For more ways to use Track & Tag look here.  And don’t forget to let us know how your meals turn out – comment and rate the recipes you make so everyone else can enjoy the great recipes you find!

Last month we ran a cookbook give-away contest.  We gave some really great cookbooks away – check out the list and see who won.  And remember if you won send us your mailing address to receive your cookbook.

We’ve added some great new contributors this month:

Hi Foodie!

As the lazy days of summer quickly pass we’ve been busy here at Project Foodie putting together some great new things for you. 

First up is “On Our Plate” seasonal picks of scrumptious dishes for you to try out.  Each pick has notes including what's great about the dish, variations that can be tried, a wine to pair with the dish, and ideas on what to serve with the dish. In addition, we’re including a “Healthy Rating” for each “On Our Plate” choice to help you make smart choices on what you eat. I hope you'll find this an interesting and useful addition to the Project Foodie line-up. Note - as detailed below we’ve updated our terms of use to clarify that these Healthy Ratings are not medical advice. 

Next up Project Foodie will be hosting Leftover Tuesday’s during August.  This month the theme will be “Pantry Raid” – we invite all of you to go into your pantry - be it cold, dry or things grown in the live garden pantry and create a dish using those items.  Send me the recipe and a picture ( This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it ) and we’ll post it along with all the other entries.  We'll also randomly pick an entrant to receive a free cookbook.  Check out the Project Foodie blog later this week for details!

Finally, as I told you about last month, Project Foodie Recipe Track & Tag lets you easily keep track of recipes from your favorite cooking magazines.  We’re working on constantly improving and expanding Track & Tag to make it even better.  If you haven’t already, I encourage you to give it a try and once you have, let me know ( This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it ) what you think so it can be improved and made even better.
