The submissions are in for our Paleo Holiday Recipe Contest, and the results look totally and utterly scrumptious. There were over 130 recipes submitted for the contest – and now’s your chance to check them out. Voting commences at 1pm Eastern time on Monday and lasts 24 hours, and we’ll have another special post telling you how to vote for your favorite, but for now, browse and decide on your favorite recipe for each category.
Just as a reminder, the top 3 popular votes from each category will be given to our celebrity judges for a final test-tasting and to pick a winner for each category. Our 5 winners will be up for a “reader’s choice” award as well (another round of voting will happen for that one).
The prizes
The winner for each category will receive:
- A $25 gift certificate to Paleo Brands
- A $25 Amazon.com gift card
- A copy of Paleo Comfort Foods
And one overall Reader’s Choice winner will receive:
Le awesome, le infamous, LE CREUSET enameled cast iron French oven!
So here’s your chance – look these over and get your voting fingers ready to go. A post will go up Monday explaining what to do to vote. Shameless self-promotion is strongly encouraged. Thank you to all our participants, and I would like to come to your house for dinner, please and thanks!
Without further ado, here are our contestants for the Paleo Holiday Recipe Contest! Which is your favorite? Tell us in the comments!

Should we comment on the item we like or vote via comments on this post. Sorry to be dense!

Nevermind, I’m an imbecile. You were saying to indicate favorite, not vote, via comments.

Mushroom Potato Hash sounds really good.
