Blueberry Brunch Cheesecake
"This Blueberry Brunch Cheesecake is so unique and delicious, with its scrumptious waffle crust, creamy, sweet and savory filling, and absolutely heavenly crumb topping, you'll have your guests lined up at your door every Sunday for this fabulous brunch creation!" - Nancy A.
Garam Masala Dark Chocolate Cupcakes
"When working on desserts I like to bring something unexpected, as in this cupcake using Garam Masala seasoning." - Brenda Washnock
Peaches N’ Sour Cream Pound Cake Bread Pudding
"This recipe uses prepared pound cake and sour cream to create a dessert that has all the comfort and ease of a traditional bread pudding with the richness and taste of a new but elegant dessert." - Greg Buerger
Southern Gentleman's Grilled Cheese Sandwich
"During a grilled cheese date night battle, my husband wanted a grilled cheese with pulled pork, so I made it, but I added something special... cherry bourbon jam." - Amy Freeze
Blackened New York Steak with Sweet Potato Butter
"This is a great steak for a quick steak night with family, no grill required. Blackened spice has rich flavor and a touch of sweet with the butter! Yummy in your tummy!" - Jasmin Stewart-Harbin
Blazin' BBQ Traditional Red Chili
"I'm quite the "Chili Head" known locally as having the ability to eat nuclear waste, needless to say, I like it hot. As to not kill my friends and family, or judges, I seek that perfect medium, that most everyone likes." - Lori Frazee
Bacon Shrimp & Tomato Salad on Garlic Bacon Toast
"Who doesn’t love the smell of cooking bacon, that nice crisp salty meaty flavor that reminds us of Sunday morning brunch & the iconic BLT. Spending much of my life on the coast I am lucky enough to have access to sweet succulent shrimp so I decided why not combine my two favorites. I used bacon lardoons in the shrimp salad, sliced crispy on the sandwich & toasted bread in garlic infused bacon grease. This decadent sandwich does have a cool crisp side with sweet cherry tomatoes, savory scallions & fresh crisp parsley that all complement the bacon & marry it to the briny sweet shrimp." - Andreann Geise
Sirloin and Pork Burger with Blue Cheese Slaw
"This burger has multiple elements of huge flavor - the burger itself made with both beef and pork, the blue cheese slaw and smoky shoepeg corn. You'll want to make this at your next BBQ and wow your guests." - Shea Goldstein
Caprese and Shrimp Cocktail Sandwich
"I got inspired by shrimp cocktail. Since shrimp and avocado are a perfect marriage, I added avocado, tomato and then got an inspiration - mozzarella cheese since I love Caprese! - Hidemi Walsh
Chorizo, Bacon Cheddarburger
"BOOM! That sound you just heard was a flavor bomb going off in your mouth after your first bite of this awesome burger. This is the ultimate of burgers incorporating spicy, tangy, smooth, cool and crunchy all in each bite. It's a two-handed, multi-napkin burger that everyone will love." - George Levinthal
Seared Cod with Cilantro Lime Rice
"This dish tastes as good as it looks. The char flavor on the seared cod gives a nice nod to the slightly spicy southwestern sauce accented by the cilantro and lime flavors of the rice." - John Barnes
"Three Amigos Chili"
"This chili is by far the best I have ever had! I am not being biased either, I really love chili and have had all different kinds. It's unique in the fact that it had 3 meats, 3 veggies and 3 beans. Also, the beef in au jus is the kicker!" - Darci Bos
"Dutch Apple Baby with Blackberry Hoisin Bacon"
"This sweet and savory breakfast can also be served as a sideboard brunch dish or as the main event at dinner! Served with additional blackberry syrup and a piping hot cup of coffee; the recipe is scrumptious." - Rebecka Evans
Cookies Caliente with Salty-Sweet Lime Drizzle
"This is a beautiful cookie that is literally a flavor burst in your mouth. They are addictive! This cookie along with the other two recipes is what propelled me to become the World Dessert Champion. YES this IS different but when you're competing you have to have something different. A whole lot of folks sure liked them. I hope you do too." - Nancy Judd
Yellow Polka Dot Zucchini Side
"The Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini song is one of my favorites... so I always think of zucchini when I hear it and it gave me the inspiration for this light side dish salad... perfect any time of year. The fresh corn kernels are the 'yellow polka dots' for the zucchini. - Lori McLain
