Real Women of Philly WIN Free Groceries for a Year!

October 15, 2012 by Kath

Not that long ago, Jen posted a status update on Facebook that she had burned dinner. A stream of sympathetic been there, done that-type responses flooded in from other moms across the web. But I knew that this wasn’t just your everyday garden-variety type mistake, and Jen soon made it clear as well. Yes she had burned dinner because she was super busy and was trying to do twelve other things simultaneously (it happens to the best of us) but she also admitted: she hates to cook. Because of this hatred, she feels she’s not that good at it. (I feel compelled to point out, as someone who has eaten dishes she’s made, that this is not strictly true: girl can make some mean caprese-orzo salad).

But surely this couldn’t be so! Comments flooded in – you hate cooking? No, you just haven’t found the right recipe/teacher/appliance yet. But it’s true. No amount of trying or instruction or slow cookers is going to make her find her culinary passion, and that’s okay. Her family hasn’t starved to death yet and her hubby is an old hand at putting together a healthy and tasty meal.
Luckily for my girls, I don’t share Jen’s aversion to puttering around in the kitchen. Most days, I love to cook and I happily explore new dishes or variations of old favourites. In the old days (pre-internet that is) I used to thumb through cookbooks and food magazines, looking for something appetizing to try out. These days, a new recipe is only a few clicks away, and I know I can always find something interesting and delicious out there on the internet.
Take, for example, last weekend. It’s Thanksgiving, and we have guests coming for dinner. I realize on Sunday morning that I haven’t planned dessert. And here’s the thing: I don’t really like pumpkin pie all that much. It just wasn’t something that was part of our tradition growing up and I never developed a taste for it. Actually, I suppose it always seemed more of an American Thanksgiving-type dish to me, although its popularity seems to have reached north over the border in recent years. But pumpkin pie preferences aside, I still needed dessert.
And that’s when I found this:

It’s the dessert to end all desserts: Salted Caramel-Chocolate Cheescake. Yes, you read that right. SALTED. CARAMEL. CHOCOLATE. CHEESECAKE. Forget pumpkin pie, honey, this dessert was the perfect home run after what I must admit (all modesty aside) was a rather great turkey dinner.
I found it on one of my favourite foodie websites – Real Women of Philadelphia. It’s an exciting community of women just like me who love to cook (and love to cook with Philly cream cheese!) There are recipes from expert Anna Olson, but also lots of great recipes from members in the forum (this is where I’ve found some of my faves).
And to make this community even more enticing, they’re currently running an outrageously amazing contest to WIN FREE GROCERIES FOR A YEAR. It’s super easy to enter: just Click here for more details on this awesome contest!
Can you imagine the amount of money you could save if you didn’t have to pay for your family’s food for a full year? My couponing self is salivating just at the thought…
And speaking of salivating, go check out some recipes with the Real Women of Philly!

    MUST HAVE THIS. Next time I see you I will force myself to spend some time in the kitchen (as your assistant, of course) in order to have myself a piece of THIS.
