Girls' Night Out Cook-Off!

Thanks to Jen and Monica, the girls of Bethany Youth Group had an awesome time at this month's GNO :) The Cook-Off competition was a huge success and a ton of fun!

on your marks, get set, go!

The winning team, "Team Amazing" (Lindsay, Libby, Katie, and Amy) lead in a surprising victory over "AAA ATTACK!" (Alicia, Amber, and Anna) with only a point to spare! They were judged on 1) their use of $10, 2) taste, 3) presentation, 4) creativity, 5) incorporating the 3 randomly drawn colors

Team Amazing takes 1st Place in GNO's 1st Annual Cook-Off!

The winning recipe needed to incorporate colors: blue, purple, and orange.  They made an exquisite mixed berry smoothie along side a waffle topped with berries and an orange slice.
They used Krusteaz waffle mix and a Costco recipe for the smoothie:
Very Very Berry Smoothie
3/4 c. (6oz) Dannon Light 'n Fit Strawberry Yogurt
3/4 c. (5oz) mixed Frozen berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries) -or- 3/4 c. fresh berries & 1c. crushed ice
1 banana, peeled and cut in chunks
Place all ingredients in a blender; process until smooth and serve immediately. (Makes 1 serving)


AAA ATTACK, 
the runner-ups, needed to incorporate colors: brown, black, and yellow. They served a very unique and tasty cupcake.

Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes:
1 box yellow cake mix (and ingredients needed to prepare as directed)
24 ice cream cones
chocolate chips
sprinkles
milk chocolate frosting
Prepare cupcake mix as box directs. Wrap foil around bottom of each ice cream cone (to prevent toppling cones) and place in an individual muffin tin. Then place 1/4 c. of batter into each cone (fill cone until it begins to widen at the top). Sprinkle batter with a few chocolate chips. Bake for about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let them cool completely (to speed that up, pop the pan into the freezer for about 10 minutes and they should be good to frost). Frost with the milk chocolate frosting and sprinkle each top.
