How to Participate

Each month, I’ll share two recipes—one to cook and one to bake—and invite you to join me in making them! These recipes are all about feel-good food that’s simple, satisfying, and made for real life.

Get Cooking or Baking

New challenge recipes go live on the 1st of every month! You have until midnight on the last day of the month to show us what you’ve got. Choose either the cooking or baking recipe—or try both for double the fun (and double the chances to win!). Want a sneak peek or early access? Sign up for our mailing list below and be the first to know when the new recipes drop.

Review the Recipe

Scroll to the bottom of the recipe post, rate the recipe with a star rating, and comment sharing how it went, or any fun tweaks you added. This is your official entry! Don’t forget to include #MadeWithErren in your comment so we can easily find it. One comment = one entry. If you try both recipes, leave a separate comment on each recipe for double your chances to win!
