Coffee Rubbed Steak & Cashew Salad #CIC

It is the 20th of the month and that means time for Crazy Ingredient Challenge.  Each month we pick two ingredients from a list and the ingredients with the most votes are the ones we make a recipe from.  This month's winners are  Coffee and Cashews.

Pumpkin Bacon Ratatouille - #CIC

I was excited when I saw that pumpkin what one of the ingredients for this month's Crazy Ingredient Challenge.  I wasn't sure if I would have time this month to make my dish but luckily I did and it was AMAZING or at least I thought so.

Crazy Ingredient Challenge - Cranberries and Shallots {Quinoa Kale Salad}

Once again it is time for our Crazy Ingredient Challenge.  I missed last month's challenge as June seemed to be so busy for me... so something had to give.

Crazy Ingredient Challenge - Wasabi and Grapefruit

Are you a procrastinator like me?  I am sure that I have talked about this before, but here I am just before the day I need to post this, making my recipe... Sure glad that it turned out as I didn't have a back up plan.

Crazy Ingredient Challenge - Lemon Peep Milkshake

It is that time of the month again... To think outside of the box and make a recipe with ingredients that are given to us...

Crazy Ingredient Challenge ~ Strawberries and Mustard

Have you ever made something and it just didn't turn out the way you wanted it too?  That is what happened when I made my recipe for this month's Crazy Ingredient Challenge.

Crazy Ingredient Challenge ~ Holiday Mix

So, I wrote out my post for this challenge, got right to the bottom and the whole post disappeared.  Not to be found.  And it was a good post and I am not writing out everything again... So here I go with the post a second time tonight.

Crazy Ingredient Challenge ~ Gingerbread Spice and Onions

It is that time of the month... Crazy Ingredient Challenge.  If you haven't heard about this challenge we are given two ingredients to work with from Jutta of Hungry Little Girl and then on the 20th of the month we then show the world what recipe we made with these two ingredients.  Some of the past challenges were Broccoli and Pumpkin and Avocado and Caramel.  This is the fifth month and I have had so much fun with this challenge.  It makes me think outside of the box and cook or bake with ingredients I may have never thought of putting together.  If you would like to join our group there is a button at the bottom of this post that will take you to the page with the instructions and how to join.  Come and have fun with us... Bring on your creativity.

Crazy Ingredient Challenge ~ Broccoli and Pumpkin #crazyingredientchallenge

Chicken and Broccoli Pizza has to be my favorite type of pizza so when we got our ingredients for our Crazy Ingredient Challenge ~ Broccoli and Pizza, I just knew what I had to make.  Pizza!  I did some searching and found that I could just put the pumpkin puree into my pizza crust and that is what I did.  The verdict... YUM!  I decided to use turkey instead of chicken as I had some on hand... but it would be perfect with chicken too.

Crazy Ingredient Challenge ~ Tomatoes and Coconut #crazyingredientchallenge

This month has gone by like a flash.  It is a good thing that I did my CIC early or I would not be posting today.  What is CIC, you ask.  Each month we are given two ingredients and we need to come up with a recipe with these two ingredients.  We are given the ingredients on the first of the month and post on the 20th.  You can decide if you want to join each month, which is great.  There is a button at the bottom of the post that you can click to find out more information.
