44th Pillsbury Bake-Off Contest Offers Top Prize of $1 Million
If you've got an original recipe that will fit into one of four categories and uses at least two of the eligible products as ingredients, you could win up to $1 million in Pillsbury's 44th Annual Bake-Off Contest. Think about one of those times when you had to put together a meal or a dish from what you could find in your refrigerator or pantry—many times some pretty good eating comes from those impromptu moments. Or maybe you have a family recipe that's been handed down and could be made with at least two of the eligible products as ingredients. Now is the time to have a culinary brainstorm if there ever was one!Who Is Eligible to Enter the Pillsbury Bake-Off Contest?

$1 million is a helluva motivation to dig up Grandma's old recipes. We get Pillsbury in the UK, but no prizes like that!
I saw this on the food channel. Wow!
I had no idea the Bake-Off was still going strong. Tantalizing!
Thanks for the reminder! (^;^) I am registered at the Pillsbury website, but hadn't visited it in awhile. I had forgotten about the Bake-Off coming up and after reading this I'm already cranking recipes around in my head. I did enter my sugar cookie crust fruit pizza recipe one year with no luck. Then again, maybe this year? . . .
Very informative and clearly explained. I've seen some of the finalists in years passed, and YUM! I'd love to be a judge. ;-)
Nicely written :)
The prizes are certainly an incentive!
Interesting :)
Not much of a baker, but I agree this would be a fun opportunity for other bakers.
Patricia and all: 100 semi-finalists will be chosen who will all win a trip to Orlando, Florida in April 2010 for what I envision is the actual "bake-off."
