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!
I prefer chewy cookies over crispy too! I bet the toasted pecans added some great flavor and crunch!
These look perfectly awesome! I like chewy cookies so much more, too! 🙂
Sues
YUM! These sound DELICIOUS! They are (another) recipe of yours Im adding to my list!
chewy is definitely the way to go 🙂 this is a great combo!
OMG. I made these about two months ago and loved them so much, but didn’t have toffee. So I want to make them again but it took me an hour to find you site again since I couldn’t remember where I found it. Luckily your story about not knowing you husbands favorite cookie stuck in my head so I just kept looking. (It was the term “unsweetened” in front of coconut that finally found it for me)
Here I go to test the recipe in its fullness!
