We’re gearing up for the Fancy Food Show in New York this week – always an exciting time for us, as we get to unveil a lot of the new marinades and mustards I’ve been cooking up in my kitchen the past few months.

Yippee!!  ‘Beyond the Bull’ The Round-Up Centennial Cookbook is finally finished and hot off the presses.  We got the books just in time for Round-up, our annual rodeo here in Pendleton www.pendletonroundup.com and the sales are going great.  We were even able to get Reba McEntire to do our forward.  I and my good friends and fellow cookbook planners Mary Alice and Raphael were able to present Reba with a cookbook at the Oregon State Fair.
We had so much fun meeting her.  She is very charming and just plain gorgeous in person.  If anyone out there would like to order a cookbook they can contact me and I will make sure they get one.  I do believe we really captured the flavor and personality of The Pendleton Round-up.  The price is
$28.95 plus $6.05 shipping and handling.  All the proceeds go to renovating the plaza and entrance to our historic rodeo in time for it’s 100th year.

This is a hugely exciting week for us, because our first major contest is live and underway.  A little less than a month ago, we posted a few Tweets and sent out a few emails asking food bloggers to enter our contest - to test out our new Saucy Mama collection, and to post their recipes online.  Well, the packages went out and most of our 25 fabulous contestants are now working furiously to showcase their cooking skills.

At stake: an Amazon Kindle, Amazon gift cards, some AudioVox under-counter DVD players, plus bragging rights with the winning recipe to appear on Saucy Mama packages!

Make sure to follow our blog, as we’ll be linking to many of these great recipes.  Such as THIS one, from Andrea at www.BellaEats.com …

Don’t forget – if you like the recipes you see and want to re-create them for yourself, Saucy Mama products can be purchased directly through the Barhyte Specialty Foods web site anytime!

Stay tuned (or better yet, sign up for our FeedBurner delivery, so you don’t miss one great recipe) and we’ll share more with you as the contest rolls on!

Happy Days!!
