We had a really fun Family Home Evening tonight. We love the Food Network show Chopped. We decided to do our own version of chopped. We all went to the store and picked out a 'secret' ingredient. Then we paid for our groceries and came home. We then put our names in a hat. The first three names would be on one team with each of their ingredients, and the three names that were left would be on the other team with their ingredients. The rules are you have to use each ingredient somewhere in the dish, you could also make use of anything in the 'pantry/storage room.
This is what the teams and ingredients looked like: Layne (steak), Andrew (zucchini) and Katie (beef jerky) on team 1. 
Team 2 was made up of Julie (Fennel), Connor (Strawberry Fruit & Grain bars) and Cole (Easy Cheese AKA cheese wiz). 
We got together in our teams and made up our recipes. Team 1 made Flavor blasted goldfish encrusted steak bites with zucchini, jerky, tomato and cheese side dish. 
Team 2 made a fennel, celery & mandarin orange salad with fruit & grain bar crumbles/croutons served with a cheesy vinigarette dressing.
It actually turned out really yummy. It was fun to be creative and work together to come up with something edible. None of us had ever had fennel before. It was actually quite good.
