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!

I wouls absolutely love me some new pans. Pic has been sent.
Think think think . . .
I was originally going to fast, but I’m definitely going to cook tonight! What a great prize!
If you are fasting, why not take a picture of the empty plate?
I’ll fast tomorrow
Tonight’s meal was totally worth it!
I wish I had taken a picture of last night’s dinner! It was beautiful! Made the “Shanks a lot Bruce” recipe from the Primal cookbook. All topped on cauliflower rice.
Tonight is spaghetti squash with meatballs and homemade tomato sauce. 
Darn! Its a “minivan night” here (where I spend too much time carting kids to dance class or the like), which means a crockpot roast and veggies. My crockpot meals are never pretty. Healthy? Yes. Photogenic? No.
I’m sure the photo I just sent in is the winner, so no need to submit anything, people.
Funny, I felt the same way sending mine! LMAO!
just sent in my lunch scramble: mushrooms, onions, ham (natural and pastured of course), butter and a little good Parmesan.
My delicious Br/lunch looked, smelled and tasted fantastic…lol I just read this post and it is 7:27 P.M. eastern. Boo. Leftover garlic and herb (from the garden) rasted pork made into a “hash” with diced zuccini, summer squash, onion with curry and madras seasoning, topped with 2 (soft) poached eggs…pretty, colorful and YUM! Alas, no pics..next time!
My buffalo stuffed peppers are in the oven right now. Pics to follow.
Lime juice-coconut oil sauteed mushrooms and onions
Mashed warm boiled eggs w/ salted Kerrygold and fresh ground pepper
Halved strawberries topped with creamed fraiche and cacao nibs
Pics to come!!
Tonight we made bacon wrapped venison back-strap cutlets rolled and stuffed with onions and red bell peppers and a garlic olive oil spice rub. Complimented with pancetta wrapped asparagus and bacon, almond, and shallot balsamic green beans. It was fabulous.
bacon wrapped back-strap is a family favorite! So good!
Love that you had pork wrapped pork!
Poached fresh eggs (straight from the coop- never saw the fridge!), sauteed zucchini and avocado, with a healthy dose of Hollandaise sauce… so good!
Omelet with spinach, tomato, ham, & mushrooms, with a bit of sharp cheddar. Gluten-free pork sausage. Sauteed zucchini & tomatoes also with a bit of sharp cheddar.
Reading what everyone is eating reminds me this lifestyle is not a sacrifice. I’ve never eaten better, tastier (and guilt-free) food!
Wow, so many delicious sounding meal…yum.
We had Salmon Salad made with homemade mustard and homemade mayo on a bed of baby spinach. Olives and avocado slices, with tomatoes, yellow raspberries and figs from the garden.
Just submitted our entry to this fantastic contest! We really appreciate all your efforts for keeping the challenge exciting and fresh. We bet the MDA hive is buzzing- thank you Mark and all the worker bees!
Ours was an ecletic mix of our favorites- lots of fat, bacon, seafood (including calamari), pemmican… but it was primal and nourishing. We hope everyone ate well tonight too!
just submitted mine, can’t wait to see them all this sunday!
We just submitted our dinner photo and are quite pleased! I can’t wait to see what everyone else made.
Meatza with ground turkey and fresh za’atar crust, italian sausage spaghetti sauce, kale, mushrooms, mozzarella, and pepperoni.
Dessert: crustless butternut squash “pie”.
On a business trip but still had a great primal dinner – steak with sauteed mushrooms, green beans with bacon and pan fried zucchini.
Just rooted around for what was in the fridge–turkey-egg omelet with spinach, tomato and asparagus baked in olive oil, mixed greens salad with carrots and almonds, and a bowl of full-fat yogurt with frozen berries for dessert. Yum!
Turkey-egg? As in ‘egg from a Turkey’… oohhh that’s a new one on me- we raise chicken and have access to Duck Eggs, but I never thought of getting or trying Turkey. I’ll put it on my to-do list.
Yeah, they taste almost the same as chicken eggs, but maybe a little… heavier? Not sure if that’s the right word to describe it. They’re good though. Substantially larger than chicken eggs as well. The shells are tough though; they’re a pain in the butt to open without getting little shell bits everywhere.
I haven’t tried duck eggs, but I want to.
Almost forgot to send in the pic!
Taco Salad: Grass Fed Beef, Taco Seasoning, Cherry Tomatoes, Avocado! So simple and so delicious.
I hope a picture of our meal at a Chinese Restaurant counts! I don’t see any restrictions. I just sent it to you and will cross my fingers that it’s eligible because I got some pretty strange looks taking pictures of my dinner in the restaurant!
Fantastic thing to be in Denmark and submitting my Dinner photo by the time you guys will be eating your breakfast!!!
I made mine for breakfast to be able to have it in in time…
Lol… who says you have to eat certain foods at certain times of the day right!?
My local store had sushi stuff on sale so made cauliflower sushi with salmon and avocado – very very good
Nothing like a last minute submission! *phew* just in the nick of time!
Arggghhh! I’ve just missed the deadline!
