The Real Women of Philadelphia Contest, hosted by Food Network’s Anna Olson:
- Anna Olson and Philadelphia Cream Cheese are looking for Canada’s next big cooking stars. It could be you!
- Beginning April 11th, 2011, you can submit original recipe videos featuring Philadelphia Cream Cheese.
- During the 8-week competition, a different theme (dessert, appetizer, side or entrée) will be unveiled weekly.
- With 2 finalists selected each week, a total of 16 finalists will come to Toronto to compete in a live cook-off, where 4 Grand Prize Winners will be chosen.
- Those 4 will be involved in leading contributors in the creation of Real Women of Philadelphia cookbook, star in their own cooking videos, and make publicity appearances.
- Oh, and become $20, 000 richer!

How exciting would that be to be a part of that, let alone possibly winning! I don’t know about you, but $20, 000 would put a nice dent in my mortgage. 🙂
In addition, this week, as a fun aside, Kraft & Philadelphia Cream Cheese are sponsoring a giveaway for THREE mystery prize packs for three of my readers!
