Crisco Mediterranean Inspirations Recipe and Essay Contest + Crisco Prize Pack Giveaway

It has always been a dream of mine to go to Italy. My husband and I absolutely adore Italian food, and make our own versions all the time. Would you like the chance to go to Italy? Now, through March 18th, Crisco is inviting home cooks to submit their favorite recipes in the Crisco Mediterranean Inspirations Recipe and Essay Contest for the chance to win a trip for two to Italy. To get me and my readers inspired, they sent this amazing Prize Pack.

Prize Pack Includes:

• William Sonoma Marche’ Pasta Bowls, set of 4
• Three Crisco Olive Oils and Recipe Cards
• Salt Pig with Scoop
• Crate & Barrel Bamboo 12″ Spoon
• Crate & Barrel Herb Scissors
• Herbs of Tuscany Herb Kit

Want to know how to Win A Trip To Italy? Submit your recipe, with an essay in 100 words or less describing how Crisco Olive Oil inspired your recipe, for your chance to win. Recipes should include one of the three Crisco Olive Oil varieties: Crisco 100% Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Crisco Pure Olive Oil or Crisco Light Olive Oil; plus, two ingredients commonly used in Mediterranean-style cooking, including tomatoes, garlic, olives, pasta, yogurt, legumes, fresh herbs, lentils or cheese.
