Well, we had so much fun with the last contest, we thought we would do it all over again...times 3!
"Santa's Favoritest" is what we are calling our first recipe contest. All the world over, cookies have been played with, enjoyed, and perfected to the degree that each family seems to have their own tradition for what is the best to lay out on Christmas Eve. So we thought that we would ask Santa to take a break from getting ready for his midnight flight to pick out his favorite from all of the recipes we are looking for everyone to contribute! You have until Dec 22rd to get all those terrific cookies recipes entered, just put it into a comment at the end of this post, or in an email to handmadeheritage@gmail.com (just make sure that no matter what you leave the info for us to reach you). No cookie mixes, please. We'll send out the winning announcement Dec 23rd, just in time for you to lay that favoritest of treats out on that special thank you plate...with the winner receiving a special Christmas Eve plate full of treats and goodies of their very own!
The second contest I spoke of is our Sunrise Recipes competition. In our house, we keep a tradition that has been passed down in my family of having a special Christmas Breakfast Feast. I will go into the traditional details later, but suffice to say we thought we would see what everyone's favorite breakfast recipes are and how they stack up with each other. The deadline for submissions is Dec 22nd, with the winning announcement scheduled for Dec 27th. With a prize package of a breakfast tray, hot drink mixes, and scones how can you not try for this one?!
The third contest is just in time to help everyone with those late night munchies you and your friends and family suffer while waiting for the final countdown to the new year. So to really help kick the party into a celebration, we are hosting a recipe contest to see what kinds of appetizers everyone really likes to enjoy and share! The deadline for this contest is again Dec 22nd, with the winning announcement coming Dec 29th...just in time to get stocked up for your New Year's Celebration! So everyone submit those recipes, and we'll find out just who gets to have their own special service platter filled with goodies and customized just for them to show off their win!
