Challenge 3: The letter 'C'

Please vote for your favourite ingredient that starts with the letter 'C'! The ingredient with the most votes will star in the weekend cookup.

Voting closes every Friday, 5pm EST.

This week's list of challenge ingredients is as follows:

* Chocolate
* Cauliflower
* Chokoes (we have an over-productive vine out the back of our house!)
* Cinnamon

In the interest of fairness, try and keep it to one vote per person. (This means - recruit listeners for us and voters for you!!) You may split your vote by giving .5 to an ingredient and the rest to another. This is great for the indecisive among you - I know I am! However, you can't split to quarters or thirds. My brain will reduce to the consistency of agave nectar.

Challenge 2 now closed: Blueberries wins!

Thanks to everyone who voted! Challenge two is now closed and blueberries were the clear winner. Apparently you guys are nuts over those little anti-oxidant rich orbs of delight.

We're going to make you a scrumptious dessert with blueberries which should go up tomorrow. Until then, you can prick your brains with some uber-facts about blueberries from World's Healthiest Foods.

"With flavors that range from mildly sweet to tart and tangy, blueberries are nutritional stars bursting with nutrition and flavor while being very low in calories..."
