The Friday Foodies contest opened yesterday and closed same day (Midnight of Friday, 23rd of February,2018).

This implies that all entries that later than midnight, UTC -1, on Friday are automatically disqualified. So check the time you submitted your entry to avoid any confusion.
Today, we are are going to select winners according to plan. Before nominating winners, let's see who all the Friday contestants are and their entries.

First Contestant, Entry 1

The first entry was submitted by @lizbethk. She made Eba and Okro Soup.

For the interest of those who do not understand what eba is. It is a meal made from processed and fermented cassava. See how to process cassava from @ewuoso's post. Fermented foods, generally, are very good for the digestive system, helping to improve immunity. So, I suggest you eat more of these foods, where you can find them. See the procedure @lizbethk used to prepare eba and okro soup from here.

Second Contestant, Entry 2

The unique cultural cake baked and decorated by @farida at her tender age is just incredible. My little girl is so creative to the extent that I always look forward to what next she would present.

This ankara red and yellow star print decorated cake was specially made to match with the attire she wore . Please, see details of preparation procedure from @farida's contest entry post.

Third Contestant, Entry 3

It was so facinating for me to receive the 3rd entry from @minakussiy. Guess what food she prepared? Rice cake (masa in Northern Nigeria) served with vegetable sauce. Let me confess here that I love eating rice, so any rice meal would be appealing to me.

The procedure for preparing rice cake (masa) and vegetable sauce can be found on @minakussiy's blog.

Fourth Contestant, Entry 4

The fourth contestant to send in her entry was @trendyevents. When I first saw the name of the drink she prepared, It got me thinking what kind of drink it was. @trendyevents invented the name babecasedyo for her drink/smoothie.

I bet you would like to know how @trendyevents prepared this amazing nutrient dense drink. Alongside the drink is the main meal-Fried plantain served with vegetable sauce. Proceedure for preparation and other vital information can be found on her blog.

Learning is really unending. I've always bought marinated chicken fajitas from the store to bake at home. From @smylie's blog, I would be able to prepare mine at home. Many thanks to you, @smylie2005, for sharing your recipe with us. Check out the complete procedure for preparation of baked chicken fajitas and homemade pintos from here.

Seventh Contestant, Entry 7

The last but not the least entry, super hero green smoothie, was received from @birdsinparadise.

Source: from @birdsinparadise's blog

What an amazing refreshing smoothie drink it is! When you're green inside, you're clean outside, as the saying goes. Green smoothie drinks are uually 'the real deal' when you are looking for a boost in energy. That is because of the chlorophyll contained in the vegetables, which gives them their characteristic green colour.

Eight Contestant, Entry 8

I do apologise for the initial ommision of @fiscie's entry. More often than not, compilling these entries could be really tasking. So, what did @fiscie present? Sweet potatoe served with lettuce and egg plant vegetable sauce.

To accompany this meal was fresh quick drink. See details of how the meal and drink were prepared from her blog.
