Power of Pink Roundup!

First of all, I’d like to thank everyone for participating in the 3rd Annual Power of Pink! I really appreciate your help in spreading the word about Breast Cancer Awareness. I know breast cancer has touched many of our lives. I’m hoping that this challenge has helped to raise awareness about this disease.

On a similar note, I wanted to let everyone know that I have signed up to do the Avon Walk again in 2011. I have two friends who are doing the walk with me and would love for anyone else who is interested to join our team. More details will follow, but we’ll be walking in New York City the weekend of October 15-16, 2011.

Now back to the pink food. Here are the entries I received from across the blogosphere.

Jasmine from Miss Strawberry Cake made Chocolate Cookies with Pink M&Ms

Kris from Everywhere Orange made Penne a la Vodka

Danielle from The Growing Foodie made Sassy Sweet – Raspberry Chocolate-Chip Ice Cream

Kate from Kate’s Recipe Box made a Cotton Candy Cocktail

Dunne’ from With a Cherry on Top made Homemade Oreos

Stefany from Proceed with Caution made Cranberry Orange Cheesecake Bites

Aimee from Acorns and Apples made Strawberry Cool Whip Cookies

kokomama from My Adventures in Food made Pink Bagels

Kelly from Confessions of a Kitchen Failure made Pink Sugar Cookies

Debbie from The Friday Friends made Fruit Pizza

Naomi from Baker’s Royale made Pink Chocolate Filled Kisses

And last, I challenged myself to make food that was naturally pink. First I made some Roasted Beet Hummus.

I also made some White Chocolate Cranberry Mousse.

Then I used that mousse in my White Chocolate Cranberry Cupcakes.

Thanks again to everyone who participated in the challenge!

For the giveaway, I did it the old fashioned way. I wrote down everyone’s name and had Hubby choose one out of a hat. The lucky winner is Aimee from Acorns and Apples!!

Please email me your mailing address so I can get your prize shipped out to you!

    My last huge successful meal is the crown roast from Bon Apetite magazine. I almost canceled making it when I found out how much it cost, but ended up making it anyway. I’m glad I did, everybody loved it!

    My last hugely successful meal was sundried tomato and artichoke stuffed chicken breasts for 60you people! I have never cooked for that many people at once but with the help of my Mom we pulled it off! 🙂

    I’d have to say my Christmas Eve meal. Yummy pork tenderloin, baked cauliflower and my grandma’s spinach that was all on the table within 20 minutes of my planned dinner time. I’d call that a success!

    The last hugely successful meal I executed was actually a cookie swap party. I asked people who RSVP’d to bring only a dozen cookies. Everyone brought so much more and brought snacks, too. I was so worried there wouldn’t be enough, I made too much just in case. Instead I had to have one guest make sure no one left without a good supply. And we helped each other set up trays for relatives in nursing homes, nursing home staff.

    The spirit of the holidays was incredible and brought a bunch of strangers so much closer. (We’re all snowbirds in a campground in Mississippi)

    I made slow roasted pork chops with apples and onions, scalloped potatoes and I baked Italian bread. So simple yet delicious!

    I am a vegetarian, but I made Christmas dinner for our family and successfully made the ham. Everyone loved it, thank goodness! 🙂
