I hope you got to see my show today at 2:00pm with Rachael Ray.  You know that we always have fun when we are working together.

But - something you may NOT know is that my niece, Hannah, won the Foodbowl competition on Rachael’s show and won 2 tickets to the Big Game!  

Hannah had sent in a video showing what a big Vikings fan she was and shared two of her favorite dip recipes for game day. One person from each of the last 4 football teams were chosen, flown to NY where their favorite game day foods were judged by a player from the NY Jets. After the recipes from the Patriots, Eagles, Jaguars and Vikings were tasted, Hannah was chosen as the winner!!!

She was SO excited, and she chose to take her dad, Larry, to the BIG GAME, since it’s because of Larry’s love for football that started Hannah’s love for the game.

I had nothing to do with her winning at all, but I sure was proud of her and her hard work to get to Rachael’s show!!

Here are the recipes for the two winning dips:

1lb. of ground sausage(mild or spicy)

1 brick of cream cheese

1 can of Rotelle (tomatoes & chilies)(mild or spicy)
