Creative Holiday Recipe Contest!!
Hey guys!
After many years of blogging and getting to know all y’all, I’ve noticed that you’re pretty stinking creative.
Some of my most favorite posts and recipes have come from ideas from readers!
So…here’s the deal…
Shelly (Cookies and Cups) and I are joining forces for a fun little challenge.
We thought we would give YOU guys the chance to impress US with your mad holiday baking skills.
Let’s talk details…
- Your creative idea must be just that…YOUR idea. NO adaptations or “inspired by” posts please.
- You must post your idea on your website any day from December 9th through December 14th and also link your post up on either my site or Shelly’s, using our link-up widget. It’s really easy, don’t worry!
- In the post on your site you need to link back to our sites to be eligible to win…like this, “I am entering this {name of your recipe} in the Creative Holiday Recipe Contest hosted by Confessions of a Cookbook Queen and Cookies and Cups!“
- Shelly and I will judge your entries based on Creativity, Use of Ingredients and Ease of Preparation. We want the idea to be something that anyone can duplicate!
- Winners will be announced on December 15th
Really, that’s it!
Now, let’s talk prizes!
1st prize will win a brand new 8GB iPad mini, in white.
2nd prize will win a $100 Amazon gift card
3rd prize will win a $50 Amazon gift card
We are SO excited to see what you smarty people come up with! It’s gonna be a lot of fun!
So put your thinking caps on and get ready for December 9th! We can’t wait!!





Thanks for visiting my blog! I realize you could be doing more important things with your time. Like watching the news or washing socks. I hope you stay awhile. Much more fun than socks, I promise. 





How fun is this??!!??!
um I don’t have a blog :( wish I could enter
I’m sorry!! I wish you could too!! Unfortunately there is no way to link up without an actual link, which means you have to have a blog. Shelly and I tried to find a way around it, but there just isn’t…people need a way to get to the recipe/instructions, ect. So sorry :(
I have a question, can UK readers enter?
Also, what if we don’t have a website to post on :(
I might bake something anyway! :D
Is this a within US competition only, or can people from outside participate as well?
International entries are totally welcome!!!
What a fabulous idea and what awesome prizes. Not sure if I’ll submit something but I’m certainly looking forward to seeing everyone’s original and creative ideas. This is going to fun for sure :)
I don’t have a blog either snif, snif :( I’m sad….buuuuu
This looks like an awesome contest!! :D

How fun!
No matter if some one searches for his vital thing, so he/she desires to be
available that in detail, so that thing is maintained
over here.
