Dole California Cookoff Twitter Party

Appetizers. Eating smaller portions of food, such as appetizers, are a great way to eat healthier WITHOUT compromising on taste. Appetizers are not necessarily low-fat or low-calorie, but they are smaller servings. So in keeping with that theme, Dole has decided to host the 2nd Annual California Cookoff and fly three contestants to Los Angeles to a Cook Off judged by Celebrity Chef Ben Ford. In addition to the trip, the winning recipe will receive a cash award of $10,000 and two runners ups will receive $1,000. Then they are also choosing one additional winner to simply judge the contest with Chef Ben Ford.

Make sure to enter the Dole CA Cookoff for your chance to win!!!
