HOLIDAY LEFTOVER CHALLENGE

Oh man, this is some exciting news. It all started when the lovely people at Sam's Club approached me about hosting a recipe contest on my blog for the upcoming holiday season. Loving a good competition, though usually monumentally losing whenever I throw my hat in the ring, I sprung at the chance to wield a little power. Yes, I would be the decider. Prizes? There's prizes you say? Being new to this hosting thing, I figured the prize would be a Kitchy Kitchen Mug or me fulfilling a dare, like dressing as a turkey for the next Kitchy TV episode. Oh no, Sam's Club is hooking you up.  Look below at the glory:

That's right.  A commercial 5 series KitchenAid Mixer in lovely white enamel. How awesome is this?  High five Sam's Club.  Thank you!

So, regarding the rules of the competition, here is how it goes:

1. It's the Holiday Leftover Challenge! You may submit one recipe that utilizes holiday leftovers in a creative and delicious way. It's open ended so please have fun with it!

2. Competition entries are open on Friday, November 27th and close on Wednesday, December 9th.  Send your recipes with a brief explanation of the dish, and photos too if you like, to thekitchykitchen@gmail.com.

3. Using just cranberry sauce isn't going to garner you many points, but something unexpected and exciting will.  You can make any kind of dish: dessert, amuse bouche, entree, go crazy!

4. The winner will be announced on December 20th. The top three recipes will be featured on The Kitchy Kitchen and runners up will each be given a prize furnished by me.  Not a KitchenAid, but a little something to put under the tree.  

So drivers start your engines! I can't wait to see the creativity you guys are just waiting to unleash.  Good luck!
