Holiday time is upon us and it’s time to think about cooking (and eating) in massive quantities. Laura & I have already begun our T-Day meal planning - as we’ll be hosting our first formal gathering in our new home. And boy oh boy are we trying to make sure we plan ahead as much as possible.

So, that got me thinking about all the recipes out there and some of my favorite chilehead creations - and since it’s ThanksGIVING - we’ve decided to make the contest that much more interesting.

Guidelines:
- All entries must be received by 11/17 (midnight) - Entries need to be sent to nick ‘at’ hotsauceblog.com
- All entires must include a recipe & instructions +a photo of the final dish
- To be considered for entry, each submission must be chilehead in nature - i.e. it must contain any of the following: peppers, dried peppers, hot sauce, bbq sauces, salsa, extract ect… But that does not mean the final dish has to be super spicy.
- ANYONE can enter.
- Winners will be announced the week of 11/19 - before Thanksgiving, so that HSB readers can use the recipes for their holiday dinner if they wish.

Prizes:
1^st Place: $100 Cash (or Gift Card of choice) and $100 to the charity of winners choice
2^nd Place: $50 Cash (or Gift Card of choice) and $50 to the charity of winners choice

That’s it! Have fun and be creative - and if there are any questions, please let me know. Happy cooking!
