Recipe Contest

I started receiving recipes. Thank you all for your lovely creations. I can't wait to start trying them on Monday. Some of you have emailed about ingredients not listed.

Yes, I can get

• peanut butter
• vinegar (white and balsamic)
• soy sauce (but it's soy based so I really shouldn't use it---note allergies)
• an assortment of lentils...but not so much beans (I only know of one kind and I'm not a big fan)

I'm not sure I can get...

• couscous
• chili powder ( I can make but not sure if they sell it in powder form)
• cayenne pepper
• avocado

but I will look and see. Still exploring the markets.

I can't use any form of alcohol.

If it's not on the list, please don't assume I can get it. Please ask. It might be that I just haven't come across it or it's way too expensive. I also must confess that I'm not a seasoned chef. Please don't assume I know things. Proportions are very helpful and measurements when possible are appreciated.

Thanks for your hard work and keep those recipes coming. I'll update this post with any changes depending on what I can find.
