LDS Living Staff - October 04, 2012

Hold on to your hats. For the first time in "LDS Living Cooks" history, we're all whole-heartedly recommending recipes to you. These were all a success - and we hope for your sakes that you'll make them, too!

These recipes come from the cooking section we published in our September/October 2012 issue (find out more). We also ran the recipes online: Fall Recipes from Our Best Bites. Read our reviews (as well as a few tricks) below.

Butternut Squash Pasta with Pumpkin Sauce

Online Editor

Winner, winner, fall food dinner! This recipe needs to be on your list of meals to make this season. The blend of squash, pumpkin, sage, and bacon - it's like my fall Pinterest board exploded in my mouth. Don't skimp on the bacon (adding a little more wouldn't hurt) because it's the key ingredient to tying all of the flavors together. Everyone in my family loved it, including the picky eaters, and it only took about an hour from start to finish to make.

{Food Dish} Contest: Best Party Food Recipe

LDS Living - August 08, 2012

Send us your best party food recipes for the chance to win LDS Living's Best Party Food Contest, a $100 gift certificate, and be published in an upcoming issue of LDS Living! Remember our cookie contest? The winner (Lemon Crinkle Cookies) continues to be one of LDS Living's most popular online posts every week. Since it seems people enjoy a good recipe, and with the holidays just around the corner (with lots of "parties for hosting"), we're looking for the best party foods. This means any type of finger food or appetizer (please, no desserts).

Here are the rules (you must abide by each for your recipe to be considered):

1) Recipes must be original. As delicious as you find Martha Stewart's meatball recipe, we can't consider it. And don’t simply change the name—just as you wouldn’t want someone else to claim work that is yours, please do not claim someone else’s as your own. (If you found a recipe and tweaked it beyond recognition, you can submit that as your own. Family recipes are also acceptable.)

2) Submit the recipe with your full name, e-mail address, home city and state, and a valid daytime phone number by Friday, September 7, 2012. (LDS Living will use this information only to get a hold of you in the event that you win; we will not use it for marketing or other purposes.)

If you have a photo of the food, please submit it, but photos are not required.

E-mail recipes to editor[at]ldsliving[dot]com. (E-mail the editor.)

We will be testing the recipes after we receive them. The winner will receive a $100 gift certificate to Deseret Book and will be featured along with the runners-up in the recipe section of LDS Living magazine's holiday issue!
