Hey there my favorite fruits and veggies folks! I am sure you'll be surprised to see this post coming from me as opposed to our fantastic hostess @lenasveganliving. She's having a bit of an internet connectivity issue, so I am happy to fill in to keep the show going to announce this week's winners! Make sure to share around if you can to ensure everyone gets a chance to see. Our pal @puravidaville did a fantastic job filling in as guest judge again, so here's what she had to say:
Each week gets tougher and tougher to judge this contest. All of the contestants are whipping up some fantastic dishes making my job this week difficult. With some heavy concentration and a full belly I was able to enjoy each and every entry but then quickly had to run to my kitchen to tame the appetite beast ignited by all of the yumminess. 🤦♀️
I can totally agree girl! I also apologize that I am not quite sure how to put together a lovely collage like Lena, but I'll share a few of the winner's photos so you can see how yummy these dishes are!
