Dear Friends,

anniechun5Happy New Year!  We hope you enjoyed some wonderful holiday time and great food shared with friends and family. 

As we wind down from the celebrations, we're gearing up to celebrate Chinese New Year 2009, Year of the Ox.  This year, we're doing it with a contest and a fabulous prize of Asian Gourmet Goodies sponsored by Annie Chun's Gourmet Foods

As a Trader Joe's shopper, you're probably familiar with Annie Chun's Teriyaki, Udon, and Miso Bowls, but you might not know just how many products they carry in their line.  The huge selection they've generously provided includes about 27 fabulous sauces, noodles, ready-to-go meals, and a Year of the Ox t-shirt.  We'll even throw in one of our cookbooks.  It's not a gift basket...it's more like a giftwagon.  Your pantry will be stocked and happy!

THE CONTEST:  Simply email us your favorite Asian-inspired recipe or serving suggestion using Trader Joe's products.  Send entries to contest@cookingwithtraderjoes.com

THE DEADLINE:  Get cooking!  Entries must be received by January 22.

THE PRIZE: A mother lode of 27 Annie Chun's products, t-shirt, one signed "Cooking with All Things Trader Joe's" cookbook, and seeing your recipe printed in our next newsletter.

.

Now, here's the bonus:  Each piece of cornbread has less than 1/2 gram of fat and over 6 grams of protein!
