cooking contest - Send us your best recipe using fresh produce, and you could win $500!

With their bright colors and sun-drenched flavors, fruits and veggies picked at their prime make eating and cooking even more of a delight. Our next contest celebrates the incomparable taste of just-harvested tomatoes, berries, onions, spinach and all the other summer produce that fills backyard gardens, farmers markets and grocery stores this time of year.

No matter what the fruit or veggie, we want your very best garden-fresh recipes—the dishes family and friends request, the ones that knock their socks off! Whether it's sweet, savory, breakfast, dinner, dessert, or even a drink, we'd love to see it. It only takes a minute to enter our contest, but your recipe could live on in Taste of Home history!

We're looking for...

* Muffins, quick breads, pies and cakes featuring berries, rhubarb, zucchini, sweet potato, pumpkin and more
* Pancakes, eggs and French toast spiked with the fresh flavors of the season
* Appetizers and snacks that put produce center stage, such as stuffed tomatoes, summer squash tarts, and sweet pea and ricotta crostini
* Salads, soups and sides chock-full of herbs, greens, potatoes, green beans, strawberries and anything else that grows in your garden
* Entrees starring whatever crop you're up to your elbows in, from apples and beets to corn and carrots
* Drinks and desserts—hot or cold—that capitalize on sun-kissed ingredients ripe for the picking

cooking contest - Serve up your favorite healthy time-saving entree for a chance to win $600

Home cooks know that healthy meals aren't always the quickest or easiest to prepare. But those determined to dish up nutritious food for their families generally have a few go-to entrees they can rely on when time is tight.

Maybe it's a 30-minute recipe combining fresh ingredients with lightened-up convenience products. Maybe it's a lighter slow cooker dish that's all ready to serve when you get home at the end of a busy day, or a casserole that takes just a few minutes to put together but frees up time while it bakes. Or maybe it's a double recipe that makes two meals—one for tonight and another for the freezer and a later date. Whatever!

If you've got an especially delicious entree that's healthy, mouthwatering and super fast, we'd love to have you share it with us. And be sure to explain just how it saves time in your kitchen. Send us your very best recipes by November 15, 2011.

1st Prize: $600

2nd Prize: $400

3rd Prize: $200

Runners-up: A 1-year subscription or gift subscription to Healthy Cooking
