The Chic Life: Food Challenge

Welcome!

Welcome to my Weekly Food Challenge page! I started this challenge as a way to motivate myself and others to explore the wonderful world of food. I hope you check back here on The Chic Life (click to view) to see what wonderful things we're cooking up each week.

The Challenge Basics:
Let's start with the challenge basics, first. I want to have a weekly food challenge where each week, I select an ingredient and challenge each of you to cook/prepare something of your choice during a one week period, at least once, using that ingredient. I'll add a Mr. Linky to my challenge post so you can add a link to your blog where you blogged about your challenge dish. If you cook/prepare more than one dish with the week's ingredients, you're welcome to link to all of your posts using the challenge ingredient. If you don't have a blog, I believe you should be able to link to anything, like Flickr, if you upload a photo there, etc. If you don't have a blog or access to somewhere where you can upload a photo, you can just leave a comment with what you made. I'd love to hear about it! Oh, and don't worry about getting fancy with this, even if you just eat the ingredient raw, that counts!

Why Play the Weekly Food Challenge:
If you resolved to eat healthier in '09...
If you get tired of cooking the same thing all the time...
If you are interested in trying foods you may not normally cook/eat...
If you want to learn more about new foods...
Or even if you just love food...
...Then play along with the weekly challenge.

Copy the code in the above box and paste it into the "code" portion of your blog post. (Note: if you can see images in your blog post while you're working on it, you're probably in the "rich text editor" or "GUI" - there should be a tab or something to take you to the code). Leave me a comment if you have problems adding the code to your blog, and I'll be happy to help you out. :)
