Last month's top commenter is long-time TeamSugar member celebrity_soup. She loves sharing her recipes and always has something to say. When asked about chicken for dinner, she said:

I always make this chicken on weekends, it's very versatile. Leftovers can later be used to make just about anything with chicken.

And when asked about lychees, she said:

I LOVE lychees, i eat them all the time here in Africa. They are available mostly at summertime, i pop around 20 something in minutes. They are so sweet and juicy! yummmmm!

For being our top talker, celebrity_soup is going to receive a YumSugar apron! Congrats celebrity_soup!

My cousin Alli, who is in high school has recently developed an interest in cooking! To encourage her experimentation in the kitchen, I thought it would be fun to give her a cute apron. I asked you to help me find Alli an awesome apron. You looked for aprons that are, fun, colorful, and young. I want an apron she can wear while entertaining and down the road that she can bring when she goes off to college. Her style is classic and preppy so the apron shouldn't be too flashy or out there. You guys did an amazing job, I feel like you found every cute apron out there and saved them in the Yum Market with the keyword tag, Apron. Here are three aprons that are perfect for Alli, both fashionable and functional:

A half apron that is both modern and retro I love how it's girlie. Found by rubialala, the polka-dot print is timeless, I can just see Alli baking a chocolate cake while wearing this apron.

Chlyn discovered this basic apron in bright stripes. The classic vertical strips in bold primary colors will add a bright splash of color to Alli's cream kitchen.

This two-tone apron was so popular it was saved by three different people: eruntale, atkoester, and geeksugar! It's a chicly beautiful apron that reminds me of a piece of art work. Great apron ladies!

When I was prepping and cooking the food for our Sex and the City Marathon at Fab's house, I expected her to offer me a glamorously stylish apron. However, I was shocked to see that an apron is the one article of clothing that she does NOT own. So I decided we should find her one! You headed off to market in search of a fashionable apron that is pretty, fun, and Fab-worthy. You avoided aprons that are tacky or season specific and saved your finds in the Yum Market on TeamSugar with the keyword tag, Fab Apron.

I'm positive Fab will love this chic, almost Parisian red apron. Its black and white accents are classic yet fun and the fit is stylishly well cut. It's also reversible making it two fab aprons for the price of one. High five bengalspice! To look at all of the aprons you discovered, scroll to the right below.
