REDBROWNBLONDE will be cooking Huevos Rancheros later in the week. The recipe sounds delicious, healthy and a little bit challenging, so we're excited to try it! Thanks for all the great submissions everyone!

RED BROWN BLONDE CONTEST : TWO
As you may or may not know, the Brown member of the party will soon be making her way to the beaches of Hawaii... for quite an extended stay. While the Blonde and the Red members are anxiously awaiting the day we get to visit the Brown one, we are mourning her departure from the mainland. Our last state-side get-together will be the week of July 12th in good ol' Columbus, Ohio. We'll be exploring and shopping (IKEA is just an hour away...), and talking and staying up late and of course, cooking and eating, two of our favorite things. We already have a few meals planned out but we want to try something new and delicious - thus, a contest! What better way to try new recipes than as a REDBROWNBLONDE farewell party?
I'll give you the good stuff first, the PRIZE:
I like this book so much that I've considered keeping it despite the fact that it was purchased as a contest prize. Though it's full of fabulous photos and delicious recipes, it's not your everyday cookbook -- it's an educational and interesting look at the connections between the foods we eat and the way we feel. Author Natalie Savona (nutritionist), suggests meals for different ailments or conditions like Seasonal Affective Disorder (wish I had had this book over the winter!), the common cold, binge eating, and energy deficiencies. It also recommends foods to eat when feeling stressed or while PMS-ing! My favorite section is the Feel Good Food in which she lays out yummy suggestions for food that really will make you feel better (even though I was disappointed when I realized that my chocolate chip cookie dough recipe was not included here). The winner will receive one copy of this wonderful cookbook!
Guidelines:
Submit up to two delicious main course recipes to Redbrownblonde@gmail.com by July 12th, 2010. We'll choose a winner on the 14th and document/post our enjoyment of the chosen dish along with the recipe (if given permission by the recipe-giver)! Be as creative as you like! While we'll gladly accept Hawaiian-inspired dishes, they won't necessarily increase your chances of winning. Good luck! We can't wait to get tasting!

TWO.TWO (second observance of whacky holiday)
We're only two weeks into April and it's already been a busy month! I hope you all enjoyed April 8th whether the day had anything to do with birds or not. Draw a Picture of a Bird Day is so appropriately placed at the beginning of spring when you really appreciate the little creatures finding their way back to your open window with a song. I'm so excited about all the entries we received- they are each so different and so great! I can't wait to share them with you, so I'll stop yapping. But I do want to wet your whacky holiday taste buds by making you aware of a few other great holidays this month: April 13th is Scrabble Day, April 14th is Reach As High As You Can Day and April 28th is shared by Kiss Your Mate Day and Great Poetry Reading Day (both of which I will be observing given that I've got a kissable mate who happens to write great poetry, fabulous) AND it's BLONDE'S BIRTHDAY! We'll be announcing the BIRD winner TUESDAY so check back!
