I was asked to blog about some new Penne pasta and Bake Mix from Atkins! I got to try them and they are both yummy, diet conscious foods ready to replace your usual, non-Atkins pasta and baking mix, and turn some of your favorite foods into Atkins-compatible diet dishes!

In conjunction with releasing these new foods, Atkins is sponsoring a recipe contest. Here are some details:

The “Win with Atkins Cuisine” Recipe Contest runs from September 1, 2009 to September 30, 2009 so get started today!

Contest categories:

* Penne Pasta:
* Penne Pasta with Sauce
* Vegetarian Penne Pasta Dish
* Penne Pasta Casserole Dish

* Baking Mix:
* Breakfast/Brunch
* Lunch/Dinner
