Lucky Seven






so i've been getting vegetarian times for about 4 or 5 years now, and they always have recipe contests and other fun things to enter. come to think of it, i've had a subscription pretty much since i started cooking, and have never entered any of their contests. in this months magazine, there was an ad for the 2012 Lucky Seven Recipe Contest, where you can have no more than 7 ingredients excluding salt pepper oil and water, and have to use at least one of the sponsored ingredients/utensil/equipments. Well cats, this is what I came up with, its been a hot minute since of done up some pedestrian fair. Try it out and give me some feedback! xoxo
