Families gathering in the kitchen and around the dinner table this season have a resource for 100 percent real dairy recipes on Pinterest. Midwest Dairy Association, who works on behalf of more than 9,500 dairy farm families across 10 states, is running the Real Dairy Holidays Contest on Pinterest – giving one lucky pinner the chance to win a KitchenAid stand mixer worth $400. The contest runs through Jan. 4, 2013.

Holiday happenings and gatherings evoke unforgettable memories and food and recipes are a key part of these recollections. Midwest Dairy’s Pinterest pinboards feature a variety of delicious dairy recipes, from homestyle breakfasts to traditional desserts and the meals in between from DairyMakesSense.com.

To help families create new holiday eating traditions, the site also showcases recipes from the kitchens and cookbooks of Midwest dairy farm moms, like Karen Bohnert and Susan Anglin.
