I'm proud to announce my first ever blogging event, and it's something close to my breast, I mean heart.
To coincide with Pink Ribbon Day in Australia on October 22, I am inviting people to make a pink dish and post it (or email me photo, recipe and story) by 15 October.
To enter;
- you must make a dish that is either pink or uses a pink ingredient (I will accept red) eg guava, pink grapefruit, pink salmon etc etc
- your post must include the recipe
- optional - a story of how breast cancer has affected you or why supporting breast cancer research is important to you
- post it on your blog by 15 October.
Once you have posted your entry email me at minhnieme@gmail.com with the following details;
- Your Name
- Your Blog
- Title of post/recipe
- URL to post
- photo
I will do a round up of all entries on 16 October. You will then be able to vote for your favourite entry (will be a poll). The 3 most popular entries will be announced on Pink Ribbon Day on 22 October and win the Pink Pack pictured below.
(Pink Pack includes a Fashion Targets Breast Cancer Singlet, Pink Wish Tim Tams, Pink Wish Kit Kats and a current magazine with Pink Ribbon baking recipes. A percentage from the sale of these items are donated to Breast Cancer Research so you can feel good about winning a Pink Pack)
I will be posting some Pink Ribbon recipes as well.

Great idea for your first blogging event - Pink for October.
But, as a breast cancer survivor myself, I have to say something about all those pink candy bars on your website : most mass-produced candy contains perservatives and additives that any cancer patient would be best to avoid. Even if they slap a pink lable on it.
For a sweet tooth, the best choice is always fruit - or something made from Organic Cane Sugar.
I switched to an organic diet after my diagnosis in 2005...and I am glad I did. No, I did not give up sweets - health food stores always have delicious cookies and cakes made from cane sugar. And of course, the best sweet is anything made from scratch using natural ingredients.

This is fantastic...what a fun idea. I am walking the 3 Day 60 Mile Koman walk in CA and so glad to see this post.
Keep up the great support and we WILL find a cure.
What a wonderful idea and for such a good cause! You can be assured that my kitchen will be pink the next few weeks! I'll be sure to let my blog readers know about this contest as well!
Mommy to four j's - believe it or not I couldn't cook over a year ago. If I can bake - you can bake.

What a great idea!! I've got a Breast Cancer blog that you should check out. Also, my friend is going to be making some special Breast Cancer cupcakes...they are going to be posted on my blog by October 5th. I'll send you the link when I get the pictures in.
I was wondering if I could possibly name drop your blog on my blog because you've got some really great information on different breast cancers sites? My blog is www.bca2007.blogspot.com and I'd love to be able to recommend your blog to others.
Thanks!
