The hosts of Real Women of Philadelphia - Mandy Heaston, Caryn Ross, Sheila Cutchlow and KC Quaretti-Lee - are your guides and inspiration for each week of the recipe contest!

This official start date for the contest is this Monday, July 19th!


This happy wife and mom hails from Venice, Florida. KC loves  volunteering whenever she can, spending time with her artist-husband, Fillippo as well as with her son, Guilliano and daughter Marina. Of course, she spends a hefty chunk of time in the kitchen as well and loves to create new dishes.

We are beyond thrilled to welcome KC as you Dessert Host!


Sheila is a multi-talented gal from Washington, DC. She's a dynamo in the kitchen, has run three marathons, is an advanced Scuba diver, and is a single parent to her pride and joy, Mallory. Sheila works in business development for the DC Chamber of Commerce, but dreams of working with food professionally...and now she's achieved that dream!

We are so thrilled to welcome Sheila as your Entree Host!


Caryn hails from Norman, Oklahoma and is the self-proclaimed "Fat 'N' Sassy" Mama! This avid cookbook collector has been married to the man of her dreams for 17 years, and they have two children. The Ross family loves eating and boating together on their boat, the Fat-N-Sassy!

We are so excited to have this energetic gal as your Appetizer queen!


This happily married Seattle, Washington gal is mom to three young girls. She cooks with her kids all the time and loves to figure out how to make gourmet meals with easy twists. This multitasker has a Master's Degree in Classical Opera and loves contributing to her blog.

We are so happy to count Mandy as one of your Hosts for the new phase of Real Women of Philadelphia!
