Let the Cookoff Commence!

Who loves a good ol’ fashioned cooking competition? I know I sure do. There’s nothing more satisfying than plopping myself down on the couch with a couple of pillows and sinking in for an episode of “The Next Food Network Star,” “MasterChef” or, heaven help us, “Chopped.”

Honestly, that show amazes me every time I watch it. I’m still reeling from the last challenge I witnessed with the buckwheat groats, jews mallow, hard cider and elk tenderloin.

Do you ever wonder what it would be like to be on one of those shows? I’m pretty sure I’d melt like a hot pad of butter on a skillet as soon as the mystery ingredients were revealed. It’s hard enough to put together a recipe when you’re not being timed, let alone when the clock is ticking and the world is watching. Still, I will admit that the thought of someday participating is intriguing to me.


With all that being said, Delish and MSN’s Kitchen Cookoff is officially up and running, and so are a handful of the much-anticipated cooking competitions! Hosted by Jelynn Rodriguez and chef Jill Houk and sponsored by Hillshire Farm, the competitions pit everyday women against each other to showcase their favorite family recipe — and may the best dish win.

In addition to the cooking competitions, there are useful tips on picking out the best produce when shopping at the grocery store, quick and simple tricks for making everyday dishes healthier, and enticing and straightforward weeknight meals you and your family are sure to love.

Best of all, starting next month, there will be a fabulous, wonderful, amazing, not-to-be-missed blog post once every four weeks from Mommie Cooks.

So let’s recap. Everyday women like me? Competing with a tried-and-true traditional family recipe? Now that’s a show I can wrap my head around.

Tips and tricks for healthful eating and recipes with that much-needed weeknight meal inspiration?  Sign me up.

Supporting one of your blogger favorites for recipe inspiration? Priceless.

I hope you’ll join me over at Kitchen Cookoff in the upcoming months for a little bit of wit, a handful of scrumptious recipes, and a whole lot of cooking inspiration and fun. See you there!

Note: I am working in conjunction with MSN.com and am being compensated for my time.  As always all opinions and recipes are my own.
