So, it stands to reason, that I really love today’s post.

The one where I tell y’all about a Recipe Contest that the Cherry Marketing Institute is having right now.  The one where 3 people are going to win $500, a set of high performance cookware in CHERRY RED and have a professional food photographer photograph their recipe.

um… why are you still here?

You should be here entering the contest or in your kitchen creating a recipe for the contest because it’s kind of awesome!! The contest is open until February 20th so — get movin’!

Now, not everyone can create an award winning recipe, so — I have another opportunity for you to win some pretty cherry red items, too.

    I love fresh cherries, but devil’s food cake made with cherry pie filling is delicious as well!

    I’m not a big fan of cherries once they are cooked. I prefer them dried or right off the stem. So, my favorite recipes with them are dried and put in a cookie or trail mix and right off the stem and into a salad or on top of ice cream. :)

    I love using cherries in a loaf bread, I actually sub the cherries in my blueberry bread recipe. Very cakelike bread, that I secretly eat for breakfast! So funny I have had cherries on the brain! Thanks for sharing!

    Cherry dump cake–you know the basic can of cherry pie filling then top with a white cake mix and butter–oh yum- topped with vanilla ice cream when it is warm. Can’t be anything better than that and so easy!!!

  10. I just blogged about my newly found love for all things red in the kitchen. So, yes please! My favorite is actually my mom’s recipe for cherry soup. Yep, soup! It’s a Hungarian recipes using sour cherries. Growing up, we had a sour cherry tree in our back yard. Aaaand, a lot of stomach aches from, you know, eating too many ;) Thanks for sharing!!!!
