2016 Recipe Contest Winners!

Mooney Farms is proud to announce the winners of our 2016 Annual Bella Sun Luci Recipe Contest! It was a great year full of delicious recipes but we have narrowed them down to just three amazing creations. Drum roll please...

First Place
Shauna Havey
Mediterranean Chicken Tacos with Sun Dried Tomato Crema

Second Place
Mary Hawkes
Mediterranean Potato Pancetta Cakes Topped with Fried Eggs and
Sun Dried Tomato Chimichurri

Third Place
Marie Rodriguez
Mediterranean Chicken Roulade

The grand prize winner, Shauna Havey was awarded a $2,500 cash prize for her mouthwatering Mediterranean Chicken Tacos with Sun Dried Tomato Crema. This year’s competition brought hundreds of delicious recipes but Shauna’s Mediterranean Chicken Tacos stood out amongst the rest. One reason was that Shauna not only used Bella Sun Luci Sun Dried Tomatoes in her recipe, she used them in every step of her recipe.

Bella Sun Luci also named second and third place winners, who won a $500 cash prize and a deluxe gourmet Bella Sun Luci gift basket, respectively. Mary Hawkes placed 2nd with her Mediterranean Potato Pancetta Cakes Topped with Fried Eggs and Sun Dried Tomato Chimichurri and Marie Rodriguez was the 3rd Place Prize Winner with her Mediterranean Chicken Roulade.

Looking forward to seeing more great recipes from this year’s 2017 contest!!!
