Pillsbury 44th Bake-Off: You Be the Judge! AND my First Giveaway


For the first time in the 60 year history of the Pillsbury Bake-Off YOU can help determine recipes that are going to compete for the $1 million grand prize!

Judges originally selected 20 recipes that are being placed online at www.bakeoff.com in pairs for a period of two weeks. At this point, there are three pairs of recipes left to vote on. Right now you can cast your vote for either Pizza Pretzels or Tangy Honey Ham Hoagie. Additional recipes will be posted on 9/3 and 9/17. The recipe from each pair that wins the most votes will earn a spot in the final competition, to be held April 11-13 2010, in Orlando, Florida! To learn more and cast your votes visit www.bakeoff.com!!

If you have a minute, watch this short video of Jann Atkins, Bake-Off Kitchens assistant manager, as she shares some tips for evaluating a recipe.

In honor of the Bake-Off would you like to win a prize? I am giving away two packages that each will include a Pillsbury Doughboy giggle doll (yes he really does giggle!) and a magazine of past Bake-Off recipes. All you have to do is leave a comment and let me know what you think makes a winning recipe or if you have a past Bake-Off recipe favorite to share. You have until, Sunday August 30th at 5 p.m. EST to leave a comment. Please be sure to leave an email address if you do not have a blog.

My friends at MyBlogSpark are sponsoring this giveaway. If you are not familiar with them, be sure to check out their site. As a member of MyBlogSpark you can choose to receive information on topics and products based upon your interests. I have recently participated in helping to chose the next few covers of Betty Crocker recipe magazines and as a perk received copies of the final magazine.

I would think that a winning recipe is chosen based on many factors, such as taste, texture, appearance, how easy it is to follow, its universal appeal, and how easy it is to find the ingredients and equipment needed to make it! Thanks so much for this chance!

My favorite Pilsbury bake-off winner is an old recipe called Blueberry Boy Bait. Perfect for this time of year. I just found the recipe and have already made it twice. It's easy and delicious.
