Dear Reader,
Thumb through your recipe box, dust off your notebook and enter the annual Write a Dear Reader Contest. This year's theme: "Behind every recipe there's a story!" makes it easy for everyone to enter.
You don't have to be a writer. Simply share one of your favorite recipes and then tell us the story behind it. Is the recipe a family favorite that's been handed down through the generations? Did your grandmother teach you how to make it? Tell us the story. Maybe your chicken salad recipe was your mother's favorite, and now every time you make it you think about Mom. The story doesn't even have to be about the recipe, it could be about what happened when you made the recipe. Make us laugh and cry, don't leave anything out. Open up and share your feelings. Let the story come from your heart.
Two Grand Prize winners and four Runner-Ups will be chosen. If you've read my book, Muffins and Mayhem: Recipes for a Happy (if disorderly) Life, you'll already be in the groove to enter the contest.
