A highlight of our annual Food Issue is the Reader Recipe Contest. For the first time ever, we have a consecutive repeat winner. Julie Hook of Cunningham (Carlisle County), who took home the grand prize last year with her Sweet & Spicy Smoked Gouda Bacon Dip, scored again this year with an inspired pasta dish, Creamy Butternut Squash Pasta. Thank you to all who entered, and congratulations to the winner and finalists!
