Welcome to the Kitchen Challenge. This is our bi-monthly game where we present a kitchen task to the community and see what happens. Anyone can play. However, if you have a blog or a website, you can link to the challenge and will be listed on our "roll-call" of sites playing along.

Be sure to acquaint yourself with the rules, listed below. Or, if you've played before, jump to the current Challenge!



What are the Rules?

Each challenge will have it's unique rules and guidelines. However, there are general rules that must be followed for all games:

  • First, you must follow the directions! Each challenge will have particular instructions to make it both challenging and fun and we require each play to adhere to them.


  • Two, you must be able to take a picture of your final creation. We know this may be difficult for some people. You don't need to post it on the web. If you can get a copy in digital format, you can email it to us and we will post it. Note: You don't have to take pictures during the process, unless you want to. You just need a picture of the final product.


  • Three, be fair! Give credit where credit is due. If you enter the contest using someone else's recipe or work, please note it.


  • Four, have fun! This is not a dog-eat-dog contest (unless the challenge has to do with hot dogs). This is just a fun way for us to get creative and expand our cooking skills. While we will pick a winner, the fact we are all participating is the best reward of all.
Did you say winner?

Yep, that's right. Of the participants, we will pick our favorite entry. Of course, if you win a contest, you would expect a prize. Since we are poor moms eeking out a living, we can't award anything monetary. But we do have this nifty graphic that you can proudly display on your blog, website, or in your forum sigline.

How do I enter?

Several ways:

  1. You may post your entry on your blog or website and send us a link.


  2. Email us your submission (with an attachment of a picture of the final product).


  3. Post your entry in the comments section of our Full House Blog. You may also post your entry in the Lotsofkids.com Household forum.


  4. We will have periodic guest hosts for the challenge, so you pay post your entry in their comments section.
That's all there is to it! Good luck! Oh, and you'll find the current challenge listed below.
