You need something to do over Christmas vacation! Here's how to win a $5,000 scholarship!

If you're a C-CAP student or teacher, dwell no longer on how you will occupy all those hours and hours of holiday vacation time - you can develop a recipe!

For your efforts, you could become eligible to win an all-expenses paid trip to Canyon Ranch (and just think - it could be the Canyon Ranch NOT in Arizona!).

Here's the catch:  the deadline for this recipe is January 11. 

Wait - there's another catch.  (Or maybe a couple more…) The recipe must be for a meatless dish, and the dish must be chili.  Meatless and marvelous.

This recipe is intended for someone like a mom to use when she's slammed for time to make dinner.  It needs to be quick, easy and appealing to diners over the age of 18 as well as those under eight years. 

It needs to be able to serve at least six.

Just one recipe will be sent from C-CAP Arizona, and this contest is open ONLY to C-CAP students and teachers across the country (in other words, Arizona's entry will have a one-in-seven chance of being the winning recipe).

Full details are available from your C-CAP teachers and from Jill Smith, C-CAP Arizona director.  Jill will also lead the team judging Arizona's entries, which will be read and tried in a home kitchen to select the top Arizona recipe.

One more thing - you don't need to be a C-CAP finalist to win this scholarship.  You just need to be a competitor.
