Hello My Dearest Foodies,

Believe or not, I was invited to spend few days at the chalet with friends, in BLUE MOUNTAINS, which was totally unexpected, but great surprise! We just arrived last night and the weather wasn't the best so far, but I do enjoy the this lovely place very much. We should have more sun next couple of days so I will be taking lots of photos capturing the beauty of this magical place in autumn.

As you can imagine, we are very limited when comes to an internet connection, nevertheless, here I am with the FRUITS AND VEGGIES MONDAY PRIZES chosen by our wonderful HONORABLE GUEST JUDGE Hive account@plantstoplanks. But first, let's see what our judge has to say about her experience:

"I keep thinking that every time I'm in the hot seat to judge for the week that it will get easier with practice, but I think it only gets harder as I truly enjoy everyone's entries so much. It's like the rare occasion you get to go to an all-vegan restaurant and you just can't decide what to order. 😋"

This lady did a fabulous job, so lets give her a big STANDING OVATION and also to all the WINNERS and our FRUITS & VEGGIES FAMILY! Great job everyone!

THE WINNERS ARE:

3rd PRIZE 1.50 SBD

To Hive account@puravidaville for Spicy Sauce-ah, Itsa Italian

"I grew up with mostly pre-made pasta sauce (sorry to rat you out ma), and I am so glad to have broken out of that mold. There is just no substitute for veggie-packed, hearty and delicious homemade sauce like Hive account@puravidaville whipped up. This is another one of those posts that you just look at the picture and know that kitchen smelled good for days!!"

2nd PRIZE 2.50 SBD

To Hive account@proanima for Baked apple rings with cinnamon sugar
"Just when I thought I'd seen all the different apple recipes, you share another traditional recipe that has us all drooling! The recipe itself is pretty straight forward, but I love how you wrote up this post with such great photos and instruction. Brilliant effort my friend!"

1st PRIZE 4.00 SBD

To Hive account@jasmink for Rice and Beans with a Secret Ingredient

"I always look forward to seeing what you share each week, Jasmin! I don't think you have ever shared anything that I wouldn't make in my own kitchen, and this rice and beans with a nutty twist is no exception. A delicious personal stamp on a plant-based classic!!"

BONUSES 1.00 SBD EACH

To Hive account@cicisaja for Vegan Food Court in Front Of My Gate
" What a wonderful glimpse of the local foods! It's always so interesting to see what different food cultures are like in places I've never visited. I would love to sit at your house and see firsthand what each of those food cart vendors are cooking up each day."

To Hive account@drawmeaship for Coconut Popcorn
"Easy, healthy snacks are always welcome in my world. With all the pre-packaged snacks out there, we can all use a reminder from time to time how quick it is to make something like popcorn at home. I can almost smell that fresh-popped scent if I close my eyes!"

To Hive account@icybc for Wholesome And Delicious Cauliflower Soup
"A bowl of satisfying soup is always welcome in my house, too. 😉 Especially with homemade veggie broth! I always enjoy the simple yet totally nourishing recipes you present to us!"

To Hive account@birdsinparadise for It’s a Wrap! Black Bean and Corn Salad
"I say it all the time, but Mr. Bird is one lucky man. This wrap skimps on nothing! You grabbed all the best things from the kitchen and stuck it in one tasty meal. Black beans and corn really are a perfect pair, especially with avocado thrown into the mix."

To Hive account@tattoodjay for Entry Seasonal Veggies
"Honorable mention to Hive account@tattoodjay for joining in for the first time? His photos are always fantastic, so it was a pleasure to see him jump in this week!!"
