Holiday Recipe Contest

The holidays wouldn’t be the same without the cherished traditions that create some of our most memorable moments.

They are centered around being consciously grateful for all that you have and giving to those who have been less fortunate. For most of our cultures, those traditions revolve around the preparation and/or enjoyment of food.

For years, your authentic recipes, ones which originated with you or were passed down from generation to generation and

enjoyed by your family and close friends, can now be satisfying to all of our readers. Don’t keep life’s most simple pleasure of a good meal hidden. Share it with the world and make someone’s belly as happy as you make your family’s. On the next page, you will find an entry form for our annual Recipe Contest. We welcome you to participate.
