We are happy to announce the three winners of our October 2009 Recipe Challenge. Thank you for all the terrific submissions! Try out these fabulous winners...   

Pesto Chicken Risotto OK, so risotto does take some time and attention, but this recipes does half the work for you. With the chopped onion and Pesto Genovese chicken, you are halfway there. Serve it with a salad and you have a quite fancy dinner, if I have to say so myself. No one will ever know how quick and easy your risotto really was. Thanks TJsGirl.

Pear, Brie and Pancetta Flatbread Pizza Fancy Schmancy! Pear, brie, pancetta, arugula? wowza.... this is one sophisticated pizza but wait, 6 ingredients? Awesome! The flavors truly come together. Mangia, mangia....Thanks heydella.

Sauteed Mushroom and Caramelized Onion Pizza. Yes, another pizza, but really, really good. Why not make several pizzas to suit the whole family's taste. Trader Joe's makes it so easy with the ready made pizza doughs and endless ingredients. Yum. Thanks llichef.
