Napa is closer than ever!

And we are back!

And we are doing the happy dance.

Remember when I asked for your votes for a chance to win all-expense paid trip to the Culinary Institute of America in Napa, where I get the chance to attend their culinary bootcamp program?

And I asked you to ask your friends, and coworker and everyone you know to head over to the Pacific Natural Foods site to be click-ty happy on my behalf and vote for my submitted recipes?

Well, your efforts paid off, because not one, but BOTH of my submitted recipes have made the cut to the final voting round.

YES!

People, you guys are AWESOME! Actually more then AWESOME, is there a word bigger than AWESOME? Oh, maybe TREMENDOUS! Or GRAND!

You guys are just … ASTOUNDING.

I could not have done this without your help – and I thank you so much for taking the time to do this for me.

But, oh yes, there is but…

It’s not over.

See this is the final stretch, the brass ring people. I now need your votes again – more so than ever, because this round is the ONE… these are the votes that will get me to Napa baby!

The top-vote-getter in the final challenge wins the grand prize.

And now I know how those people feel, to have it right there… so close!, I just need all of you guys to push me a little bit closer to grab it! Because, I got some really tough competition out there.

So head over to the Everyday Chef Challenge Finalists Gallery and be click happy! Click as you have never clicked before. You can click today and tomorrow and every day until it’s over. In fact I will even make it easier.. Just click the pictures below of my submitted recipes and press VOTE at the end of the page. That’s it, pretty easy right?

And tell your friends, family, co-workers, facebook, twitter – heck! Tell everyone you know!

And come back over and over again and vote!

Send me to Napa!
