Livin' La Vida Shirataki Recipe Contest

Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention please for an important announcement:

NOW ACCEPTING LOW-CARB SHIRATAKI RECIPES!!!

That's right, it's time to show off your cooking talents with the entire world in the

LIVIN' LA VIDA SHIRATAKI RECIPE CONTEST!!!!

Ever since I first blogged about these amazing noodles, people have been raving about them as the hottest low-carb food in 2006. It seems everyone is clamoring to get their hands on shirataki and I've got just the thing to help stock you up on them for a very long time.

Put on your creative cooking thinking caps and come up with the best low-carb shirataki recipe.

HERE ARE THE CONTEST RULES:

1. The recipe MUST include Konjac brand shirataki noodles ONLY or be adaptable for use with Konjac shirataki. I asked House Foods to be a part of the contest, but they declined to respond. Therefore I cannot accept recipes that include House Foods products.

2. The recipe MUST be 12g carbs or less to be considered "low-carb."

3. The recipe MUST be your original creation through trial and error in the kitchen.

4. There is no limit to the number of recipes you can submit. However, you can only win ONE prize in the contest.

5. Recipes will be accepted beginning April 1, 2006 through April 22, 2006. The field of recipes will be narrowed down to the top five entries and the readers of the "Livin' La Vida Low-Carb" blog will choose their favorite recipes during the first week in May 2006. The voting will begin May 5, 2006 and end on May 11, 2006. Winners will be chosen and announced on May 12, 2006.

6. Recipes will be judged on creativity, originality, taste, presentation, and overall appeal.

7. Recipes MUST include a recipe title, an ingredients list, and clear instructions about how to make it. Photographs of the finished product are recommended, but not required. By entering the contest, you give the "Livin' La Vida Low-Carb" blog the right to post your recipe online with your name, city/state, and recipe details.

8. The recipe chosen as the GRAND PRIZE WINNER in the contest will win a FREE 90-day supply of Konjac shirataki noodles (90 bags) compliments of Konjac Foods. There will also be THREE runner-up prizes of a FREE one-week supply of Konjac shirataki noodles (7 bags each).

9. To submit your recipe, e-mail it in the body of an e-mail along with your name, city/state, and e-mail address to me at livinlowcarbman@charter.net. In the subject field write "SHIRATAKI RECIPE CONTEST ENTRY."

10. Have fun! Livin' la vida low-carb is an amazing lifestyle and it's time to show the rest of the world just how talented low-carbers really are when it comes to cooking. It's shirataki, so let it all hang out! :)
