Do You Have the Recipe for Sweet Success?

Break out the baking sheets, gather up those measuring cups and let the scents of the season fill your kitchen – the Holiday Dessert Recipe Contest is back.

The annual competition, which is part of the County’s Wellness Program, is a chance for those with a passion for cooking to showcase their talents to their colleagues.

“It’s a fun time of the year,” said Wellness Coordinator William Erese. “It’s a time where it’s ok to indulge in something sweet – just as long as you don’t overindulge.”

Employees are encouraged to whip up something fantastic – and low-calorie – and submit the recipe between Nov. 10 and Nov. 21. The top five recipes will be judged on Dec. 11 at the County Operations Center (COC) cafeteria.

Prizes, like a rolling tote bag and electric juicer, are awarded for various places.

The winner will get their delectable treat prepared and featured at the COC cafeteria as the “Recipe of the Day.”

Last year’s winner was Planning & Development Services accounting technician Natasha Garcia. She knocked out her 64 competitors with her Pear-Almond Clafouti.
