Cooking and entertaining doesn’t have to be stressful around the holidays.

HGTV Host Sandra Lee has teamed up with Verizon to launch the “Fast Festive Fun with Sandra Lee Contest” to show how you can streamline all of your cooking and entertaining needs.

October 29 – December 19, cooks can submit their best homemade recipes that can be shared and used to entertain friends and family across America. Entries will be judged based on originality, cost, speed and ease across different categories. Categories include appetizers, side dishes, entrees and leftover lunches.

The top three entries in each category, and winners, will receive a signed copy of “Sandra Lee Semi-Homemade Fast-Fix Homemade Favorites,” and will be featured on both www.sandralee.com and www.verizoninsider.com and social media channels (Twitter and Facebook).

The grand prize winner (from entered category winners) package for the Fast Festive Fun with Sandra Lee Contest (announced on New Year’s Eve), includes a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 and a Sandra Lee 10pc Stainless Steel Cookware set.

Sandra can also discuss how to incorporate technology into your kitchen:

• Use your mobile device to complete your grocery shopping list

• Use your tablet to instantly look up recipes

• Show off your culinary creations to friends and family via Facebook and Twitter

• Introducing technology into your kitchen can empower you to be creative, efficient, and fun!
