A few posts ago, I wrote about a great recipe contest we were running, sponsored by ConAgra Foods Canada Inc.—the makers of those extra yummy VH Sauces.
YMC members re-invented their favourite comfort food recipes, using at least one VH Sauce. They were asked to submit their updated recipes, accompanied by a photograph of the prepared dish, for their chance to win an All-Clad Stainless Steel 10-piece Cookware Set, valued at $1,450!
You can imagine just how difficult it was for our panel of judges to choose the top three recipes, since they all sounded so yummy! Our judges included Karen Humphrey, our Food Editor, and representatives from VH. By using their expertise in food, our panel was able to make their decisions based on taste, originality, appeal, and creative use of a VH Sauce.
Eva Fong, from Burnaby, BC, won for her 5 Spice Scallop Tacos Recipe.
Dawna Ferguson, from Nanaimo, BC, won for her Spicy Thai Chili Lime Dressing Recipe.
Vikki Knapp, from Calgary, AB, won for her Asian 5 Spice Pork and Brandied Pear Recipe.
Congratulations to our winners, and thanks to everyone who entered and shared their yummy recipes!
Wondering what you should make for dinner tonight? If you'd like to try these recipes please just click on them for all the yummy details.
One more thing, I shouldn't write about food when I'm hungry. I'm truly salivating!

Inspired by this success, I started my own freelance writing business, Young Mum Freelance. I write resumes, cover letters, speeches, blog posts, and perform various other editing and writing services for a cost. This has enabled me to stay at home with my three-year-old daughter, Cailena, and my three-month-old daughter, Chloe, while my husband works a variety of shifts as a Firefighter/EMT.

You Go Girl!
100 Mummies were sent a free bottle of VIM PowerPro Naturals Product and were asked to clean and provide their honest feedback on the product tested. As a thank you, all mummies who submitted a review were entered to win $600.00 worth of in-home Maid Service!
The winner of this awesome prize is Aimee Perez, from Rosedale Valley, Alberta. " Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!" was all Aimee could say when she won. Aimee has two children under the age of three years old at home, so I think we can all understand why Aimee was so happy to win.
Congratulations Aimee on winning maid-service from VIM PowerPro Naturals. Enjoy your time with your family while someone else cleans!
And while we are saying thanks, I want to give a big thank YOU to all the moms who entered this contest.
