Whip It Good!- AGAIN.

It's BAAAACK!!!!

Did you participate in the Whip It Up Recipe Challenge last year?
Did you enjoy it?
Do you want to do it again??

Good.

This year, the lovely Erin @ Mama Said No! and I have partnered to bring you this year's installment of Whip It Up.

The basic idea is that Erin and I will try and post about one new recipe each week for 8 weeks and we'd love it if you joined us in our culinary journey! Last year's challenge had 57 participants who tested out recipes of all sorts from beverages to breakfast. Imagine all of the recipe swapping that will occur! I'm getting so excited just thinking about it all!!


What's Involved?

The challenge will run for 8 weeks, from June 28th- August 22. Every Sunday Erin or I will post a weekly wrap up with all of the recipes that people have tried.

Every week, there are three simple steps:

1. Cook! The only strict rule is that you attempt and post about one new- to you recipe each week. The type of dish, cooking method, and quantity are all up to you. The most important aspect is that you have never tried the recipe before.
2. Post! Write up your experience on your site including photos, if you can. You can be as in depth as you'd like, but posts should answer the following questions, in addition to providing the recipe: Was the recipe easy to follow? Did the dish taste good? Would you make it again?
3. Tell us! Email us the posts permalink and it will be included in the Sunday wrap up.

Just like last year there's a prize involved! Every participant who successfully finishes the challenge will qualify for a raffle to win a choice of three cookbooks.... which at the moment are TBD. But I can tell you they are the most fabulous TBD cookbooks that you can imagine!

Erin and I will NOT be accepting any excuses about why you cannot join in our fun.
So save your... "but it's the summer and I'm going on vacation!" and your "I'm too busy" and your " I don't know what to make" and your "Everytime I cook the fire department shows up"... because all we will be doing is putting our fingers in our ears and yelling "I'm NOT LISTENING!!!!!!!!!!!!"

We understand that it is the summer and you may take a vacation and blah blah blah blah... so we will allow you to post a maximum of 2 recipes per week if you will be away and miss a week. I'm trying real hard hereto be sympathetic to all of you going away ::cough cough:: can you tell that I am not taking a summer vacation this year??
