Write a Recipe Contest Entries & Winners

11/30/2020

0 Comments

 
Drum roll please... it's time to announce the winners of NMPL's Write Your Own Recipe contest! Patron's submitted recipes in four categories: 6 and under, 7 - 12, Teen, and Adult.

We had so many delicious sounding (and humorous!) recipes that it was definitely tricky to narrow down the winners. But here they are at last! Congratulations to: Hadley Pyle, for the Chocolate Cake with Flowers On It recipe; Kaylee Metzger for the Speedy Southwest Salad recipe; Wynter Harris for the Extra Special Crescent Rolls recipe; and Kim Ebersole for the Heart Italian Sausage Soup recipe! (You know if you make all those recipes, you have your salad, side, main dish and desert all sorted! Dinner tonight?)

The winners received a set of Silicone Muffin Molds, a Danish Dough Whisk, a Mixing Bowl, Salt & Pepper Shakers (donated by The Wood Shed in Wabash), and a Wooden Sign (pictured). Prizes can be picked up via curbside!

Scroll down to check out some of the other incredible entries and to hopefully get some recipe inspiration while you're at it!
