Allergy Free Recipe Challenge

Are you up for a challenge? A fun challenge? A creative challenge? A free challenge?

Christmas is nearing, and soon we will be inundated with all sorts of delicious recipes for the festive season.  What does this have to do with my challenge, you ask? Well, I have been working on a gluten-free Christmas recipe E-book for a while now, and it’s ready. WooHoo! I’ve written my very first recipe book! (sorry, I’m rather excited, in case you couldn’t tell!)

I had a few ideas of how to publicize my recipe book, and then thought that perhaps this approach would be more fun.  On most blogs or websites, there are competitions where you can win  freebies. Those are really great, I do agree.  I do not however, have any sponsors on my blog, and I’m really new to all of this, so rather than waiting until the day that I do become famous (did I just say that out loud?!), I decided to go ahead and try out my idea.

I’ve created a 7 Ingredient Recipe Challenge.

The challenge is for you to create a recipe on your own blog, and then re-blog it to my site. The prize? Just the satisfaction of creating a new, fun recipe; having your recipe featured on my blog, and the blog-sphere, and a free E-book! That’s correct, I will give a free copy of my E-book to all who take part in my challenge (see rules below). Who doesn’t like free stuff??! The recipes are all lekker, or so I’ve been told!
