My Dearest Foodies,
In addition to our Winners Announcement I have an additional, EXTRA SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT to make for the next week MONDAY FRUITS AND VEGGIES CONTEST!!!
Yesterday, I received an amazing PRIZE offer from our dear @barbara-orenya, the marvelous artist and creator of our sweet Wonkie helpers. This PRIZE is an original drawing of the most delightful BLUE TURKEY to spread love and kindness on THANKSGIVING, which is on November 23rd in the U.S.A.
BIG APPLAUSE FOR @barbara-orenya for this amazing contest idea, generosity and kind heart.
She also created our BANNER, and asked her Wonkies to help me deliver the PRIZES. They are excited to do that! Please give a BIG APPLAUSE to the cutest helpers from Wonkiland!!!
This means that the next week we are going to have an additional contest and that is BEST VEGAN RECIPE for THANKSGIVING. It can be a dessert, main meal or salad, the choice is yours, as long as it’s festive and PLANT BASED!!! The winners of this contest will be chosen by me personally with an assistance of my dear friend and wonderful lady @dswigle, especially famous for her popular MARKET FRIDAY CHALLENGE. For those of you who will join this challenge, please use these tags for your entries: #blueturkey #fruitsandveggiesmonday #vegan #thanksgiving and with the title, BLUE TURKEY CONTEST. I will create another separate post with all details tomorrow.
For details about the drawing, please follow this link: @barbara-orenya/blueturkey-celebrates-life-win-an-original-illustration-from-barbara-orenya
However, not everybody has to join the BLUE TURKEY CONTEST, because our traditional FRUITS AND VEGGIES MONDAY CONTEST will go on as usual and the HONORABLE GUEST JUDGE will be looking after that. Also, you can join with two entries, one for each contest.
And now back to our WINNERS ANNOUNCEMENT, thank you so much for all of your outstanding entries!!! Your participation never ceases to impress me and I am extremely grateful for having such a wonderful group of devoted fruits and veggies lovers.
This week OUR HONORABLE JUDGE @cretaivewoman took the role for a second time, since she holds two 1st PRIZES. She deserves the title CREATIVE WOMAN without a doubt. STANDING OVATIONS FOR THIS MARVELLOUS LADY PLEASE!!!
As always we must give big thanks to our generous weekly sponsors @progressivechef and @woman-onthe-wing. Without them, the prizes would not exist. BIG APPLAUSE TO OUR DEAR SPONSORS!!!
Thank you so much, we are extremely grateful!!!

SPECIAL BONUS by @lenasveganliving
To @tali72
I just couldn’t help it to add one extra BONUS PRIZE for this wonderful entry.
This beauty is one of the flowers I was not able to photograph yet, because they are not common in Canada. In addition to that, I love to see the process of an amazing paradise fruit growing from one of the most fascinating flowers in the world. Thank you so much Tali, you deserve a bonus for capturing it and sharing it with us. Congratulations!!! @tali72/fruit-and-veggies-monday-passion-fruit
THANK YOU FOR VISITING AND I LOOK FORWARD YOUR MONDAY ENTRIES 🍇🍍💚🍓🍉
