Cooking Light's Healthy Cook of the Year Could Be ME!

Cooking Light Magazine was doing a casting call for healthy cooks, so you know I just had to give it a try. Well, the good news was delivered yesterday and I have been named as one of 8 Semi-Finalists for the Cooking Light Healthy Cook of the Year Casting Call!! I am over-the-top excited about this. I mean, cooking light (or lean) is my thing! Being selected is such an honor, but the work has just begun. Here is where I really need your help!

The names of the Eight Semi-Finalists and their video submissions will be posted on the Cooking Light website, www.cookinglight.com/castingcall, on August 23, 2010, where the public may vote for their favorite entry. Public voting begins 12:01 A.M. EST on August 23, 2010 and ends 11:59 P.M. EST on September 8, 2010. You can vote once a day, every day...so please do! It will only take a few seconds. OK, maybe a minute, tops. That's it!

If chosen as one of the four finalists, they will fly me to Atlanta for the Taste of Atlanta event on October 23, 2010. There, I will participate in a filmed cook-off and compete for the title of Cooking Light's Healthy Cook of the Year! What does this mean? It means I would receive a nice little $ prize, but most importantly, I could become a regular contributor to Cooking Light Magazine and cookinglight.com!!!

Isn't this exciting?!!? Needless to say, I am extremely excited about this! I could get carried away about how much this means to me, but I'll keep it short and sweet. Please take a moment to vote, allowing me a chance to get one step closer toward pursuing my passion and reaching my dreams.

THANK YOU!
