We’ve been wanting to find a way to connect with our readers on another level, while also giving back to you and our community. Recently, we saw a monthly cooking challenge hosted by Love and Lemons and the spark was ignited.
Our Culinary Club Challenge is going 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.
We’re going to be starting our Culinary Club with one of our kids’ favorite meals as a tribute to them for being with us on this journey: Sofritas.
Here’s how it’ll work:

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.
June’s Recipe: Sofritas
Something we hear all the time is how expensive eating out is getting, and we can feel it too. We thought we’d kick off our cooking club challenge with something that is restaurant quality inspired, yet still super easy to make!
Sofritas are the vegan protein option available at Chipotle restaurants. It’s made out of tofu and combined with spices to provide a delicious option on top of rice bowls, in tacos, on salads, and so much more!
To make this soy free: use Pumfu (pumpkin seed tofu) or Chickpea Tofu.
Tip: Make our entire Chipotle inspired Sofritas bowl! We have recipes for:
