Food Fight #5 #6- The Fight for the Frugal!!!!!!

Announcing Food Fight #6- The Fight for the Frugal!!!!

I've chosen this theme because times are tight, let's face it. I've been doing a lot of blogging to prove it, but it's nothing you don't know, right? I know a lot of you have food gardens, cut coupons, and make a lot of stuff from scratch, so here's your chance to profit from it!

In terms of judging, here's the deal. The usual "Four P's" criteria will apply- presentation, preparation, photography, and pizzaz in the writing, but the twist this time is the fifth P- "penny pinching". Along with your usual entertaining write-ups when you enter your dish with up to 3 pictures, you'll have to 'break down' what you submit with prices, and the frugality of your dish will be a major criteria. I'd like to see 3 courses- appetizer/soup/salad, entree, and dessert, and your pricing should be based on feeding four, even if you have more or less mouths to feed in your home.

Let's give everyone two weeks to submit, so we'll close entries at the end of the day on Thursday, August 28th. Email me your entries with picture(s), interesting write-up, and the pricing. Notice you have to take out the phrase 'REMOVETHESEWORDS' from my email address before sending, this is to thwart the scum-sucking spammers.

Prizes? Did you say prizes? What, the thrill of a job well done isn't enough?

Didn't think so.

I'll be giving great prizes like our all natural, gluten free Survival Spice® barbecue rub, Tibvrtini Olio Novella- one of the finest olive oils in the world, and their Tibvrtini Aceto di Vino Blanco organic white wine vinegar. And to make it more interesting, the more entries we get this time, the better the prizes will be. First prize will be all 3 of these, and more!!

Seriously, let's have a lot of entries this time, I really do want to reward all of us who try so hard to make great stuff without spending a lot of money.

Get cooking!!! Let me know in the comments or by email if you're interested.
