Cooking for Life: Will Oprah give me my own Cooking Show?

I want to know if Oprah is going to give me my own Cooking Show?

As you all know, my passion for health and wellness is far reaching.  The truth is that my passion for health and wellness is coupled with my absolute love and passion for cooking. But not just cooking, I’m talking about Cooking for Life. And that’s why I have a YouTube cooking series which focuses on cooking foods that support health and wellness – that’s what I’m all about.

But the truth be told, a weekly YouTube cooking series is just not going to reach the number of people that really need help. What we need is a national Cooking Show to give this important topic the coverage it deserves.

So I’m thinking big here, really big. I want my own Cooking Show and I have been putting this out to the universe for sometime now.

Who among us isn’t drawn to a good Cooking Show? But what we need is a Cooking Show with a difference. I say enough of showing us how to prepare comfort foods, and rich Italian dishes and decadent and caloric desserts and the endless addition of butter, butter and more butter. This type of food is killing us.

Our obesity rate is 33% the last I heard and as enjoyable as these Cooking Shows are, they are showing us more of what we should not be eating.

It’s time for a change.  I say roll out the quinoa with veggies, the tabouli with garbonzo beans, the low-glycemic split peas soup and the fresh organic fruit with mint. Let’s give meat a rest every once in a while (we can start with Meatless Monday) and explore some other healthy and yummy options.

Let’s put aside all the processed foods and the fatty foods and the genetically modified foods and the meat and dairy that are loaded with antibiotics. Let’s try a different approach.

Well, wouldn’t you know it, I think the universe is lining up with my intentions and my passions. Oprah, yes Oprah and reality TV super producer Mark Burnett (of SurvivorTM & The ApprenticeTM fame) are joining forces in search of the next big TV star.   And ……. there’s a cooking category.

Yahoo……. so you’ve got to know I submitted my audition video and my fingers, toes and everything else are crossed for good luck.

Unfortunately there’s a voting part to this competition.  How they will equalize the fact that some entered the competition in May and were able to secure 2 million plus votes (can you believe that?) with someone, like me who entered in the last week of the competition is a little vague.

All I can say is that I need all the voting help that I can muster up. If you would like to support my run for a Cooking Show with a difference, one that showcases healthy and nutritious foods and recipes then please vote for me here.

So Oprah, will you give me my own Cooking Show?
