Can Your Grandma Throw Down in the Kitchen?

I have many fond memories of my grandmother's cooking. My Gram, who's husband, my Pap, was a coal miner, always amazed me with what she was able to put on the table. She could take the simplest of ingredients and make comfort food like you wouldn't believe. She is the inspiration for several of my family's favorite dishes that I make today.

If you love your Grandma's cooking as much as I did, or you're a Grandma who knows her way around the kitchen, the Food Network is looking for you. The 'Clash of the Grandmas' is back. Four grandmas will compete, but only one will emerge as champion and win some serious cash. Last year's winner won $10,000.

This is a fun, cooking throwdown including everything from entrees to desserts. According to the Food Network, if you have the wit of Betty White and the skills of Betty Crocker, this is your chance to prove your stuff, and your recipes, on the Food Network.

Here's how to enter, or nominate your Grandma, email your name, phone number, email address, and occupation in the body of your email and put your city/state in the subject line to grandmothercasting@leg-corp.com. Plus describe your cooking style, signature dishes, and why you believe you, or your nominee, should be on the show.

Good luck and let us know if you, or you're Grandma make it on the show. We want all of the Hudson Valley to cheer you on.
