I had participated in the January Joust and the 3 ingredients with which I had to create an original recipe, chosen by the previous winners were Mushroom, Orange and Wine or Sparkling Grape Juice<\/strong><\/em>. As soon as I read about the ingredients, I had the urge to participate in this joust, though I wasn’t quite sure about the recipe I would come up with these ingredients. I only cared about being a part of this contest and to have some fun with these ingredients in my kitchen. I entered my kitchen with a blank mind and before I knew I combined these three ingredients with the Mussel, found in my freezer and in no time the dish was ready on the dining table. I had a lot of fun making this dish and didn’t expect this would turn out to be a winner.<\/p>\n Here is my recipe that won: Mussel Mushroom in Sparkling Red Grape juice.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n My heart felt Thanks<\/em><\/strong> to all the fellow bloggers who voted for my recipe, Foodie BlogRoll, Leftover Queen and all the other participants who inspired me to participate in this contest.<\/p>\n I can’t wait to receive the award which is an awesome Royal Foodie Joust Apron<\/em><\/strong>. The 3 ingredients that I had chosen for the next month’s Joust are Fish, Nutmeg and Coconut Milk<\/strong><\/em>. Honestly, I had a hard time choosing the ingredients than coming up with an original recipe:) Hoping to participate in many more Jousts\u00a0 in the future.<\/p>\n Thanks to all my friends and family who constantly support me and encourage me, I am fortunate to have such friends and a great family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I had participated in the January Joust and the 3 ingredients with which I had to create an original recipe, chosen by the previous winners were Mushroom, Orange and Wine or Sparkling Grape Juice.
