Butter up your holidays with a recipe contest

Each Christmas season seems to bring with it a variety of rich and delicious recipes - at dinners, potlucks, parties and on goodie trays.

Since some of us will likely whip up something buttery, I'll share the following "Butter Up the Holidays Recipe Contest."

Just submit your original recipe, and make sure the required ingredient, butter, makes the dish sing. You could win a $150 shopping spree to Fred Meyer, and the "Best in Show" winner receives a kitchen appliance, such as a stove or refrigerator. See details below.

Good luck!

"Butter is an essential ingredient during the holiday season, adding delectable richness to an already indulgent time" said Pete Kent, executive director of the Dairy Farmers of Oregon. "The Butter Betties and the Oregon Dairy Farmers of Oregon are excited to see how butter is incorporated into a variety of foods from a variety of people - from home cooks to foodies to experienced chefs."

The grand prize winners will receive a $150 shopping spree to Fred Meyer and an overall "Best In Show" award winner will also receive a major kitchen appliance (refrigerator, stove or freezer).
