Healthy Holiday Pie and Cake Contest Winners Announced

Our Healthy Holiday Pie and Cake Contest was a delicious success (thanks to our loyal blog following)!  We received over 30 healthy pie and cake recipes!  In our quest to find the healthiest recipe, each entry was carefully reviewed.  Why did we scrutinize each recipe?  Our food philosophy, of course!  We analyzed each recipe looking for banned ingredients from Earth Fare’s boot list, high fat content and high sugar content.  Based on these criteria, four final recipes were selected, baked and then sampled by Earth Fare team members to  determine the winners: 

Congratulations to 1st place Winner: Margaret of Boone, NC for her Healthy Whole Wheat Carrot Cake Recipe!  

1st Place Winner: Healthy Whole Wheat Carrot Cake with Coconut Frosting

::Drum-roll PLEASE::  The next honors were given to:

• Second Place: Jess’s Healthy Blue-Blackberry Pie
• Third Place: Mary’s Healthy Apple Walnut Cake
• Fourth Place: Libby’s Healthy Creamy Blueberry Granola Crust Pie

Any one of these will surely be a hit – indulgent and without the guilt - at your holiday meal.  Be sure to check out Earth Fare’s Healthy Recipes page for all these recipes and more! 

Thank you to all entrants, and congratulations to the winners.  And for everyone else…GET BAKING!
