This post is sponsored by Dion's. Albuquerque Moms Blog strives to work with businesses we feel would benefit our readers.

The long days of summer are upon us, and if you are anything like me, you are always looking for easy ways to entertain the kids. Activities get extra bonus points in my book if they help cultivate creativity and include some hidden learning. One of our summer go-tos is cooking or baking. My children love helping out in the kitchen!

A local ABQ fave, Dion’s, is currently hosting their 2019 Recipe Contest. This recipe contest is a fun way to get you and your kids in the kitchen, turn on your creative thinking, and get cooking! The rules are simple: recipes must include at least one Dion’s ingredient.

You can take a secret family recipe and give it a Green Chile Ranch twist or create something totally new from those delicious Dion’s brownies.

The contest consists of different categories, including a Youth Category for kids up to 18 years old. For this category, kids can come up with their own recipe, or you can teach your child something they can make on their own. Encouraging and teaching children to cook is a great life-skills lesson (that can include some reading and math as well!) Plus, think of how proud they will be when they serve up their own Dion’s inspired creation.

In addition to that self-esteem boost and delicious food, up to 3 finalists in the Youth Category will win $50 Dion’s gift cards. The overall winner in the Youth Category receives a $120 Dion’s gift card or a pizza party for them and 15 friends. And if you want to submit your own recipe, the winner of the Non-Youth Category is Dion’s for a year! You have until August 11 to submit your recipe via their entry form. For additional information about the contest, you can visit Dion’s website.
