It!
“ I love the joy of creating a
new recipe. If my family
loves it, that’s the best
reward of all.”
TERESA RALSTON
IF T H E F O U R R A L S T O N
children
are asked what they had fo r dinner
last night, they might say they helped
their m om make chicken with garam
masala (an Indian spice mixture). But
answers like that are pretty expected
now since the family's whole Ohio
neighborhood knows about Teresa's
bold adventures in cooking and
growing reputation as a recipe
contest winner. She recently
deposited $
10 ,0 0 0
into the kids'
college fund by taking the grand
prize in our yearly Prize Tested
Recipes com petition (Spicy Shrimp
Nachos). She has also been a runner-
up on a Food Network Challenge
and finalist in the
$1
million Pillsbury
Bake-Off. 'T h a t creates some
pressure," she jokes. "You can't go
into a contest expecting anything. I
enjoy the experience and fun of it."
