To enter the contest, interested parties must submit a favorite recipe made by their Mom.  The winning recipe will be featured on the COLORS menu for Mother’s Day and the entire family eats for free. As a gift to all families that share the recipes of their Mom, they can dine with Mom at COLORS on Mother’s Day and Mom eats for free.
