Family Food Fight

Battle "grilled"

The theme tonight was “grilled” and the “food fight” was between me, cassie and nana.

The categories were the usual first course & main course, and for the first-time ever, the third course was a “wild card option” of appetizer or dessert.

Mom picked the wild card and did both. A whole wheat pizzette stuffed with ricotta and bacon, topped with montrey jack cheese, chorizo and grilled onion was her appetizer. For dessert, she presented honey-grilled pineapple slices with peaches and a spicy Thai-chile peanut sauce.

I selected first course and presented a sweet/tart grilled duo. Sweet - a sweet sherry, buere blanc seared scallop and roasted corn salad. Tart - a cedar plank, grilled calamari steak over oregano-lemon dressed european greens.

Cassie got main course and she prepared a kabob duo accompanied by roasted tomato salad and baby roasted Peruvian potatoes. The first kabob was a standard beef with portobellos and zucchini and the second was a cassie’s re-invention of ‘pork chops with apple sauce’
