July 3rd Round-Up Part Two!

Happy holidays, welcome to Part Two of the July 3rd Round-Up!

This week we celebrate Canada Day and America's Independence Day, a chance to celebrate the best that our countries have to offer with friends and family.

We have one book left to give away, Tyler's Dinner at My Place. If you would like a chance to win this book, and if you are a participant in Tyler Florence Fridays, please leave a comment here or on Part One of the round-up about why you are proud of your own little corner of the world. Maybe you have a fabulous museum, awesome mountains, a great bike path or a kind-hearted mayor. We want to know what makes you proud of your neighbourhood.
And Tyler, if you are reading this... we need more books... or something.. for our fabulous TFF participants to win!

Speaking of fabulous, let's see what else is cooking this week...

Arlene from The Food of Love tried Tyler's Chicken Parmesan this week. "Keeping it real," as Randy would say, "this wasn't one of our favorite Tyler recipes.
The wonderful thing about food, though, is that we all have our own proclivities, so you may find the Kalamata enhanced tomato sauce is just your thing," says Arlene.

Jessica of My Baking Heart made Tyler's Chicken Noodle Ramen Soup this week. "There are so many ways you can change this one up, but I decided to stick with it as written since I was short on time. This took just a few minutes and was so yummy… perfect for kiddos this summer and such an awesome way to jazz up Ramen noodles. This is definitely a keeper!"

Deb of Kahakai Kitchen made Grilled Brie and Tomato on Crusty Bread this week, opting for a delicious but simple dish to nibble on in the hot weather. "Delicious! A great combination of textures, the crusty bread, creamy, nutty Brie and the tomatoes, broiled until they split and all of their flavor comes through. I added a few flakes of what is probably my favorite salt, (Although with my vast and beloved salt collection this is a bit like picking a favorite a favorite child), Halen Môn."

Kim of Stirring the Pot made Dr. Tyler's Chicken Meatball and Tortellini Soup this week. "I chose this recipe as a way to use up some pantry and freezer ingredients. I thought Tyler's take on chicken noodle soup was unique and original. I enjoyed the flavor of the chicken meatball and the cheese ravioli and thought it was a very flavorful and substantial soup. "

Over at Living in the Kitchen with Puppies, I made two tomato dishes from Tyler's recipes, this one is Summer Tomatoes, Slashed and Stuffed. I loved the soft and buttery tomatoes with the hint of basil. This would be perfect as a side for a grilled steak dinner, it just tastes like summer.

And our choice for feature dish this week - is the pop-in-your-mouth delicious dish by Jenny of All Things Edible who made Tyler's Salt and Pepper Shrimp

Congratulations Jenny! Your dish will be up on Tyler's blog next week.
