Real Women of Philadelphia Host Challenge-Video

Pescado Chili Rellenos

Over the past four weeks I've been competing in the 2ND annual Real Women of Philadelphia Host Challenge. Our mission, should we decided to accept it, is to develop new recipes using Philadelphia Brand Cream Cheese and the new Kraft Cooking Cremes.

Every week for 9 weeks, each contestant must submit at least one original recipe for appetizer, side dish, entree and dessert. The recipe must be video taped and made with Kraft cream cheese or cooking creme. The video is then edited by yours truly and download onto the RWOP website.

The waiting begins as Paula Deen and the folks at Kraft choose 2 finalists in each category each week. At the close of the competition the 16 finalists will be flown to Savannah Georgia to compete in a cook off.

Only 4 Hosts will be chosen. Each will receive a 1 year, 25 thousand dollar contract, to Host the RWOP website, make personal appearances over the coarse of the year and promote Kraft's new Cooking Cremes and Philadelphia Cream Cheese.

This is my video submission for Entree week. Whew!
