I just hate them! I have a condition called chronic geographic tongue which is basically very similar to a form of psoriasis but in the mouth. The result is that I get blisters and pits which look like the contours of a map on my tongue. It hurts badly and is permanent, generic and the form i have has no treatment. It is equivalent to biting your tongue and then having near vinegar or lemon juice. So anything acidic or alkaline hurts my tongue and can reduce me to tears! When it is really bad it has been known to leave me unable to eat for weeks and unable to drink anything (water included) for days! It has been known to leave me needing IV fluids in really hot weather, luckily many years ago a really good dentist referred me to a major dental hospital who told me that high zinc doses would help to keep it more under control, but I still find anything that I could not eat as a child,I still hate the smell of and bananas are especially smelly and I hate their smell!

I can't even eat something that's been next to a banana without going pink/red and my throat swelling. Same with raw celery, but I can always leave that out of a recipe. Worse still I'm allergic to tap water - same reaction as banana if I drink it unless it's been filtered and then boiled. My sister has a chlorine allergy but I have ?aquagenic urticaria as well. And don't get me started on seafood allergies and the ingredients in medications. One of mine has SLS in - the pharmacist is at his wit's end trying to get hold of the SLS-free equivalents - there are only two and they are as rare as hen's teeth. Maybe we should stop hijacking this thread now :okay:

try a dairy allergy and medication (or most for for that matter). Most use lactose monohydrate as a tablet filler which can and usually does come from a dairy source which is usually contaminated with dairy protein which I'm anaphylactic shock allergic to.

Probably...
 
I chose Tuscan Garlic Chicken from @winterybella as the overall winner. I thought it was the most elegant of the recipes submitted and I also love spinach! Congratulations @winterybella :dance::woot::woot:

A close second for Chicken Chowmein from @Caribbean girl. A good simple recipe which, as was mentioned, can be easily adapted to include other ingredients (in my case that would be lots of chilli!). A special mention for @Elawin for submitting her own recipe Chicken with garlic broccoli and ginger-glazed carrots and photographing it. It looks like a lovely comforting dish (and I like the use of ginger). Also providing a good home comfort dish was new member @Myrtle with Chicken Biscuit Pie. Its a dish I would try out. And of course, I have to mention the Frozen Chicken Smoothies!! from @classic33. I'm not sure what I can say about it...but I have to mention it! :D

So - its over to you @winterybella to choose the next ingredient. I look forward to it!
 
Congratulations to you winterybella on winning the CookingBites Recipe Challenge. I also thought your recipe was a hit. I am now looking forward to seeing what you will choose for the next ingredient.
 
While the winning came as a huge surprise to me I've decided not to delay any further and provide you with an ingredient to get you started. It might be somewhat out of the box but I have decided to go with PASTA. Pasta of any shape, colour or size. I am guessing that @classic33 might not be able to find a smoothie made with Pasta but we shall see:). Deadline is 30th of May at the usual 12 midday UK time.

You have a machine and you actually beat @classic33 to the smoothie punch? Anyway I won't chat here anymore. I like to see picture after picture of entries. So get cracking everyone.

I do have a machine! In fact I have two machines. One is here and one is with my friend who I visit every three weeks or so to stay with and cook. He bought me the pasta machine for my birthday a few years ago and two were sent by mistake - so one is in his house and one in mine. However, despite the fact of two pasta machines, I don't really make home-made pasta very often. But it is delicious and somehow 'lighter' than dried.

As for the smoothie - it took me all of five seconds. I Googled pasta smoothie! It was the only one I could find though, so I expect @classic33 will be able to top that. :D
