Thanks to all those who entered the SparkRecipes Un-Chained Recipe Contest. The contest ended on Monday night, but the fun is just beginning! We had more than 40 entries, from fast food and casual restaurants. Fast food breakfast meals and casual dining salad monstrosities were among the more popular foods to be made over. We can't wait to get started and try these dishes. But first, we need your help. Much of my day has been spent going through each recipe and starting to choose semi-finalists. With so many great entries, it's a tough job! While the SparkPeople team will make the final decision on the winners, we need you to aid us in our mission by voting on the ones you like. All you have to do is head over to SparkRecipes and rate the recipes. (Use this link to see all the entries.) You have until Nov. 13 to vote. Usually, we request that you make recipes before rating them on SparkRecipes. This time, we know you don't have time to try them all. Read through them, and decide which ones look best. Vote as one--or more. (If you do try them, let us know!) Did they capture the essence of the original recipe? Leave out a key ingredient? Forget a step in the directions or include an ingredient you can't find near you? Let us (and them) know in the comments. Be nice, but be honest. The 10 semifinalists will get $25 to spend on SparkPeople merchandise in the SparkPeoplestore. Two lucky winners (one each in fast food and casual dining) will get a Vita-Mix 5200 blender, worth $450.  Thanks for helping us choose the winners of the SparkRecipes Un-Chained Recipe Contest. We've had plenty of fun planning and executing this contest, and we'd like to sponsor more contests in the future. SparkPeople employees can't enter or win (our prize is working here), so we'd like to hear from you: What types of recipe contests would you like to see on SparkRecipes and the dailySpark? What could we do to improve the contests? What prizes would you like to win? Share your thoughts in the comments below. |
