April is my absolute most favorite month of the year. Why? Because it’s my birthday month. Yes, I’m one of those annoying people who get incredibly excited about their own birthday and talk about it for weeks and weeks. I just love my birthday.
I’ve been doing these challenges for three months now, and each month there has been a bit of a theme (well, except for the first month, but I’ll be thinking of that month as the “test run”). I decided that for this month, my favorite month, the theme would be “Favorites“.
For the April Food Challenge on That Wife, you just have to make your favorite dish, take a picture, and then come back over here and share the recipe with all of us!
I’m not sure what I will make yet, but it just might be this black bean burger I made one night last year.
Criteria For This Month:
1. Make your favorite dish (dessert, main dish, side dish, baking, cooking, whatever!)
2. You must share a recipe
3. You must take and share a picture
I’ve decided I’m going to stop accepting food challenge submissions that don’t have a picture. I’m such a picture person, I want to know what your creation looks like!
To sign up all you have to do is comment below. Remember, you have to sign up for each challenge separately by commenting on the appropriate post. I will add you to a weekly reminder email list, which will help you remember to participate (I would forget if someone wasn’t emailing me!). The last week of the month I ask that you email me your photo and recipe to share with everyone else.

Sign me up! Hopefully this month I will get my butt in gear and actually send you the information after I do it! I totally made a salad (Pear & Walnut) last month, and then never got around to sending you the picture!

Speaking of April, it is a fantastic month. In fact, yesterday marked the start of my 2nd Annual Birthday Fortnight. Last year, I even changed my blog header to include Birthday Balloons. (I’ll probably do it again, I just haven’t gotten to it yet.) So hooray for shameless promoting of one’s own birthday and convincing others that it really ought to last at least 2 weeks!
Also? I’m in on this challenge.

I second the request for the black bean burger recipe. I’ve been trying to make more things like that. My husband loves the lentil burgers I’ve made, but I haven’t figured out a recipe that I really liked yet.
And I am in.

I’m in too. My camera has made it out of its box and I’m going to learn to put it on my computer before the end of the month! I did make Taco Salad last month and it was awesome.

[...] in the day when April seemed as long as March, I entered That Wife’s Food Challenge. It is, theoretically, an easy one. Just make your favorite recipe. From the start I was uncertain. [...]
