Contest: Show Your Meal. Win a Le Creuset Pan and a $150 Gift Certificate.
UPDATE: This contest is closed. Visit the 30 Day Challenge Contest Page to find out which contests are still open, and to view winners.
The Prize:
CSN Stores is offering up a $150 Gift Certificate for Corelle dishware or whatever else you’d like from any of their 200 websites. So, yes, you could technically use this gift certificate to buy something weird like a glow-in-the-dark reindeer Christmas decoration, but I’d suggest sticking with Primal fare like the dishes, cutlery, a barbecue grill, or a Crock Pot from Cookware.com.
But that’s just the half of it. Beyond Pots and Pans is offering up a cherry red Le Creuset Square Skillet Grill Pan for the winner of today’s contest. I’ve featured Le Creuset on MDA before. It’s the stuff I use – the good stuff. As a bonus, for the rest of the month MDA customers can get a 10% discount from BeyondPotsandPans.com by using the promo code “MDA” when ordering.
The Contest:
Send me a picture of your meal. Tonight. Are you eating tonight? Take a pic of that meal. Email it to me. It’s that simple. You’ve only got a day to do this, no time to over think it. Make it as Primal as you can. Snap a photo. Send it in. And make sure the subject line of your email reads “Meal Submission” or it won’t count. Let’s see what everyone out there is eating!
The Deadline:
September 10, 10:00 a.m. PST. Only 24 hours, the clock is ticking!
Who is Eligible:
Anyone in the world with a camera and a meal.
How a Winner is Chosen:
A random drawing will be held among all entrants who submit adequate photos. Check back on Sunday to see all the submissions!

Perfect. I have a roast from my 100% grass fed cow in the crockpot right now!!!!
ditto!
That skillet is beautiful! I’m pretty sure that I need it.
I just ate my veggie/egg scramble…darn
Keema, coming up!
What do you think of Shakeology by Beachbody?
Is it ok to drink while going primal?
If you’re eating out and eating primal, will that still count??
Absolutely!
I could take a pic of my BAS I’ll be making out of my CSA veggies… as there probably won’t be an evening meal.
wahoo! I actually entered a contest! One of my coworkers was looking at my BAS getting “artfully” arranged so I told I was making “photo food”
Dang it was yummy! Avos on sale today & Kerrygold cheddar was 2 bucks off. I am full…
Ohhhh man I need that skillet! I hope I win!
I am not eating tonight. I can take a pic of my lunch. Do cell phone pics count?
As long as we can see what you’re eating.
FYI, the email address that is linked is spelled incorrectly
Thanks, Chuck P. Fixed.
CSA pickup is Wednesdays, so Thursdays are always BAS night! Tonight is southwest shrimp and avocado salad with cilantro viniagrette. Hope it looks as good as it tastes
Awesome… I love Le Creuset cookware and an extra $150 to boot would be sweet. Meal photo incoming soon.
Chuck P is right, the link doesn’t work
anyway just submitted my omelet
Will you accept multiple pics of different meals or just one?
Ah, pastured pork with rosemary braised in a little homemade chicken broth and red cabbage/apples/onions pan-fried in bacon fat tonight – I’ll send you a pic as soon as it’s done!
OMG that sounds fabulous! Can I come to your house for dinner tonight?
amazing that is what we had last night at home.
except the pork tenderloin was slow cooked in a hatch pepper sauce, and also served with cabbage and apples fried in pork fat.
I though how pretty, I should take a picture….darn I didn’t!
I made apples/onions/cabbage in bacon grease tonight too! Green cabbage though. And I foraged the apples from an abandoned urban tree. Go me! With the bacon as an appetizer, though sometimes I put the bacon in with the rest. It’s one of my favorite breakfasts.
You have got to share that recipe honey!! Thanks in advance ;0).
Mark, what’s your point of view on chick peas. I love hummus – and it’s gotten me away from the less fatty mayo – but what do you think??
I meant to say – the mayo’s more fatty than the hummus….

Read. Learn. Ask relevant questions.
I’m not Mark, but beans aren’t considered primal/paleo and (the right kind of) fat is good for you, not bad!
I haven’t tried this, but it looks delicious–Son of Grok’s hummus is Primal Approved!
http://www.sonofgrok.com/2009/06/primally-delicious-hummus/
Oh golly! I love this one! I’m gonna send in a pic of my breakfast… Hope that will do!
Indeed sugar-doll, it’s the bees knees!
It was chicken sausage, mashed sweet potato and homemade kombucha. Yum!
Sounds right up my alley. Just finishing up a 36 hour fast, and I’m looking forward to the grass-fed brisket I have marinating in my fridge today. I’ll be sure to share (the pic only
with you guys tonight.
Side note: I tried starting the 30-Day Challenge on Sept 1st, and now I know why mark chose the day AFTER Labor Day. On my camping trip, they were literally forcing beers and smores into my hands around the fire.. HAHA. Fail!
Are we able to enter more than once? For example lunch and dinner? I plan on both having a lot of primal awesome-ness in them so I am having a hard time choosing which to send!
What is the email in the link? I don’t have an auto email that pulls it up.
It’s my first name at this domain.

Doing groceries today… Perfect timing!
That grill pan looks great, I’d love to win it. But look at the description they offer:
“With Le Creuset grills, you can cut the fat but retain the flavor. The deep ribs separate the fat from the food, allowing for healthier cooking. ”
Those folks at Beyond Pots and Pans need to spend some time at MDA! I realize that ‘low-fat’ promo probably sells well though.
But on the bright side, there are handy little pouring lips on the side, so you can just pour the fatty juices back over your meal once you’ve put stuff on the plate!
Now you’re talking!
I’m with Victoria… I use a pan like that. Not to get rid of the fat, but to save it.
I totally AGREE!LOLOL
Cast iron? I’m there (grabs camera).
My current pans are terrible!!! I’m def in!
This is going to rock.
Ooooh, I was just lusting over one of those at the kitchen store the other day. I want a Le Creuset Dutch Oven really bad, too.
Cast Iron! Who wouldn’t want that pan. I got a good laugh from the description on the website of it allowing you to drain away the oil.
No way mang! We’re keeping that!
I’ve just put a free range chicken (from a local farmer – I scored the only one he had this week!) into my crockpot! So excited!
Sweet, I’m now doing a fasting and was breaking it tonight with one of my favorite dishes!
