Iron Chef Challenge: Champions Edition

Today is the big day for our Iron Chef Bloggers.  Each of these bloggers won a monthly contest held throughout the year and today they are baking against each other to determine who is the 2011 Iron Chef!  For this contest each blogger was given the same recipe from a Taste of Home Cookbook for Cinnamon Raisin Bread.  They were each to use the same ingredients as the recipe called for.  Then take the bread and turn it into something else.  So we have here a collection of 9 ways to use Cinnamon Raisin Bread.

Who knew you could do so much with something as simple as Cinnamon Raisin Bread?!?!?  As you can see our judge from Taste of Home will have quite the time picking a winner. But when they do we will announce it on this blog and the 2011 Iron Chef will receive their Taste of Home Baking Cookbook and bragging rights for all of 2012.  Thanks again to our sponsor and the bloggers for playing along.

So which recipe do you like best and who do you think should win??????
