Rachael Vs. Guy Celebrity Cook-Off

Two of Food Network’s most popular personalities, Rachael Ray and Guy Fieri, are going head-to-head in a new series premiering this winter, Rachael vs. Guy Celebrity Cook-Off. Both Rachael and Guy will serve as coaches and mentors to eight multi-talented celebrities — from an Olympic gold medalist to Grammy-winning artists to a Golden Globe-nominated actor — contestants who are all passionate about food and cooking.

Divided into Team Rachael and Team Guy, the contestants will face intense weekly challenges that are sure to have them working, fighting and laughing as they race against the clock to prepare elaborate meals for up to 150 guests. The winning and losing teams will be chosen by the guest diners and after six episodes, the last celebrity standing will win a cash donation to his or her favorite charity.

The show’s all-star line-up includes:

•    Summer Sanders: two-time Olympic gold medalist swimmer and national sportscaster
•    Lou Diamond Phillips: Golden Globe-nominated actor (Stand and Deliver, SGU Stargate Universe)
•    Aaron Carter: Multi-platinum-selling recording artist and actor (Popstar, Supercross)

Today’s Menu: Buttermilk Ranch Chicken w/ Diced potatoes, Green Beans and Whole Grain Bread

I tried another Rachael Ray recipe for dinner tonight, Buttermilk Ranch Chicken. A real easy and delicious recipe to put together. The Chicken is marinated in a mixture of Buttermilk, Mayo, Dried Mustard, fresh Chives, Dried Dill, Salt andpepper. I used Lowfat Buttermilk and Kraft Reduced Mayonnaise. You can marnate it from 45 minutes to overnight, I marinated mine for 3 hours. They came out moist and flavorful. I left the recipe at the end of the post.

For sides I had Green Beans, Bob Evans Diced Seasoned Potatoes, and Healthy Life Whole Grain Bread. For dessert a Yoplait 100 Calorie Delight Chocolate Eclair Parfait.
