Winter Recipe Contest Results
Thank you to our winter 2013 recipe contest finalists for their delicious and creative submissions. Congratulations to the winning recipe, Ham and Greens Cornbread Dressing.
Notes from the Cuisinart Chefs
Comforting and rustic, this side dish would be a wonderful addition to any holiday or Sunday dinner table. Sweet golden raisins and crunchy pecans are a surprising complement to salty ham and collard greens. We love that most of the prep work can be done with a few pulses in a Cuisinart food processor.
The Salmon Burgers are chock-full of bright, crisp vegetables like red bell pepper, scallion, carrot and ginger. Combined with cubes of fresh salmon, these are burgers that you can feel good about feeding your family.
Quick to prepare, Crispy Crunchy Croutonsare a clever way to utilize any day-old bread you may have on hand. Seasoned with dried herbs and spices, these are versatile as a garnish for soups, salads, as a casserole topping or in a savory bread pudding.
Thanks to all of those who submitted recipes and again, congratulations to our winner. We enjoyed tasting these and look forward to the next batch of contestants.

(submitted by AmyInCA on 02/20/2011)
If you love Tiramisu, you’ve got to try these Mocha Tiramisu Cupcakes. The chocolate cupcake itself is moist, with a lovely mocha flavor and a hint of Kahlua. The espresso-Kahlua syrup really did wonders to the cupcakes. The Mascarpone frosting is light, creamy, smooth and fluffy.

Crabmeat & Latke Eggs Benedict
(submitted by Iris M. on 01/02/2011)
To me, there's nothing better than a great breakfast. For the home cook, making breakfast at home doesn't mean you have to sacrifice quality or elegance. You can not only be creative and use elements that aren't traditionally used for breakfast, but you can have fun with the ingredients as well.
