We are happy to annouce the three winners of our July 2009 Recipe Challenge. The 1st prize winner gets a $100 gift card and the 2nd and 3rd get a $50 gift card each courtesy of Almondina Cookies which you definitely should pick up on your next trip to Trader Joes. Now here are our winners...

UFOs in the Clouds. The only place these puppies will be flying is in your mouth. Minty dark chocolate with sweet vanilla meringue. So simple, so incredibly fancy and delicious. Thank you to runaround sous, our winner!

We'll let the 2nd place winner describe Almondina Blueberry Crumble. "This unusual pie features a crunchy crust full of the flavors of almonds and raisins, a juicy filling of flavorful blueberries and a buttery topping of more Almondina cookies and almonds." We couldn't agree more. Well done Pua.

 

After all these sweet treats, have some Low Fat Sweet and Spicy Quesadillas to keep your beach bod in check. Smoky peach salsa, low fat whole wheat tortillas, Laughing Cow cheese and low fat mozzarella make a winning combination. Thanks soviets.
