Hello my Fruits and Veggies Beauties,

This time I am little bit earlier, because tomorrow I have to choose winners for Culinary Challenge hosted by our fabulous @woman-onthe-wing who also..............I can’t say. You have to keep reading lol. 

Now before we get to the WINNERS ANNOUNCEMENT that you are so anxiously waiting for, I must thank you all for joining the FRUITS AND VEGGIES MONDAY Competition and doing such a great job. 

I am impressed every week more and more by your wonderful entries. Some of you really put time and effort in the presentation, details, information and even wonderful vegan recipes, which is truly a bonus. I just wish I could increase the prizes..............hopefully I will be able to do that soon. 

And now! HUGE THANKS going to our HONORABLE GUEST JUDGE, the multitalented @creativewoman, who did a fabulous job choosing the winners. BIG APPLAUSE PLEASE!!! 

Also HUGE THANKS and BIG APPLAUSE to our generous weekly sponsor @progressivechef 🍇🍍💚🍓🍉

The second marvelous lady and artist who deserve a BIG APPLAUSE is @barbara-orenya, who not only created our BANNER, but she also asked her Wonkies to help me deliver the PRIZES. They are excited to do that, so please BIG APPLAUSE to the cutest helpers from Wonkie land!!!

3rd PRIZE 1.00 SBD
To @stanhopeofficial by our HONORABLE JUDGE @creativewoman

This post made me wanna go back to my country (Morocco) and enjoy the amazing array of fruits we have there and which is also available at a reasonable price! Looking at @stanhopeofficial post made me think of the imported bananas and mangoes from Costa Rica I used to enjoyed before! https://steemit.com/fruitsandveggiesmonday/@stanhopeofficial/living-raw
