Join the Love & Lemons Cooking Club Challenge this month! It’s easy to enter, and one lucky winner will receive a prize. Find all the details below.
Our Cooking Club is a fun way to celebrate the Love & Lemons community of readers. The concept is super simple—each month, I choose a recipe. You make it, and you leave a comment on the recipe’s blog post. At the end of the month, I randomly select one winner to receive a prize.
I love the sense of community that comes from so many people cooking one recipe each month. We’re kicking off our January challenge today with our red lentil soup recipe, and I hope you’ll join in the fun. Here’s how it works:
Join the Love & Lemons Cooking Club
- Each month, I choose one seasonal recipe. Sign up for our email list so you’ll know as soon as I share each month’s recipe.
- Make that recipe during the month.
- Leave a comment on the challenge recipe’s blog post by the end of the month. This time, the deadline is January 31!
- For a bonus entry, send a picture of what you made to cookingclub@loveandlemons.com.

The Prize: A $100 Whole Foods Gift Card!
At the end of the month, I’ll randomly select a winner and share some of your photos. This time, we’re giving away a $100 Whole Foods gift card.
In addition, for every entry we receive, we’ll donate $1 to No Kid Hungry.
January is peak soup season, so it felt right to choose a soup for the club this month! We’re making my NEW red lentil soup recipe.
I’ve been really loving this one lately, and I think you’ll enjoy it too.
- It calls for basic pantry ingredients.
- It’s full of fresh veggies and protein-rich lentils.
- It’s super flavorful, thanks to earthy cumin and a big squeeze of lemon.
I partially blend the soup to give it a lightly creamy texture. It’s so comforting on a cold day!
This recipe is vegan and gluten-free. Serve it with a big salad for a fresh, delicious meal!

Last Month’s Recipe
Last month’s challenge was a little different and so much fun! We did a virtual cookie swap, where everyone could make any of these 23 Christmas Cookie Recipes.
You all chose an amazing variety, and some people made more than one recipe! To name a few…
- Heidi made the cranberry cookies, gingerbread cookies, sugar cookies, and lemon cookies.
- Angela made the sugar cookies and peanut butter blossoms.
- Joyce made the molasses cookies, thumbprint cookies, and Mexican wedding cookies.
- And Michelle made the snickerdoodles and peanut butter blossoms.
The Mexican wedding cookies were the most popular choice!
Here are some of your photos:
And congrats to our winner, Adrienne!:
