Healthy Holidays 2010: Dessert Recipe Contest

Posted by healthy1 | Contests | Thursday 11 November 2010 10:19 pm

Do you have a signature dessert? Because it’s so good, does everyone expect you to bring it to the holiday party every year? Well, here’s your opportunity to make all those hours hand-whisking homemade whipped cream work for you. This holiday season, Healthline.com is offering great prizes for the best original holiday dessert recipes.

Just type up your recipe and submit it here. Your original recipe can be anything served for desert: tarts, cookies, cakes, pies, fruit salads, or soufflés.

There’s only one catch: your recipe has to be healthy (or at least healthier than the standard holiday fare).

The public will vote on the recipes to determine the five finalists. Then, Healthline’s team of judges—including a nutritionist and food professionals—will test and try the five top recipes and score them in three different categories: Taste, Creativity, and Healthfulness.

The grand prize winner will receive a $100 Amazon.com gift certificate, and one runner-up will win a $50 Amazon.com gift certificate. Enter here by November 30 for your chance to win!
