Staying in is the new going out. Since we’re working from home, avoiding crowds, and only hitting up our favorite restaurants through carry-out or delivery, we’ve found ourselves cooking at home a lot more. 🍽️

So – why not stay in + cook out together?

In partnership with Lowes Foods, we’re launching #StayInCookOutCHS: an Instagram photo challenge – running today through April 13 –that cultivates (virtual) community, lets us show off our skills in the kitchen, and gives you a chance to win $100 from Lowes Foods. 💰

How to play:

Post a pic of what you’re cooking at home on Instagram 📸
Use the hashtag #StayInCookOutCHS in the caption or comments
Tag @LowesFoods + @CHStoday in the post

… And be entered to win a $100 Lowes Foods gift card, mailed directly to you for use in the coming weeks (hello, Lowes Foods To-Go).

Don’t have a grill? Not a great chef? No problem. You can also post photos of:

Charcuterie boards for virtual happy hour
Carry-out meal prep from a local restaurant (hey, heat and eat still counts as cooking, right?)
Baking with the kids
Cozy crockpot meals
And anything else that you’re making at home for meals + snacks.

We’ll check out the Instagram posts that follow all the rules and randomly select + notify one winner on Mon., April 13 to receive the Lowes Foods gift card. Bon appetit, y’all. Ⓟ
