Join us for our “Plant Based Culinary Club Challenge”! Keep reading for all the fun details and information you need to WIN!


Last month, we re-launched our Plant Based Culinary Club Challenge as a way to connect with our readers in a different way and also give back to you and our community. It was so much fun seeing all your posts last month!
The Culinary Club Challenge is designed to be a super simple, but fun way for us to join together readers from all over the world with one simple task – make the “recipe of the month”.
Andrew and I will choose a recipe, you will make it, and then leave a comment on the blog post. After the month is over, we’ll randomly select a winner and they (Hopefully you!) will win a prize.
This month we’re going to do our Saucy Thai Noodles.

Here’s how it’ll work:
Join us for an epic challenge!
On the first Thursday of every month we’ll announce the Recipe of the Month. Sign up for our newsletter, so you’re the first to know moving forward.
Gather your ingredients and make the recipe each month!
By February 28th at 11:59pm EST, go to the Saucy Thai Noodles that you made and leave a comment. (NOT ON THIS POST!)
For a bonus entry, email us at [email protected] and share a photo of what you made.
Bonus entry #2 – post your photo creation on your Instagram (must be public) and tag @makeitdairyfree and/or @thenarddogcooks with the hashtag #PBCCC
All entries are 1 point.
The Prize:
A $100 Giftcard to the Grocery Store
Yes, you read that right! There’s a chance for you to earn actual money.
At the end of the month, we’ll randomly choose one winner and you’ll be able to tell us which grocery store that you’d like a digital giftcard too. *Note: it must be a grocery store that has the option for a digital giftcard to be sent.
We’ll also be donating $1 for every entry we have to Cathedral Kitchen.


This recipe is ready in 30 minutes, loaded with veggies (that are versatile I might add) all while being delicious and helping explore new tastes and creativity in the kitchen.
Switch it up: Feel free to try other ingredients in place of the tofu if you can’t have them – cauliflower, mushrooms and/pr chickpeas are great options!
Here’s how to enter:
1. Gather your ingredients and make our Saucy Thai Noodles

Last Month’s Recipe
Last month, we made our vegan chickpea curry. We were so excited to have 165 entries! We already made our donation to Cathedral Kitchen for $165! Thank you to everyone who participated!
We loved seeing the variations that you all did like adding in extra vegetables or swapping the chickpeas for tofu or potatoes.
Here are some of your photos:




And congrats to our winner, Liz!!
