At home chefs, and fun loving foodies are invited to join Adam Gertler in the Hungry Jack ‘Use Up the Box’ Recipe and Essay Contest. Adam is challenging you to create and submit a photo and essay of your original or non-traditional recipe using Hungry Jack® pantry staples like potatoes, pancakes or syrup. There will be three grand prize winners who will each receive a year’s worth of free groceries! Sounds like a great prize to me.

The Hungry Jack ‘Use Up the Box’ Recipe Challenge Contest is open to US residents over 18 years of age, and will be judged on the following criteria: creativity, taste, ease of preparation, appearance, and nutritional balance.

You can find the official rules and some creative recipes and tips from Adam Gertler to inspire you, visit UseUpTheBox.com.

So what recipes can you come up with using your Hungry Jack® Potatoes, Pancake Mix or Syrup? I have a yummy recipe from Hungry Jack to get your creative juices flowing.

It’s time to show some hometown pride with the Steak-umm “Hometown Burger” recipe contest sponsored by Quaker Maid Meats. Simply use a special local food in a dish built around Steak-umm Burgers. Who knows – maybe you’ll invent the next Philly cheese steak! Each entry will be judged on originality, taste, visual appeal, creative pairing of your hometown ingredient with the Steak-umm product, and the extent to which the recipe brings out the essence of the local cuisine.

The grand prize is a Weber Q 100 Liquid Propane Gas Grill – just in time for summer barbecuing. The two runners-up will receive a 10” limited-edition Steak-umm frying pan.

The contest runs through June 15. Winners will be selected by June 25. Recipes can be submitted to hometownburgercontest@sspr.com with the subject line ‘Hometown Burger Contest.’
