PAULA DEEN, PHILADELPHIA CREAM CHEESE ANNOUNCE SEASON 2

REAL WOMEN OF PHILADELPHIA

Back by popular demand the online cooking competition searches for the next home cooks

to win $25,000 and be crowned cooking stars

Southern cooking queen Paula Deen and Philadelphia Cream Cheese are proud to announce Season 2 of one of the largest women’s online communities, the Real Women of Philadelphia. Building on the success of the first season, home cooks upload recipe videos showcasing their preparation of original recipes using Philadelphia Cream Cheese or the new Philadelphia Cooking Creme.

Beginning April 4th Paula Deen and Philadelphia Cream Cheese ask women across the country to create short, entertaining and creative cooking videos in each of four categories—appetizer, side dish, entree and dessert—and submit them via http://www.realwomenofphiladelphia.com.   At the end of the eight-week competition, four lucky finalists will be chosen in each of four categories by a distinguished panel of judges. These 16 finalists will have the opportunity to meet Paula Deen in person and compete in a cook-off at the 2^nd Annual Real Women of Philadelphia Live Event on June 30 in Savannah, GA for the chance to be crowned the winner in their cooking category. The four winners will each receive a talent contract worth $25,000, star in their own cooking videos, contribute to a cookbook featuring the community’s favorite cream cheese recipes from the season, and host the Real Women of Philadelphia community.

“After meeting and following all of these amazing, passionate, creative women throughout the first season of Real Women of Philadelphia and seeing how this program positively impacted their lives, I knew we had to have a second season,” said Paula Deen. “I am honored to be a part of a program designed to empower women through the passion of cooking; something that is so close to my heart.”

“We were absolutely overwhelmed and thoroughly excited by the tremendous response, engagement, and authenticity of the community we saw in last year’s competition and can’t wait to embark on Season 2,” said Adam Butler, Brand Manager of Philadelphia Cream Cheese.  “With Season 2 of Real Women of Philadelphia we look to expand our incredible community and continue to channel the creativity, passion and fun these women have as they create their Philadelphia Cream Cheese recipes.”

All female cooks, from novices to experts are invited to visit http://www.realwomenofphiladelphia.com today to enter the competition and join the Real Women of Philadelphia community where over 40,000 amazing members already share their family recipes, tips and stories with other real-life cooks. Members can also purchase Real Women of Philadelphia: The Cookbook with introduction by Paula Deen through LuLu.com to see the best Philadelphia Cream Cheese recipes from the first season of the Real Women of Philadelphia.

The Real Women of Philadelphia program was developed by Digitas and EQAL in collaboration with Kraft Foods and includes video production, Web site development and community management.

Mama’s Little Helper is a reference website for parents in PA & NJ.

Hi!
I’m Chrissy and I’m a mom living in Bucks County PA. The inspiration for MamasLittleHelper.org came from my experience as a new mama. When I was a new mom, I had a hard time looking for indoor and outdoor activities including places for my child to take classes, so I decided to design a website that would help parents and caregivers in PA & NJ do just that. I wish I would have had a resource like this a couple of years ago when my daughter was just a brand new baby, but now I’m glad I can offer that resource to you all with the click of your mouse!

I would like MamasLittleHelper.org to be a resource that’s easy to navigate. My plan is to keep these lists updated with all kinds of information you can use on a daily basis, seasonally and for special events. If you know of any places that I don’t have on my list or you would like to give a description of when you went to that place please email me or post a comment on the appropriate page.

I’m really excited about the calendar feature. We all hear through the grapevine about cool events in PA & NJ and then we forget about them because we have no place to go reference them again. Well not anymore. I’ll be keeping this calendar updated with all the cool events I hear about. Please email me if you know of an event that you would like to share with other parents in PA & NJ.

Keep an eye on the coupon page. I’ll be asking local businesses to give you a discount.

Mama is also available for social media consulting and hosting mommy blogger events for your business. Email me to find out how I can help you today.

Hope you enjoy the site. This site is for you! Please email me if you have any suggestions! Check back often…I update frequently.

Thanks,
Chrissy (aka Mama)
