Unfortunately, we didn't have great any participation last month.  Let's attribute that to people being crazy busy over the holidays, not people not loving our link-up ;)  Hey, we love it, and it makes us experiment with new dishes, so we're going to keep it going!  Do you need a little convincing?  Check out our top 5 reasons to link up with us this month!

Five Reasons to Participate in KMU this Month:

1. Did you forget to make a New Year's Resolution?  Make participating in KMU this month [or every month!!] your resolution!

2. Was your resolution to eat healthier?  Use KMU to practice some clean cooking!
3. Was your resolution to travel or exercise?  Use KMU to travel to the grocery store and get in a little exercise around the store, finding new ingredients in new aisles you might not have tried before!

4. Want to meet more bloggy friends?  Sign up to participate and you'll make two with me and Amanda!

5.  These ingredients are awesome:

Do you have ideas for ingredients?  Send them our way!  Even if you might not want to participate yourself, definitely comment or email us with what you'd like to see us cook or bake with!  

The Guidelines:

- "Open The Basket" on the first Tuesday of the month to see your ingredients and sign up.  

- Cook/Bake/Fry/Grill an original recipe using the four ingredients.

- Use any other ingredients you wish.

- Link up with our "Tasting" on the last Tuesday of the month with your recipe and/or photos of your creation.

- Use our button if you wish!
