    Lina…this looks like such a fun idea. I don’t think I can participate though as I am the middle of a kitchen remodel so no cooking happening for the next few weeks:( Hope to come back to join something new in my sparkly new kitchen soon.

    I’d be willing to participate. Pick an ingredient, and I’ll do my best to impress the friend who stepped up several extra miles when I broke my ankle last fall. (She is allergic/has severely bad reactions to coconut and tree nuts,and to raw tomatoes, and so I’ll never cook anything with those items for her.)

    Lina! I’m late to wishing your blog a happy first blogiversary! I can’t remember when I first started following your blog, but it’s been a while!!
    I’m debating between this challenge and the surprise challenge (though both are quite a surprise), and now I think I’ve settled on this one as I love the idea of being creative with vegetables!

    If I were talking to you, in person, I would say chocolate cake with one extra ingredient of mayonnaise, coke or applesauce are three unique ways to change the taste and texture of chocolate cake. 🙂 Happy challenge to your cooking friends!! ❤
