We Have a Winner!
Well, actually we're all winners because we got to "sample" so many great entries in this year's Vegetable Love competition. With so many delicious looking dishes, I knew I'd never be able to pick just one, so I let you do it for me. 415 people voted, and every entry received multiple votes. In the end, only four votes separated the top two, but Vegan Molten Chocolate Cakes by Ricki at Diet, Dessert and Dogs was the victor with 14% of the votes. Congratulations, Ricki! Please send me your mailing address, so that I can put your copy of Vegan Express in the mail.
Congratulations also go to our runners up, LaMana's Curry Chickpea Crepes, with 13% of the votes, and Lindsey's Raw Vegan Carrot Cake with Cashew Cheeze Frosting and Caramel Sauce, with 11%. Next year I will have to plan for more prizes!
140 readers left comments and sent emails in hopes of winning the random drawing for their own copy of Vegan Express. With so many names to draw from, I've stopped wasting paper and printer ink putting names in a hat and have started using a more eco-friendly way to pick a winner. I asked the random time generator at Random.org to give me a time between 00:00 and 23:59 and it spit out:
...which translates into 8:14 pm, the exact time that Michelle left her comment. Michelle, since I have no way to contact you, it's up to you to write and let me know your mailing address. My email address is in the left sidebar.
Thanks to everyone who participated in this year's contest. I hope your Valentine's Day is filled with love and good food.

Congrats Ricki and Michelle! I can't believe the margin was razor thin; I voted for the Chickpea Crepes myself :) Thanks for running the contest, Susan!
congratulations to Ricki for her much-deserved win!! great contest!!
Congratulations to the winners! Since I just baked a chocolate cake,I'll have to try the chickpea crepes next!
Wow--I am blown away and totally THRILLED!! Really, I never win contests, so this really made my week (I actually just found out via a comment on my blog from VeggieGirl, so thanks as well to her!)
I'm not surprised the vote was so close (does that make me the George W. Bush of the blogging world?) because all the recipes were truly mouth-watering. I must admit that I myself voted for Lindsey's Raw Carrot Cake, which is next on my list of "must try" recipes.
What a fabulous event, Susan. Thanks again for putting it on. (And I'll send you my address. Can't wait--whoo hoo!).
Congratulations!!! Amazing recipe!! :)
re: picking a winner at random
I went through the "paper slip" in a hat bit awhile back, when selecting winners for the "Mad Cowboy" Vegan Mind-Poser contest, and realized it was much simpler to use a spreadsheet or calculator with a "random(x)" function (where "random" might be RND, depending upon spreadsheet, and "x" is the total number).
Hope that helps!
FYI, Mark
First time I vote for the winner ! Maybe because it's in a vegan context...
YAYYYYYYYY! How happy! Congrats ti Ricki and Michelle, and thank you Susan! Another fun contest from the FFV, *highfive*
I'm sorry I missed the contest this year, but it looks like it went to a deserving winner!
Great contest Susan! Thanks for hosting! And congratulations to the winners! The deserts look especially tasty. :)
well done to the winners! some great recipes there! :D
Hi Susan,
I am very excited about winning the random drawing. Just wanted to let you know that I emailed you my mailing address.
Congratulations to the winner of the recipe contest!
Michele
Congratulations Ricki, I can't wait to try that cake!
Thanks for having this contest Susan. I am already thinking of something for next valentines day :-)
This was a fabulous event!! Congrats Ricki on a great recipe!
and thanks for hosting Susan!:)
I"m really confused, wasn't this contest about vegetables?
Yes, all of the recipes contained vegetables. The winning cake contained spinach and zucchini!
