So the activity on Saturday was a huge success. ¬†Our secret ingredient was cocoa powder. ¬†We had to use it in 3 courses: an appetizer, a main dish, and a dessert. ¬†We left the church at 12:15 and headed to the store. ¬†We had a couple cookbooks and chose recipes on the way so we would purchase all the ingredients we needed. ¬†For our appetizer we decided to do biscuits, of course they were chocolate biscuits because of adding the cocoa powder. ¬†They were pretty nasty tasting after they were cooked, they tasted fine before they were put in the oven.

¬†For our main dish we made Stuffed Spinach Shells. ¬†We used ricotta cheese, cream cheese, spinach, and of course cocoa. ¬†:) ¬†You couldn’t really taste the cocoa. ¬†They turned out okay. ¬†I wouldn’t make them again, at least not with cocoa.

For dessert we made a chocolate pizza. ¬†It had a sugar cookie crust, cream cheese & cocoa for the frosting, and peanut butter chips and chocolate chips on top. ¬†We also drizzled chocolate sauce over the top. ¬†It was the best hing we made. ¬†

One of the other teams made things like: Chocolate¬†croissants, chocolate breaded chicken, chocolate mousse crepes, rice with chicken boullian, cocoa, and cinnamon in it.

¬†The third team made: Chocolate covered strawberries, Chocolate tri-tip, Layered chocolate mousse. ¬†

I was tired of chocolate at the end of the end of the night. ¬†Sounds funny but it is true. ¬†

Our team came in 2nd. ¬†We were happy with that. ¬†
