Months ago I saw a call in one of Pillsbury’s newsletters for the opportunity to become a Pillsbury Crescents Ambassador. I thought, “Why not? I’ve always loved Pillsbury Crescents!” So I went online and filled out the application, hit submit, and then promptly forgot about it. About a month later, on June 14th, I got a phone call from someone on the campaign team saying that I had been picked out of the 3,600 applicants to go into the pool being considered for one of 4 final positions. I had to submit 2 original recipes using Pillsbury Crescents, along with some additional information. Then on June 30th I was notified that I had been picked as one of 12 semi-finalists! I was on pins and needles for the next few weeks, and then on July 16th I heard that I was picked as one of 4 Pillsbury Crescent Ambassadors. I’ve been dying to share every since, but have had to keep it quiet until the whole campaign went live . . . TODAY!!!
So here’s the deal—there are 4 of us who were picked, but we are all now going to be competing against each other to be named the public’s favorite Crescent Cook and for the chance to win $5,000. I need YOUR help! It is up to the public to choose the ultimate winner. My first recipe is live and ready for you to print off and try out. Go on over to get a little taste of the Mediterranean with my recipe for Greek Salad Pizza.
While you are there I would love it if you would throw a vote in for me! When you vote, you’ll also be entered to win your own cash prize of $5,000 in the “My Crescent Wow” Sweepstakes! You can vote (and be entered in the Sweepstakes) every day! For more info about the sweepstakes, me, my recipes and to vote, please visit: MyCrescentWow.com
