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!

Cooking for Real! Real food for real people! I love it! I dislike shows where I’d have to beat the bushes looking macadamia flavored pickled coconuts roasted in garlic,with a touch of lime, chopped finely! LOL Thanks for the giveaway!

I’m leaning more towards Cooking for Real just because I, personally, can always use more ideas for interesting meals that are also affordable & easy. Ask Aida reminds me of Cooking Live but with a goofy sidekick. I know I’ll get blasted because people probably love Noah Starr, but I’m not sure about the combo yet.

Didn’t care for either one.
I watched both shows, I thought I would not like Cooking For Real, but I did find it enjoyable and the recipes looked interesting. On the other hand I thought I would like Ask Aida, but I really did not care for the shows host or her tech guru guy. The questions are just fake and it’s kind of boring. Similar to what the one contestant from Next Food Network Star did on his challenge and also similar to something Rachael Ray has tried on her show. Maybe I’m too much of a geek that them trying to be “tech savvy” in a fake way just puts it off for me?
