Once a month, I’ll feature three recipes that you can choose from. Once you decide on a recipe, cook it, take a photo of it, submit it, and you might win a prize!

How it Works

  • Monthly Themes! Each month, we’ll feature three delicious Nom Nom Paleo recipes that you can choose from. Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to choose ONE of the three recipes to cook for your family or pals!
  • Cook and Snap a Photo! After you cook the recipe, snap a tantalizing photo of your Nom Nom Paleo creation! Don’t worry about lighting or the photo quality because we aren’t judging that at all. We just need to verify that you cooked the recipe!
  • Submit Your Entry! Email the photo along with the name of the recipe as the subject line to cookingchallenge@nomnompaleo.com by 11:59 pm PT on the last day of the month. Only one entry per person, please.
  • We pick a winner! From all the entries submitted via email, we will randomly choose one winner to win a $100 Amazon gift card. The winner will be notified by email within 10 days of the challenge ending.
  • Bonus! Want to showcase your masterpiece to the world? Tag us @NomNomPaleo on your social media posts and use the hashtag #NomNomPaleoCookingChallenge. Your delicious creation could be featured on our platforms, inspiring others to cook Nom Nom Paleo recipes too! Also, if you love the recipe please leave a 5-star rating on the recipe post!


What’s the prize?

As a token of our appreciation, one talented home cook will receive a $100 Amazon gift card. Use it to explore even more Nom Nom Paleo recipes in our cookbooks, stock up on high-quality ingredients, or treat yourself to a coveted kitchen tool—it’s your choice!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Nom Nom Paleo Cooking Challenge?

The Nom Nom Paleo Cooking Challenge is a fun way to try new or Nomster favorite recipes and get inspired to cook in the kitchen! On the first of every month, a new post will be published announcing the challenge recipe choices for the month. Make one of the recipes, snap a photo, and email it in for your chance to win a $100 Amazon gift card. Let’s get cooking!

What are the official rules?

Here are the official rules with all the legal mumbo jumbo!

Can I share my photo multiple times for more entries?

Nope, sorry, folks! Just pick ONE recipe to cook and take ONE picture to submit. Emailing your photo multiple times or sending multiple photos will still count as just one entry. We want everyone to have a fair shot at winning, so keep it to ONE scrumptious submission per month.

How do you choose a winner?

Great question! We keep track of all the entries and, at the end of the month’s NNP Cooking Challenge, we turn to the trusty random number generator, courtesy of random.org, to select our lucky winner. Please note, it’s all about luck—it’s like winning the foodie lottery! We won’t be judging your creations, but do make sure your submission aligns with the recipe’s scope to qualify.

Can I make substitutions to the recipe?

Yes! We understand that you may need to make substitutions as needed to fit your taste and dietary restrictions. However, remember that if you alter an ingredient, the recipe may not turn out as good as originally written!

How is the winner announced?

The winner will be contacted via email the following week after the challenge wraps up. The winner will have 48 hours to respond and claim their prize.
