HoundsGood: Chronicles of a Virtual Volunteer

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Mission Foods. All opinions are 100% mine.

Mission Foods is a proud supporter of Share Our Strength, a movement committed to stamp out childhood hunger.  Share Our Strength reaches out to communities by educating families on how to cook healthy, budget friendly meals, and assists local organizations that assist children and families concerning poverty related hunger issues.

What is the Mission Menus Challenge?  Aspiring chefs submit creative recipes incorporating Mission products. The stipulation? The recipe must include Mission Flour Tortillas, and in the spirit of Share Our Strength, the recipe must feed a family of 4 for $10 or less. With so many cooking challenges revolving around foods that require a large investment or that are not available everywhere geographically, it is refreshing to see. Perhaps the menus will also help families when the winning recipes are released to make a budget friendly nutritious meal for their families, and will choose homemade instead of fast food.

Winners will have a chance to compete in a Los Angeles cooking challenge hosted by Chef Sarah Moulton, whom you may know from the Food Network. Other prizes include a kitchen makeover. Submit your recipes starting TOMORROW, July 28, 2010. Entries must be received by August 9th.  To be eligible, entrants must be 18 years of age or older and be permanent legal residents of the United States, excluding territories.
