Fort Worth resident Emily Almaguer has been named one of a dozen finalists in Cooking Light magazine's Ultimate Reader Recipe Contest.

Submissions had to be lower in fat and calories than traditional recipes and had to contain one or more ingredients from contest sponsors. Ms. Almaguer was selected for her entree, Hidden Rainbow Albondigas, her version of a traditional, homestyle Mexican meatballs dish that may be served as a soup or as a casserole.

The 12 contenders will be brought to Cooking Light's HQ in Birmingham, Ala., for a Sept. 18 cook-off in the mag's test kitchens. The grand prize: a cool $20,000, plus $5,000 donated to the charity of your choice. A $5,000 prize also will awarded to each winner in the contest's individual course categories: Starters and Drinks; Entrees; Sides and Salads; and Desserts.

More fire-sale wines at Sigel's

By now you know they're actually wines that restaurants ordered and didn't pick up that Sigel's in Addison wants to move on out. We've got a few spirits this time and half-bottles (including a Ridge '02 cab-merlot) , too. Once again, some nice wines (check out the barbaresco) and some inexpensive bottles priced, well, to walk out the door. We're talking the Sigel's at Belt Line and Inwood. Check 'em out.

Less money, more eggs?

What does it mean to be on a budget these days? I'll tell you what it means at my house: eggs. As I wait for those checks that are "in the mail," I've been making do with on-hand ingredients.

For one dish, I cut up many-days-old bread and added it to some eggs beaten with a touch of half-and-half, sauteed onions, grated cheddar and leftover sun-dried tomatoes. 'Baked it for about 10 minutes and voila! A savory bread pudding.

Eggs also were the anchor for Jacques Pepin's Egg and Tomato Gratin (more onions, garlic, canned tomatoes, eggs and cheese). I also regularly make huevos rancheros and breakfast tacos with eggs.

Anyone else finding eggs to be a great fall-back?
