It's time! Carrie chose Raw for Dessert, so this contest will be for either Raw Food Made Easy for 1 or 2 People (the book) or Raw Food Made Easy (the DVD). For a little more info about either of these, see this post.

To enter, all you have to do is add a comment to this post telling me what your favorite raw vetgetable is. That's it. The contest will close on October 20th. And yes, it's open to international readers.

In case you're new to this blog, let me remind you about Food Network Fridays! The idea is to veganize a recipe from the Food Network. For our next wrap-up, October 16th, we are doing a recipe suggested by Kelvia over at the PPK. To play along, all you have to do is veganize the dish however you wish. It's wide-open for your creativity and substitutions. Post your dish on your blog, or email me with the info if you're not a blogger. Be sure to make a comment on the post here on the 16th so we can see what you did. The recipe Kelvia chose is Yucatan Chicken Skewers with Peanut Red-Chile BBQ Sauce and Red Cabbage Slaw, originally from Bobby Flay. Two of us have already made our versions of this and both loved it. If you've been on the bubble about joining, this one seems like a sure win.

Now, just so I don't leave you foodless, check out this potato tomato tart thing. It's probably one of the uglier things I've made...but let me tell you, it tasted so great that looks didn't matter! Farm market fingerlings, our own heirloom tomatoes and basil...all cooked in a big cast iron skillet. Yum!

This is my 8th VeganMoFo post....almost 1/2 way there! I didn't forget the restaurant throw down. It's still to come. If you're doing MoFo, hope you're still going strong, too!
