Meals on Wheels Recipe Contest (Austin, TX)

Last Wednesday, I had the honor of serving as 1 of 4 judges for Meals on Wheels' Recipe Contest. (Read the Austin Chronicle's Virginia Wood's piece on the event.) I had a wonderful time with the judges, attendees, and the fantastic folks at Meals on Wheels. Here are the finalists' dishes (From top to bottom: Flemish Chicken [the winner], Creamy Spinach Enchilada Casserole, Baked Chicken with Orange Juice & Rosemary):
