In the Kitchen with Cooking for Real and Ask Aida

Okay all you Food Network foodie fans….have you heard the new buzz about the ‘In the Kitchen’ weekend shows, Ask Aida and Cooking for Real??? Well if not, then you must be in the pantry closet because they’re two shows that you don’t want to miss!

So let’s meet Sunny first of Cooking for Real (to the left).  She serves up REAL down home cookin’ which I’m a big fan of and uses easy to find ingredients with affordable menus.  She is my kind of gal and I’ll be sharing some of her recipes with you over the next week!  Very delightful and refreshing!

Next up is Aida from Ask Aida.  This one is HOT my friends.  Food networks first Interactive show where you can upload, download, log on, and yes…even Ask Aida!  Very cool concept where, we, the viewers can live chat, text, call in, etc and ask her Aida what we want!  Whether you have culinary questions or cooking questions, she says she can answer them all!  I absolutely love this idea!!!

SHOWTIMES ’cause I know you’re dying to know!!!

Ask Aida: Saturdays 12:30pm/11:30c and Cooking for Real with Sunny Anderson Sunday Mornings 10:30am/9:30c on Food Network!

To celebrate the new shows, Food Network is allowing me to give away a cool “Strictly For The Ladies Summerfabulous” Prize Pack! This looks like it would appeal to men as well so don’t be shy fellas!  What’s in the prize pack you ask??  Check this out!

AND some awesome Food Network Margarita Glasses!!!  Just couldn’t locate my picture.  PIctured above is a Food Network Cookbook, a Food Network Apron, and some very cool Barbecue Tools!

    I saw Cooking for Real. I liked it alot. I haven’t see the other one though. But would love to win.

  3. I think the new shows are awesome! I am not a foodie by any means, but these really appeal to me. I like the way the focus has gone from gourmet cooking shows to everyday, affordable ingredients-and new, exciting ideas to create great meals for me and my family!
