    CLASH OF THE GRANDMAS - My Food Network Debut

    October 14, 2016 by athomewithrebecka 6 Comments

    Grandmas know how to cook! I can finally announce my Food Network debut! Ta DA!  That's right, this happy grandma is being featured as a contestant on the Food Network's new Holiday series, Clash of The Grandmas!

    Cameron Mathison, host of Clash of the Grandmas

    The talented Cameron Mathison is our host and is one of the nicest people I've ever met. I hope you'll set your DVR's to record the series and tune-in to my episode; Clash of the Grandmas "Home Sweet Grandma" which Premieres Sunday, November 20th at 10pm EST.  Please check with your local cable listings for times in your area.  

    I wasn't aware that two of my sweet friends and fellow food competitors were also on the show. You see, we're all sworn to secrecy during the process of selection and filming, so none of us knew the others were on the series until the official Food Network press release came out today. What a lovely surprise to see their names in the list below. Boy, us grannies can really keep a secret!! 

    Sherrie Williams will rock her talents in the kitchen on the very first episode, Clash of the Grandmas "Thanksgiving at Grandma's" and Ally Phillips will make magic in the kitchen in the final episode, Clash of the Grandmas "Grandma's World Tour".  

    Invite your friend over for a viewing party and tune in to see my Food Network debut... and to see who wins their episode!

        Hi Vanessa, Thank you for visiting today! The lemon Cookie with Basil and goat cheese ice-cream was made by the second runner-up Barbara Mayo (Collierville, Tennessee). My 10K winning recipe was the Mexican Biscochito Cookie with Cinnamon Tequila Ice-cream. I'll be sharing my recipe very soon but have to get surgery on my shoulder tomorrow. I'll see if I can Barbara to share her recipe and get back to you!!
