Thank you for all your wonderful submissions! Who knew Trader Joe's Black Pepper Sauce would be so popular... And the winner is ...

It's hot. Get cool. This month's contest is calling for all your creative salad recipes -- served cold. Yes, lettuce, spinach and argula come to mind, but what about fruit salad? Chicken salad? Couscous salad? There are so many unique, fresh Trader Joe's ingredients - you can really get creative...

We asked for cool and creative. We got cool and creative and many, many awesome recipes. This was one of the most successful contests so far. And the winner is....

Love Sausage? Love something with a little kick? The Spicy Italian Chicken Sausage (yup, new label) is all natural and made from chicken raised with no antibiotics. It is fully cooked and a savory and healthier substitute for sausage. For this month's recipe contest, we are looking for new ways to serve it up -- chopped up in entrees, a topping for pizza? Let's see what you got.

Thanks so much for all the entries. Lots of ideas, lots of spice, lots of sassiness.... (no kidding -- 2 different people submitted a Sassy Sausage recipe.) We picked our top 3 and here they are.
