for entries is January 25th, 5:00pm EST. The winner will be posted no later than January 31st at 5:00pm EST.

A prize will be given to the person who creates the most creative, tasty, and useable meal within the guidelines! This prize will consist of a “blog button” with the Frugal Foodie logo to display on your blog and a kitchen gadget, still to be determined – but definitely random.

For those of you who desire the rest of the specifics, here are the rules:

&#149 You must create a complete meal for TWO people.
&#149 You can spend NO MORE THAN $7 for both servings.
&#149 You must include the following ingredient: MOZZARELLA CHEESE
&#149 Each meal must be “re-creatable” by me for less than $7.
&#149 Basic pantry staples are not required to be included in cost. Please use good judgment as to what this entails – email me if any questions!
&#149 You may include partial costs for ingredients that must be bought in bulk. i.e. A carton of eggs costs $1.50 but you only used one. You can credit that as $0.12
&#149 Post recipe/instructions/photos on your blog by the deadline. If you don’t have a blog, you can still participate, but email me for further directions.
&#149 Email me a link to your blog post for the contest.
&#149 The top 2-3 meals will be re-created and judged based on creativity, taste, ease of “construction” and overall cost.
&#149 Winner will be posted no later than the last day of the month.

If you are interested in participating or have any questions, please email me at foodrevolutionblog@gmail.com or leave me a comment in this post before the judging deadline.

GOOD LUCK – and – GO!
