| If you have time on your hands over the holidays, you might want to pit your skills against other avocado lovers and create a short video that demonstrates your favorite way to enjoy the luscious green fruit (yes, avocados are a stone fruit—they grow on a tree, like peaches, plums and nectarines). You can create a half-time show, demonstrate your recipe, sing an avocado song or do “Romeo and Juliette” as avocados. The deadline to enter is January 8—so you can enjoy a lot of guacamole between now and then (and many other recipes that use avocado at AvocadoFiesta.com). If you have no creative talents, you can JUDGE and potentially win a cash prize. |
|
Will your avocado video score a touchdown…and $5,000? |
– The grand prize winner takes home $5,000.
– Four finalists win $1,000.
– All eligible entrants get a contest tee shirt.
– The VOTERS who vote for the winners are entered in a daily random drawing for $100. It’s about time the voters are eligible for something!

It may be a bleak holiday season with a lot of space in the stocking and under the tree, but if thoughts of a kitchen makeover would warm your hearth, you have until December 31, 2008 to enter the Pillsbury Make America Sweeter contest. Pillsbury invites you to share how you can make things a little sweeter with Pillsbury cake, brownies, quickbread, frostings or flours. You don’t have to submit a recipe—just share a story of 100 words or less and a photo or video that illustrates your story. The winner will receive a $5,000 kitchen makeover; runners-up will receive products from KitchenAid and Pillsbury. Perhaps best of all, a $5,000 donation will be made to Feeding America, to help feed Americans whose lives are truly bleak.
Submit your entry online at pillsburybaking.com/campaign.

| Wondering what to serve your guests for dessert on Christmas? Here, we have two holiday-themed cake recipes sure to impress. You can serve one on Christmas Eve and one Christmas Day.
The Black Forest Cake is a chocolate layer cake, with added layers of whipped cream and Kirsch-soaked morello cherries. The cake is then decorated with more whipped cream, morello or maraschino cherries, and chocolate curls or shavings. The cake layers are also soaked in a Kirsch syrup (although brandy or rum can be used). The spirits can also be omitted to make the cake more family-friendly.
The Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer Cake is sure to make ‘em smile when you bring it out. Each slice of this fun cake looks like Rudolph. In fact, don’t be surprised if everyone breaks into a chorus of Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer.
