Macy’s Great American Grilling Guru competition

Posted on by

As you know I enter a lot of recipe contests and some are cook-offs. I was super excited to make the semi-finals for this cooking competition where we competed in Charlotte,NC this time and our judge was celebrity Iron Chef Cat Cora and what a treat to grill my Shrimp & Apricot Pork Tenderloin with a jalapeno apricot creamy sauce and have Cat judge it and she loved it but all three dishes were fantastic it was a hard decision for her. Although I didn’t win to go on to the finals I had a great experience and tons of fun! On to the next one…

Ya’ll even though I didn’t win it was so much fun and what an experience I will never forget it! My dishes were turned in on time I was solo with not help and had to turn in two dishes within 2 hours 15 minutes! I reunited with old foodie friends and met some fabulous new foodie friends it was the best time of my life ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!
