And, some other fun news, I am so excited to announce that among other foodies we have celebrity guest chef Nicole Aloni on our judging panel! (In case you don’t know her, she is amazing! She opened her first catering business at age 13, has catered 6 Academy Awards, an event for the Queen Elizabeth, several U.S. Presidents, and countless other events)!

So, let’s get on to the details!
The Results are in!
All the finalists had great recipes, you can download them here.

The judges have sent me their picks and the winners are:
1st Place: Brooke's Buttermilk Chicken
2nd Place: Jennifer's Spicy Grilled Chicken Chipotle Pizza

The results were SO CLOSE that I'm going to send a few goodies to each of the finalists! I'll email you to get your contact info. Congrats to our winners!!
