Welcoming Spring

Hello,

Thanks for tuning in!  Today I am posting two winners from the March charm collection.  You are also welcome to start posting foods for April.  I am looking for foods related to Spring, and Easter.  Some ideas are candy,  like Cadbury Eggs etc... , foods you enjoy to welcome spring, what you like to eat for Easter dinner perhaps, or even dishes to use up all those hard boiled eggs :)  I really enjoy reading all your suggestions,  and hope you continue to play with me.  P.S.  I am not going to forget about those Asian Noodle dishes.  I want to eventually make a collection for those as well,  and when I do..  If any of them become charms, I will post them on the blog, giving credit to you, and I will ship the charm you inspired to you as a thank you gift.  :)

The Italian Collection (so far) :)

The spaghetti with meatballs was suggested by SweetnessChrissy  

I just couldn't have an Italian Collection without spaghetti with meatballs!

This fun charm does does contain (real food) dried and finely chopped parsley.  The sauce also contains just a touch of pepper.

This dish is roughly the size of a dime in diameter

This Cheesy Lasagna was suggested by Bookfreak

I absolutely love lasagna!!!  This lasagna has three layers of noodles, and two layers of ground meats and cheeses. 

I certainly hope I did this one justice!  It was a lot of work but fun!  This charm also contains chopped parsley and finely ground pepper. 

It is smaller than a dime, but the right proportions to the other charms.

This Fettucini Alfredo is incredibly realistic looking.  as you can see, there is dried and finely chopped parsley in this charm too.

I love the way this little charm came out. He is also roughly the diameter of a dime. 

Here is the Cannoli,  it was suggested by Jenna.

It contains a creamy filling with chocolate chips, and is drizzled with chocolate.

She has a great blog that focuses on giveaways.

I am contacting the winners today by email,  if you won, and didn't receive an email please feel free to email me at sweetandsavorytrinkets@yahoo.com

April's Theme:  Easter!  I am looking for any food/candy suggestions that go along with Easter, and Spring.  Perhaps you have a favorite candy, have wonderful dishes for using up those hard boiled eggs, or want to suggest your Easter dinner. 

For those of you that are new to the contest, you make food suggestions, that fit in with the given theme.  I will pick at least one of them for the charm of the month club, and inventory in my store.  The prize is the charm you inspired.   For example:  Jenna suggested cannoli for March's theme, since I chose cannoli as part of my March collection, she will be receiving a bitty cannoli in the mail soon.

To enter you make food suggestions in the comment section of the blog.

The Rules:

1:  You can only make one suggestion per day, that allows you multiple entries but many can play :)

2: Read through the suggestions to make sure you aren't duplicating any suggestions already made.

Happy Valentines Day!!

Hello everyone!

First I really want to thank you all for the wonderful suggestions!!! I have really enjoyed looking at the links you have provided, and searching for images of your food suggestions.  Today I will announce one winner for March, and show you March's first charm.  There will be at least one more winner for March, so make sure to check back next Monday.  Today is the last day to make suggestions for March's theme,  and you can also start marking suggestions today for April's theme, which will be announced towards the end of the blog.

 The first winner of the Italian themed charms, is Jenna Wood.  I must admit I hadn't even considered cannoli, and when I saw her suggestion, I knew I had to make some!  The local pizza shop I frequent "Pedones", has amazing cannoli,  the creamy filling is light, and almost fluffy, and the tiny chocolate chips melt in your mouth despite being cold.  I don't know how they do it.  My pizza place doesn't add the chocolate drizzle, but I just couldn't resist.

Thank you for the wonderful suggestion Jenna!

There is still time to make last minute suggestions for March's Italian theme!  I will start on the rest of the charms tomorrow. The other winner or winners as the case may be will be announced next Monday!

April's Theme:  Easter!  I am looking for any food/candy suggestions that go along with Easter.  Perhaps you have a favorite candy, have wonderful dishes for using up those hard boiled eggs, or want to suggest your Easter dinner.
