Hello My Dearest Foodies,

Here I am with the FRUITS AND VEGGIES MONDAY PRIZES chosen by our fabulous HONORABLE GUEST JUDGE @jasmink. But first, let's see what our judge has to say about her experience:

"Being a guest judge for the Fruits and Veggies Monday for the first time was such a fun and exciting experience. I often miss a few entries, but this time I really took the time to go into all of your posts, and I must say, this family is so talented. You make the judging really challenging! However, even if this is a contest, I’m pretty sure most of us aren’t here only for that reason. We just love to share the food because we love and support each other!"

This lady did an outstanding job, so lets give her a big STANDING OVATION and also to all the WINNERS and our FRUITS & VEGGIES FAMILY! Great job everyone! Thank you and see you next week!

Big thanks to everyone for their contribution! @barbara-orenya, the wonderful artist and creator of the lovely wonkies and our HONORABLE SPONSORS @progressivechef, @donkeypong 🍒 🍌🍑🍍🍓

BONUSES 1.00 SBD EACH

To @plantstoplanks for BUTTER BEAN BURGER & KOHLRABI SLAW
“We just must appreciate your veggie hauls, and everything that comes out of those, right? I love a good veggie burger (who doesn’t?) and I’m sure these green creations are delish! Served with that kohlrabi slaw, and a tasty complete meal is created!”

To @biglipsmama for VEGETABLE GOLUBTSY (STUFFED CABBAGE ROLLS)

To @buckaroo for PROBIOTIC POWER – BEET KVASS TO REBOOT YOUR DAY
