It's time again! What time? Time to get your creative thinking caps (or chef hats) on, because the 44th Annual Pillsbury Bake-Off is here! The deadline for recipe submissions is April 20, 2009, so you've got over 90 days to come up with a brilliant original recipe. The categories this time are Breakfast and Brunches, Entertaining Appetizers, Dinner Made Easy and Sweet Treats. Be sure to check out the web site for all the rules.
$1 million cookie!
The $1 million winning recipe in the last contest was the Double-Delight Peanut Butter Cookie submitted by Carolyn Gurtz from Maryland.
Last time, 2 years ago, SisMama and I entered the contest with a few original recipes of our own, and although neither of us made the finals, it was great fun! It was the first time either of us had entered, so this time we should have a little better idea of how the contest works and how the recipes need to be submitted. Hopefully we learned a little from the experience, and will do better this year. SisMama and all you cooks and bakers out there…start your ovens! Don't be intimidated by the number of entries the contest will get or by the enormity of this competition. Someone has to win, and it may as well be you! You could be the winner of ONE MILLION DOLLARS! Now get in that kitchen and rattle those pots and pans!

My sister and I would love to enter one of your bake offs. How do we go about it, since we did not meet the April 2009 deadline.

Hi Flo! Thanks for coming by! You’re right that April 2009 was the deadline for the Pillsbury Bake-Off. There are lots of other cooking contests that you can enter though. I would recommend going to Cooking Contests Central at http://www.recipecontests.com/ for info on all of the current contests. You will need to subscribe to the site, but it is a small amount of money very well spent! Good luck!

We are so excited about our recipe. “It is to die for”.

I’m organizing a Chocolate Chip Cookie Bake-Off at work. We will be eating the cookies at our Company Picnic in July. Any tips on how to organize it or entice people to participate?? We will judge for the best of course.
