In November I submitted a recipe to a contest in Everyday Food’s by Martha Stewart. They invited readers to send in guy-friendly recipes for a chance to win a copy of Lucinda Scala Quinn’s awesome new cookbook, Mad Hungry.

I decided to submit my Black Bean, Corn, and Chicken Chili because it is a very guy friendly meal and K loves it. After submitting the recipe the holidays came and I completely forgot that I had entered. About a week ago I got an e-mail from Everyday Food’s telling me that I was one of the winners! I was completely ecstatic.

So yesterday when I came home I found a package from Martha Stewart. Inside was a signed copy of Lucinda Scala Quinn’s cookbook and a letter telling me that they would like to publish the recipe in the “From Your Kitchen” section in a future issue! I literally squealed. Then screamed. Then squealed again. I don’t know what issue it will be featured in, but I am looking forward to seeing it.
