iParenting's Sandwiches and Wraps Contest
Based on the top recipes of 2007, the iParenting community loves its sandwiches. Do you have a secret ingredient for your roast beef sandwich that has them lining up for seconds? Is your baked hoagie the talk of the neighborhood? Can't visit the in-laws without bringing your famous pita pocket filling? We want to know what you love between two slices of bread – or in a tortilla, flatbread, pita pocket or other medium of choice!
Send your favorite sandwich recipe to contests@iparenting.com by March 9, 2008. Include all ingredients, instructions and serving suggestions in an e-mail text message. If you have a photo of the finished product, attach it as a .jpg or .gif file. Entries will be judged on taste, appearance and creativity. By submitting your entry, you grant iParenting all rights to the recipe. Contest void where prohibited and open to continental United States residents only. Prizes will arrive six to eight weeks after winners are announced. All prizes subject to change. Judges' decisions are final.
Every winner will receive a Hope for a Cure Candle from Every Body, which supports the fight against breast cancer, and one of the following prizes:
