Earth Balance Spreads - Made Just Right

The second winning dessert recipe comes to us from Nikki Haney of Brooklyn, New York. Her Vegan Apricot Lemon Cupcakes have dried apricots baked into zesty lemon cupcakes.

This 1st winning dessert recipe in the Spring to Life Recipe Contest comes to us from Kaylee. Her Decadant Date and Pecan Brownies are vegan, unbaked, gluten-free and probably the healthiest, tastiest brownie recipe we've ever seen!

The 2nd winning entrée comes to us from Carly Sitner of Portland, Oregon. Basil is back in season and her Spinach Ravioli with Cream Sauce, Basil-Infused Oil and Chanterelle Gremolata higlights basil in a big way!

Our 1st entrée recipe winner is Deva Mirel. Her recipe for Spicy Peanut Tamarind Rice Noodle Salad is creatively appealing, full of delicious, healthy vegetables and packed with protein from both tofu and peanut butter.

The second winning side dish recipe in the Spring to Life Recipe Contest is Whole Grain Pasta with Creamy Avocado White Wine Sauce from Randolf Sears of Hesperia, Calif.

The first winner in the side dish category of the Spring to Life recipe contest is Jennifer Strohmeyer. We loved Jennifer's method of toasting quinoa, in this recipe for Toasted Quinoa Mexican Soup.
