About Me

My photo
Cleveland, Ohio, United States
I am a retired teacher with time on my hands. I love to cook and bake. For the past eight years my hobby has been entering recipe contests. I have done very well and have been to several cook/bake offs although I have never won a grand prize. The ititials of my blog CCC are the same as the site where I get contest information, Cooking Contest Central (CCC). While there are 1000's of food blogs that post recipes this blog will review other cooking blogs.

Please help my friend Beth

I am asking for your help.  My good cooking buddy, Beth Royals, was one of the 100 finalists in the Pillsbury BakeOff.  Now she is one of the 4 semi-finalists.  She can win a $1,000,000.00

For the first time ever part of Beth’s score will come from popular vote.  So, I am asking you to follow the link and vote for Beth.  You do have to register but since it is a one time vote you can delete your information after voting.

Also, could you pass this information to all of your contacts.  Ask them to vote and pass the link on.   http://www.pillsbury.com/vote.

Thanks in advance.
