1. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The Chef to the Rescue Recipe Challenge is a recipe contest, with eight different recipe categories. Every two weeks, participants can submit recipes within a specific category (example: your best chili recipe) for the opportunity to win a prize. Participants enter the contest online at http://cheftotherescue.msn.com. The Challenge begins at 12:01 a.m. Pacific Time (“PT”) on February 4, 2008 and ends at 11:59 p.m. PT on May 11, 2008.

2. HOW TO ENTER: Create your own unique vegetarian recipe that best fits the recipe category you are entering. See Entry Chart below for all categories and eligible dates for entry. Recipes must be vegetarian (meaning a meatless recipe that may contain eggs or dairy; however, no meat, fish, seafood or meat derivatives). Recipes must include all ingredients with exact U.S. measurements and other complete directions, with all required utensils, timing, serving amount and other relevant information. All ingredients used must be readily available. Recipes should not include any brand-name products outside the Kellogg’s® family of products, should not include alcohol as an ingredient and should not reference links to other Web sites for ingredients and/or preparation instructions. Submitted recipes should not already appear in Kellogg recipe sections or have been previously published in cookbooks, magazines or other publications. Using a Kellogg’s product does not enhance your changes of winning.
