44th Pillsbury Bake-Off® Contest--You Be The Judge


For the first time in the contest´s 60-year history, Pillsbury has opened up online voting to determine 10 recipes among the final 100 that will compete for the $1 million grand prize! MyBlogSpark has sent a special invitation for Thoughts From The Kitchen readers to participate and chance to win prize packs featuring a magazine of past Bake-Off® recipes and a Pillsbury Doughboy giggle doll! (hmm hmmmm)

How does the You Be the Judge! voting work? Judges will select 20 recipes to be placed online at www.bakeoff.com in pairs for a period of two weeks for each pair. Consumers can vote for their favorite recipe in each pair. The recipe from each pair that wins the most votes will earn a spot in the final competition, April 11-13, 2010, in Orlando, Florida. Voting is limited to one vote per person per each pair of recipes. Voters must be registered members of www.pillsbury.com and 18 years of age or older as of May 1, 2009, to participate. The first pair of recipes was posted on May 14, 2009 and a new pair of recipes will be posted every two weeks (namely, May 28, June 11, June 25, July 9, July 23, August 6, August 20, September 3 and September 17, 2009). The voting period for the tenth and final pair of recipes will close at 11:59AM CDT on October 1, 2009. Visit www.bakeoff.com for the official rules.

WHAT DO YOU THINK MAKES A WINNING RECIPE? To enter for your chance to win a prize pack all you have to do is send in what you think truly makes a winning recipe. You may respond in the comments section of this post. There is no wrong answer. We all have our own ideas about what makes a recipe special. Some may think its the best quality ingredients, while others may think its one that has been handed down from generation-to-generation. Two lucky TFK Readers will be selected at random to receive Pilsbury Prize Packs courtesy of MyBlogSpark. Entry deadline is Friday May, 12th. Winners will be announced the following Monday.

I can't wait to hear your answers.

I think that the best recipes are ones that have been taste tested by people I trust and love!~
