Here are the basic steps to a battle:

1: Request entry during sign up period. This will be every other Monday and Tuesday. With this entry request, you get to choose one ingredient that you would like in the battle, but it might not be chosen in the end. This ingredient can not be a protein(fish, poultry, beef, etc,) but can be anything else (spices, fruits, veggies, nuts, beans, grains, breads, etc, etc, etc.)

2: Check back at the site (or your email inbox) on Wednesday to see the battle announcement! All participating websites will be listed, as well as the two featured ingredients, and the guest expert judges.

3: Cook! Make something showcasing the two featured ingredients. It can be an entree, appetizer, dessert, taste, feast, or anything you want it to be! Just keep your entry to one course please.

4: On the following Monday, ready your post. Submit your favorite picture of the dish and the permalink to your blog entry to FoodieFights no later than midnight on Monday.
