This year’s categories are: Morning Delights (your best brunch dish); Funky Finger Food (those little nibbles you serve to company); Ladle it Up! (your best soups, chilis and chowders); Put’n On the Ritz (the dish that dazzles your date); 30 Minute Meals w/Rachel Ray (duplicate any of her recipes) and Happy Endings (no meal would be complete without dessert).
