Winner: Michaela Rosenthal!
In August, Bumble Bee launched its Quick ‘n Easy Recipe contest on Facebook. There were numerous original recipes submitted, and after the fans helped us narrow it down to the top 10 recipes, our celebrity chef partner, Chef Scott Leibfried, declared a winner!
The grand prize winner is Michaela Rosenthal with her Creamy Tuna & Green Olive Quiche recipe. Chef Scott noted that her recipe incorporated an excellent variety of fresh ingredients that are easy to find. Check out Michaela’s full recipe below:
