    Cook With Sam Challenge: September

    Welcome to another month of Cook With Sam Club! 💚

    Every month, we cook one recipe together as a community, and you voted for my Easy Vegan Meatballs for September! 🙌 They're hearty, protein-packed, freezer-friendly, and perfect with pasta, tucked into a meatball sub, or stashed in the freezer for an easy dinner later.

    🎉 August's Winner + Your Crispy Tofu Photos

    Now for the moment you've been waiting for… We received an amazing 83 entries for August! A huge congratulations to our randomly selected winner: 👉 Amy L !

    Amy said: "I have only had tofu a few times and I had this recipe in both your Crunchy Sesame Cabbage Salad and Peanut Butter Noodles. I have to say that the Crunchy Sesame Cabbage Salad with this tofu is delicious! I've tried it in the air fryer and the oven and so far I prefer the oven, but I'll try it pan fried next time to compare all three." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    You've won a $100 gift card (your choice of Amazon, Indigo/Barnes & Noble, or Uber Eats) 🎁 Your name was randomly selected from all the entries. I'll be reaching out by email shortly!

    💛 Your Crispy Tofu Photos

    My personal favorite photo this month goes to Megan L. I mean, what's not to love about this photo? The tofu, the cat… I think this photo is puuurfection. 😉
