Chopped

If any of you watch the Food Network you know what show I'm talking about. It's another one of those reality tv shows involving chefs. Basically, there are 4 chefs and one gets cut after each course of a meal. They cook an appetizer, dinner and dessert. This weekend Tessa challenged Dad to a Chopped competition. It was quite the event. They cooked dinner and dessert.

Dinner Ingredients: pork chops, bacon, avocado and a special cheese we found.

Winner: Squareknot

He made chili rellenos with spanish rice and guacamole. It was as good as it sounded.

Tessa made a 3 cheese, 3 meat breakfast taco with avocado, tomato salsa.

Dessert Ingredients: Sugar Cookie Dough, Brie Cheese, mango and coconut.

Winner: Tessa
She made a cookie sandwich with a cream filling mixed with brie cheese, mango, strawberries, and coconut. It was covered with strawberries and chocolate. It was amazing.

Squareknot made a mango raspberry cobler that was very tasty.


In the end it really was a split decision. Half of us agreed that dinner was the most important meal and therefore, Squareknot was the winner. The other half passionatly disagreed and said that dessert was more important and therefore, Tessa should win. It was a very close competition. All in all they both did amazing!

oh my goodness I look so tired! That could possibly be because I AM so tired. Wow 45 minutes straight furious cooking takes it out of you. It was a blast and thank you Shannon Mom and Jordon so much for all your efforts. Without you it would not have been possible!

Peeps, where was my invite???!!! If you ever need a deciding vote, you know where to reach me! I have no idea how you all chose a clear winner because all the dishes sound scrumptious! It really is too bad Stacy (and I) live so far away! You guys do such fun family things!
