They did it!

Zach and his classmate not only competed, but they snagged first place at the cooking competition!  Woohoo!

I didn't get great photos b/c I was busy supervising and making sure injuries were kept to a minimum.  The box of 'surprise' ingredients held ground sirloin, bell peppers, new red potatoes and zucchini.

They made a southwest style mini burger mixing the meat with crumbled queso fresco, fresh cilantro, salt, pepper and a few other spices (shhhh, it's a secret!) and they made fresh chimichurri sauce to drizzle on top. For the veggie portion, they decided to replicate a recipe we came up with during a practice session and dove into the fridge for EGGPLANT to mix with the zucchini and bell peppers for a Mexican inspired ratatouille.  Weird, yes.  But sooo tasty.  The taters were chopped up small, tossed with oil and diced onion and fried up skillet style.

Yeah, the judges loved it.

Here are the few pitiful photos I took.  But big ol' WOOT!!  They did AWESOME!!!!!
