READ & Aunt Nellie’s Parade of Pies Recipe Contest

Sweet or savory. . . One crust or two. . . Oversized or hand-held. . . It doesn’t matter. EVERYONE loves a pie! That’s why READ and Aunt Nellie’s are calling on YOU to create the best original pie recipes using one or more of our products. Give us your best pie, tart, galette, croustade, crostata, or turnover recipes and you might be one of our four winners in the READ & Aunt Nellie’s Parade of Pies Recipe Contest.

How to Enter

The rules are simple: submit an original pie recipe that is either sweet or savory. Each recipe can contain no more than 12 ingredients. Salt, pepper, water and READ or Aunt Nellie’s products don’t count towards the total. You can enter more than one recipe, but each can only be entered once. 

Prizes!

Four winners will be announced on March 14 (Pi Day, 3.14. get it?) and will receive $500, a family pack of READ Salads and Aunt Nellie’s products and the recognition they deserve on all our social media platforms! Each winning recipe will be professionally photographed and prominently featured on either the READ Salads and Aunt Nellie’s website, Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest pages.

Inspiration from an Influencer

Pies can be both a work of art and a source of pure culinary pleasure for Mackenzie Smith, better known as food influencer, Grilled Cheese Social, and two-time Food Network Champ. I mean, just look at her Pickled Beet, Sweet Potato & Goat Cheese Hand Pie recipe. They’re beautiful to serve your family and friends, yet easy as pie to make.
But now it’s your turn. We can’t wait to see what you create next!

Aunt Nellie’s Versatility

We’ve been America’s favorite brand of jarred beets for more than 90 years, so please excuse us for being a little obsessed with the wonder-veggie. Here are the top 6 reasons we think beets are a winning ingredient:

CONVENIENT – No steaming, boiling or roasting required!

VERSATILE – There aren’t many types of dishes where beets can’t fit! We even have recipes where beets fill in for meat!

ECONOMICAL – All Aunt Nellie’s products are affordable and easy to stock in your pantry

DELICIOUS – Beets can add bold or subtle flavor to many a recipe

COLORFUL – That iconic beet red adds a splash of sunshine to every dish
