Congrats on your win! I can't wait to try this recipe! I found your blog through your winning announcement on the Whole Foods blog...I'll be adding you to my reader asap! Thanks for sharing all your hard work!
ReplyDelete~Lana B~
I am so excited for you! Congratulations, Karina!
ReplyDeletecongrats! This recipe sounds absoultely delicious, can't wait to test it out on my kitchen!
ReplyDeleteWoo Hoo! I am so happy you won! That is my super favorite "go to" recipe, too.
ReplyDeleteHey, Sparky is a cutie!
Congratulations on the win!
Awe, Sparky is so cute! Congrats again, you were my choice! (Now I just need to make that recipe!)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
ReplyDeleteIts great to see gluten-free win and become a bit more mainstream. I personally cannot wait to try this recipe (live in a dorm so cooking in the communal kitchen is not really an option...too many crumbs floating around) but I will certainly make it as soon as possible.
Love the other recipes i have tried here!
Congrats! You are a fabulous chef. This recipe was great and so are your others. You have been a life saver to a new GF/dairy/soy/corn intolerant gal. Keep up the great work, words, and sense of humor. It all gives me encouragement each day.
ReplyDeleteBarbara
Congrats! It's so great that gluten free and celiac is being publicized and the more awareness we get, the better everyone is for!!!! It is also nice to show the world that gluten free doesn't have to taste disgusting!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! That's fantastic! And that recipe sounds fabulous - if only my family enjoyed sweet potatoes, I might get to try it :-( *sigh*
ReplyDeleteCongrats! I love your recipes and your blog! Keep up the great work!
ReplyDeleteCathy
SO COOL! :) CONGRATS! THOSE ENCHALADAS LOOK OUTSTANDING, Too! You totally deserve all of this and more! Cheers to bigger and better things for Karina's Kitchen! :)
ReplyDelete-PS- What did YOU winn for this?!
Congratulations! I read and voted for your recipe and made a note that I wanted to try it. I haven't had enchiladas since I went GF. Tonight a friend called who is having us for dinner and she was telling me about this cool sweet potato and black bean recipe she found on the WF site and that maybe she could make it when we come to dinner. I'm excited to try it next week!
ReplyDeleteGo Gluten Free and Go Sparky! I had a stuffed mountain goat named Moses once and he was a bit dusty so I threw him in the wash and his long "fur" shrunk and now he is a big horned sheep. I still feel guilty.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I can't wait to try this recipe - it looks so yummy! I have loved all of your recipes that I have tried so far (as does my non GF co-worker - I bring her samples). :-) I would have never thought to pair black beans with sweet potatoes - but reading the recipe - it sounds like a wonderful combination.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe healthy and gluten-free can be so delicious! As a Mexican-American, I have been mostly disappointed in healthy versions of the food I grew up with, but I am discovering some wonderful alternatives here on your blog...followed the link from your win at Whole Foods, congratulations!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! I just saw that on the WF site and thought, "oh yay!"
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Funny, my favorite enchilada recipe is also sweet potato and black beans but is totally different! I will have to give yours a try.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! That is awesome news! I was certainly pulling for you :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats!!! I love trying out your recipes even though I rarely comment on them. What a way to go!!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your winning recipe. I can't wait to try it!
ReplyDeleteI also thank you for sharing your gluten-free creations. My gluten-intolerant husband appreciates you too!
Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteYou have no idea how much your blog has helped me help my 16 year old daughter.
You have been a blessing.
Congratulations! The recipe was sooo good, too! You definitely deserved it.
ReplyDeleteVery happy for you. I've been trying to accept the fact that wheat and dairy give me really bad random headaches and sugar isn't a whole lot nicer to me. I wish it was digestive or happened all the time. Then I might not be so tempted to cheat. Your recipes help though!
ReplyDeletecongratulations karina!! how exciting! this is definitely my favorite recipe of yours, so i'm so glad it will be shared with so many more people now.
ReplyDeleteYay! Yay! I'm so happy that you won, you have really helped a zillion gluten free people and lit the way for many of us in the kitchen.
ReplyDeleteYours in Enchilada love
Katie
Congratulations on your win! I love your blog, and I can't wait to try the winning recipe!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Katrina! Since my diagnosis of Celiac Sprue in January, your blog has brought me great hope that this new lifestyle is one to be embraced and rejoiced.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, I have been wanting to try that recipe, I love anything with sweet potatoes!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! All the green chile deliciousness...
ReplyDeleteCongrats! That recipe looks delicious. I can hardly wait to try it! Perhaps this weekend...
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I have made this recipe before and LOVED it!!! I will make it again soon in honor of your win and because it is FREAKING awesome!!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on winning! It's finally getting cool enough here to use our oven and I can't wait to try these.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! That's wonderful - and I definitely have to try this recipe! Thanks for all the gluten-free dishes.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the win! Way to see a veggie recipe represent!!!

ReplyDeleteCongrats on your win! I followed you over here from the announcement on the Whole Foods blog. :)
ReplyDeleteThat is terrific! I am going to make the banana snack cake tonight. Also, wondering if you have ever used hemp milk for a cream based sauce? Hankering chicken ala king... Many thanks for all of your advice and recipes, I couln't do GFCF with out YOU
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Karina!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to you! I love your recipes!
ReplyDelete:)
I'm going to try this recipe soon...It looks fabulous!

All these well wishers, it's as if you've won on behalf of the whole community. You have, you have, Kari, many congratulations!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the win! The enchilada's look yummy!
ReplyDeleteKarina -
ReplyDeleteAs a celiac myself, I really appreciate your delicious, wholesome recipes. Keep em' coming!

ReplyDeleteWow! How exciting for you and us! This is great to see a gluten free recipe winning against gluten containing ones too!!!! Way to go girl!
ReplyDeleteWay to go, Karina!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy for you! I can't thank you enough for all your advice and help. I am newly diagnosed with Celiac Disease and am blessed to have found your site and email. Many thanks and congratulations!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! And thank you for all the vegetarian, gluten free ideas!
ReplyDelete~Kal
Can't wait to try this Award Winning YUM dish! As usual, delicious, healthy, and appealing.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
Oh, that's so cool that you won. Made this recently, and it was quite tasty.
ReplyDeleteI am so excited to try this recipe. As a grad student with a gluten allergy living on a budget, this is the perfect recipe for me! Thank you so much for creating it and this wonderful website. It has been incredibly helpful.
ReplyDeleteCongrats..They look delicious!
ReplyDeleteI was so excited when I saw this on the Whole Foods website. My boyfriend is vegetarian. Between my celiac & other food allergies and his being vegetarian we have a hard time coming up with a whole meal that satisfies us both. I haven't had a chance to try this yet, but I'm looking forward to with enthusiasm. Of course I voted for this and I'm so glad you won. Thanks for bringing awareness to celiac and the fact that gluten free food can taste as amazing as gluten containing food.
ReplyDeleteYUMBO!!!!! Thanks so much. -- Karen M. in Charlottesville
ReplyDeleteHooray!!! Go, you!
ReplyDelete(p.s. I've got your cookbook on my Farm Natters wish list *grin*)
Way to go Karina! It's exciting that you and your recipe were recognized, and it feels good to know that more people will try something GF and think "wow - this tastes great!"
ReplyDeleteCheers!
Congratulations!! I've been in the kitchen all day with my kiddlets cooking treats out of your Facebook CookBook! Everything we tried got a double-thumbs up!
ReplyDeleteKimberly~in El Paso
Hi Karina, this is my first time posting (nothing like a possibility of a gift certificate as positive motivation...) - I've tried a bunch of your recipes and really enjoyed them. And I voted for you in the Whole Foods contest because of that. So, whether I get picked in your giveaway or not, the most important part of this comment is to say CONGRATULATIONS to you. You really deserve it.
ReplyDeleteCongrats, Karina! Can't wait to try the winning recipe.
ReplyDeleteGreat news! Always enjoy your blog and creative recipes. You deserved to win!
ReplyDeleteFound you from the Whole Story blog. This recipe sounds delicious, and I'm dying to try it on my family.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! So glad gluten-free can be so good!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the win! Although I am not celiac, I still enjoy reading your column. We really enjoy your two potato salad with sweet potatoes recipe as well as the Mediterranean Eggplant with crumbled beef.
ReplyDeleteHelen from Ohio
Hey I like Sparky! Haven't seen him before. Congrats - and wonder what happened with the south beach diet. Your comments about hormonal changes and weight were right on for me too.
ReplyDeleteOptomum@comcast.net
Considering I love sweet potatoes AND enchiladas, this will be something I'll be making next week after I go shopping! Thanks for all your hard work in gluten-free cooking.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to you Karina! You deserve it! What a great win! :)
ReplyDeleteKim
Congrats!!
ReplyDeleteI actually saw your recipe and voted on the Whole Foods site without ever having read your blog. In the two weeks following I was tested for possibly causes of some osteopenia at only 30 years old and came back for gluten-intolerance. How prophetic! LOL!
Now, I am pouring over your website and already made your Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars and Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas. They were both awesome! Thank you so much for your blog! It's been a lifesaver!
Oh yay! That enchilada recipe looks so delicious.
ReplyDeleteKarina, I discovered my wheat allergy in February of this year, and your blog has been such an awesome source of support for me. Thank you!
Sounds great - I can't wait to try them!
ReplyDeleteKarina,
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you won! Your blog and recipes have been an inspiration to me. Thank you!
Mmmm.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to try the recipe!
Keep those GF recipes coming.
Thank you.
E.R.
Congratulations !! I am a great fan of your recipes, blog, photography - you inspire me in many ways!
ReplyDeleteTasty goodness is always a winner! I appreciate the heart & soul you put into this blog and your recipes. Keep on kickin' it up and cooking :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat an excellent blog! So excited to try out some of these recipes!
ReplyDeleteCongrats. I'm reading your recipes because my mother has developed celiac at age 76 and is coming to stay with me for 3 months!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!!!! I knew you would win. You are by far the most gifted cook I have ever experienced. Keep on inventing!
ReplyDeleteCongrats Karina! This dish is on my menu this week and I can’t wait to try it. I’ve heard so many great reports. It is very cool that you won. I’m excited for you. Keep those great recipes coming. My family is loving it.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Karina! You absolutely deserve it. :)

ReplyDeleteWoohoo!!!!! Hearty Congratulations, Karina!! I am so excited for you & I have been rooting for you!! I started entering gf recipes in contests just last year and although i have yet to even make it into the running, I'm SUPER excited that you are getting the recognition that you so rightly deserve for your incredible food!! Here's hoping we see more and more gluten free recipes in contests!!
ReplyDeletemazel tov! i knew you'd win. i could sure use a help with grocery bills right now, so count me in....
ReplyDeleteCongrats Karina!
ReplyDeleteMahalo for all of your lovely recipes! Sending Aloha from Hawaii!
Congrats! We tried these and the are delcious! You deserved to win!
ReplyDeleteYay, giveaway! ^___^
ReplyDeleteKarina -
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! I had just checked the WF website the other day to see if they had announced that YOU were the winner yet.
This recipe is awesome - I made it down here in Albuquerque for our midwestern visitors that were in town for the balloon fiesta - it was awesome! And they liked the yummy NM green chile too. We had some of the filling leftover and started eating it with corn chips while we were waiting on the oven and that was good too!
Congrats!
Renee
Karina,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your win! The recipe sounds great and is now in my pile of recipes to try. I haven't cooked with arrowroot starch before - in fact I don't think I've ever seen it in the store - where do you pick it up and do you think there is a more available substitute?
Jenn
Congratulations, Karina! I'm so glad that your recipe won, and I can't wait to try this recipe very soon. I love your blog and have tried several of your recipes so far, and they've all been wonderful. I can't wait to try more of them!
ReplyDeleteWow, how cool! Fantastic news! Congrats. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking GFCF mainstream, deliciously!
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness! that is so wonderful. and we'll just have to try that recipe out. looks super yummy!
ReplyDeletecongrats.
Congrats! I have to say that every single recipe of yours that I have tried has been a major hit. Thanks for all the inspiration.

ReplyDeleteKate from SD
YIPPEE!!!
ReplyDeleteYour recipes rock and now more people know!
Congratulations and keep 'em comin'!
Jill
Congrats on the win. I am very happy to have found this site with your recipes. My sister and her family have just been put on gluten free diets so she is going to love this when I refer her to your recipes. I can't wait to try these enchiladas myself. Great Work!!!!
ReplyDeletethis is my first week on a wheat-free diet, and i have been SO happy with this site. so happy that i've been looking at yummy recipes and not working all week... oops :) this is my first post and i just want to express how grateful i am for it! wheat free does NOT equal boring.
ReplyDeleteGreat job. Can't wait to try the recipe.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Karina!! :)
ReplyDeleteI have been an avid reader of your site since stumbling upon the link during my countless hours of Google research.
All I can say is THANK YOU.
I was diagnosed with food allergies (corn, wheat, barley, rye, oats, tuna, pork, hazelnuts - phew!) in August of '07. After a few months of plain veggies, protein and brown rice, I knew there had to be a better way. I found you in the nick of time.
For your recipe, could you recommend any substitutions for the beans? (I know that somewhat defeats the purpose of the recipe, but I don't tolerate members of the bean family really well.)
Thanks, Karina! Again, congratulations!
Hooray! Many congrats. :)
ReplyDeletecongrats. I am so glad to see people taking such an active interest in celiac and our nutrition needs. It's wonderful that you won! I wish you many blessings in the future!
ReplyDeleteCongrats!!!! I made the beef pomegranate stew on Monday - it is still my favorite cold-weather recipe ever! You're my favorite GF blogger:)
ReplyDeleteYay Karina!! You go, Goddess!
ReplyDeleteAnd Yay for gluten-free food!

I have benefited so much from your gluten free recipes.

ReplyDeleteKarina,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on this well-deserved win! I made your enchiladas the night they first appeared, and everyone in my family loved them. I love your blog because the posts are so filled with Life and provide inspiration for exquisitely beautiful, hopeful, healthful food! Thank you!

Congratulations, Karina! And here you are, being generous as ever! I especially like your recipes because I am able to use them here in Belgium--we have fantastic organic stores and I can always find the ingredients you list there, if not at the grocery store. Thanks for all you do on your super blog!
ReplyDeleteDidn't doubt for a second that you'd win! Congratulations! Now to try that recipe . . . .
ReplyDeleteYay, way to go! I don't comment on your site very often, but I always read it. Though I'm not a celiac, one of my close friends is. I love to help her find recipes and meals she can eat without worry!
ReplyDeleteThanks Karina!
(Also, I've posted a link to your site on my blog Adventures with Basil, I hope that's alright. Let me know if it isn't!)
Yay! That's great news. I can't wait to make this. You have a wonderful blog!
ReplyDeleteWoohoo!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Karina! It's a victory for all Celiac and gluten sensitive folks. What a fabulous way to raise awareness for gluten free living! I look forward to more recipes.
ReplyDeleteAs I stated in my comment on the Whole Foods blog, your recipes have cut my grocery bill by about 25-30%; the proof is in my wallet! I make at least one of your recipes each week, many of them already incorporated into the regular routine at the request of my non-gluten free husband. Way to go!
Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteYou do so much to make the world a tastier and happy place!
Marcia
Well done! I have to try this, it sounds so good.
ReplyDeleteHi Karina... Congratulations on the win!! I actually just tried out this recipe yesterday & it was divine!! Thanks so much for all of your hard work and for posting these excellent recipes :-)

ReplyDeletethanks mary
Congratulations, I can hardly wait to try your winning recipe. My friend just emailed the link for the recipe last Thursday and now I'm already a fan.

ReplyDeleteI sure wouldn't mind a gift card to Whole Foods. I shop there, but very sparingly because of the cost.
ReplyDeleteCongrats . I left voted and left a message after trying out the recipe . Thanks for your hard work
ReplyDeleteCongratulations hun! You really deserve it. Anybody who shops at Whole Foods out of necessity knows that it can get spendy. So anybody who can come up with cost effective gluten free meals is my personal hero lol. Thanks again for the recipes!
ReplyDeleteNamaste, BB
Hi Karina,
ReplyDeleteIt is so wonderful that you won! At last the world at large can get a taste of your terrific food.
Glad to see that Whole Foods folks really can see the gold in our kind of food.
Jean
I can't wait to try this recipe and I've decided to make it for dinner on Halloween! It looks really good and I have been wanting to learn to do green sauce from scratch. Thanks for being GF, vegetarian, healthy and inexpensive!
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome that you've won, it's nice to see something a little different win! I can't wait to try the recipe, I'm waiting for my biopsy results to find out if this gf diet will be the rest of my life..thanks for all the inspiration! keep it up!! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Karina,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on winning an thank you for helping to not only spread awareness of GF free food, but an option to enjoy. I found out less than 2 years ago that I had Celiac Disease and it is so hard to find GF free that tastes good, I love your recipes!!! Your rock! Thanks, JiHan
Congratulations. I love your blog and recipes. You have a great voice. I also love the little comments you throw in about New Mexico. I lived in Northern New Mexico for three years before leaving for the Oregon Coast 20 months ago. I don't miss New Mexico as a whole, but there are little pieces that I do miss a lot. I hope you're able to make the move you're seeking soon.
ReplyDeleteKarina,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I've been reading your blog and cooking your recipes for two years but didn't ever comment until the Whole Foods recipe contest! Awesome job, and thank you for being there when I learned I needed to cook gluten free and casein free for two of my kids!
Congratulations ;) We are loving your recipes at our house - thank you!!!!
ReplyDeletehooray for you
ReplyDeletehow exciting
good luck keep it coming!
Congratulations! I have made several of your recipes and they are always hits. Now sooo many more people will know about your wonderful recipes!
ReplyDeleteWhoo-hoo! Gluten-free power! Well, even if the presidential election doesn't go my way, at least I can say that my candidate won the Whole Foods blogger challenge. :)
ReplyDeleteOh Karina I am SO HAPPY for you!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I have just recently discovered your blog and I want to thank you for making me feel like I'm not alone in loving food, while being Gluten Intolerant. Thanks a bunch! And again, many congratulations.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to you! With a daughter that has allergies to eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, peas, wheat and milk...I have been able to use many of your recipes - thank heavens! It is HARD to maneuver, but you make it easier. Thanks and Congratulations again!!
ReplyDeleteJudi
Congratulations, Karina!
ReplyDeleteI suspected you'd win. :) I've been a silent reader of your blog for months and months.
We recently started my son on the GF/CF diet and we've used several of your recipes with great success...especially your meatballs. :)
Anyway, you deserve this win. Proud of you!

Felicitades on your win! I LOVE your recipes, Katrina. Cooking is again a delicious adventure thanks to you.
ReplyDeleteOf anyone I know, or know of, you deserve this award! All your recipes are fabulous! I love the photography and the fact that I can trust them to be gluten free and some soy and dairy free just makes me want to jump for joy! and Cook!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for all you do!
Tina in Atlanta, GA
Congratulations on your win! Much appreciation for your efforts in keeping the spotlight on the dietary challenges associated with celiac disease.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! You deserve it, not only for inspiring the GF crowd but our friends as well--your blog is so pretty that my friends have taken to getting recipes off it not only for me but for their own families!
ReplyDeleteYaaaaay!!! We are all so proud for you (and happy that we helped - just a bit) How nice that we could help you, given how very much your GF/CF recipes have helped us.
ReplyDeleteMy family is so very thankful to have you in our lives (and kitchen)! You were there last night, tonight, and again tomorrow night. We are so appreciative and concur with your words and thoughts - be they focused on politics, the beauty/harshness of New Mexico, the joy of family and friends, the trials of changed diets, multitudinous Goddess blessings, or just the love of good food!
I have been a fan since the days of your earlier cookbooks, and happened upon your blog after my husband & daughter needed to change their diets. I was overwhelmed. And suddenly, there you were. She works in mysterious ways.
Congratulations, Karina! We are so happy for you!
congratulations, karina! that is an awesome recipe and i voted for you..it deserved a win!
ReplyDeletei love your site..i don't post much but i am 'here' alot and love so many of your recipes...thank you for the site..it is a great boon to those of us on special diets!
