It’s getting to that time of year when sun, beaches, barbeques, dresses, and sandals dominate and snow, coats, jackets, mittens, and umbrellas cower. Personally, all I gotta say is Woo-Hoo!!! Hello sunshine and goodbye dreary days!

One thing I think of when it comes to fun in the sun is good fresh food! And berries always TOP my list. Hence, the GGB Summer Challenge is getting berryific!

Entry Deadline for the SUMMER Challenge: July 31st

Challenge: Berry Blasting Bonanza!!!

Basically, anything your healthy heart desires … made with berries! And ANY kind of berry!!! No discrimination here. YOU choose!

Blueberries
Raspberries
Blackberries
Strawberries
Boysenberries
Cranberries

Did I miss any? If so, let me know! But, you get the point! Berry away your recipes and send ‘em on in to GGB! Yay! And remember, your recipe doesn’t have to be Top Chef style–it can be, but doesn’t have to be–just make sure it’s GGB healthifying style!

Alright Green Grapes Blog (GGB) readers—it’s time to up the health ante! We talk about leading a more healthifying lifestyle here at GGB, but as your momma told you, actions speak louder than words. Hence, it’s time to join the GGB Nutrition Challenge!

What’s the GGB Nutrition Challenge?

Each month, GGB invites you to send healthy recipes based on the month’s challenge, complete with a list of ingredients and step-by-step preparation directions. Each recipe must be accompanied by a single photograph of the fully prepared item (check out an example from the Food Network and use the form on the “Challenge” page as a guide). If you know your recipe’s nutrition information, please send that as well.

You can submit as many times as you want until the last day of each month, when three finalists will be chosen based on their recipe’s healthfulness, tastiness, and relevance to the month’s challenge. If you become a finalist, your recipe will be posted on the “Finalists” page, where GGB readers will have one week to vote for the winning recipe.

If you win a challenge, you will be notified via e-mail and have your recipe permanently featured on the “Stars” page (along with your blog or website name, if you’ve got one). Each winner will also receive a prize.

Did You Say Prize!?!?

Yes—I did. Prizes will vary each month but will always be something healthifying!!!

One More Thing

Lastly, I must say, this is the blog of a gal who mainly cooks with a skillet and only a skillet–so don’t feel as if your recipe must be Top Chef style–it can be, but doesn’t have to be–just make sure it’s GGB healthifying style!

Check out the GGB Nutrition Challenge page to learn more and read the official rules!

Happy Healthifying!

Can’t wait to see your recipes!
