Awesome Wawesome VIII: The 3rd Anniversary Edition

December 21, 2011-

So Fall 2011 was the first semester that every one of us had spent off at our respective colleges so of course we demanded that an Awesome Wawesome occur over the break. It happened almost exactly 3 years after the pioneer AW! And everyone was present for this one, which was incredible in itself. Onto the food!

Mac & Cheese with Roasted Chicken, Goat Cheese, and Rosemary

Rosemary Olive Oil Bread

(Pictured with olive oil/spice blend for dipping the bread and the freshly grated parmesan cheese)

Cookie Dough Egg Rolls

Served with vanilla ice cream and topped with chocolate syrup.

Sweet Potato Pie

Chocolate Microwave Fudge

Marty kinda made a mess outta the fudge...

It was all super delicious and I am definitely making that Mac & Cheese for other events- it was SO good! I made the bread for Christmas with the family too, it rose better and wasn't as dense as ours was here.

Awesome Wawesome VII: Foodception

May 15th, 2011-

So after a long hiatus due to this thing called "college," we all returned (well, and Alex remained) for the Spring 2011 edition of the AW. The theme of this one was "Foodception" aka food inside of food. Here were our dishes:

Chicken Pillows

Fruit Salsa & Cinnamon Chips served over Vanilla Ice Cream (because what would an AW be without Fruit Salsa?!)

Mississippi Mud Cake

(Yes, we all survived through the night and as far as I know none of us has developed diabeetus.)

And if there was more food, I can't remember and that's what I get for waiting almost a year to update the blog. Whoops. Good thing this is mostly for our memories! I'm happy to report that this was not our last AW and we had minimal Apples to Apples casualties.

Meek? Really?

Awesome Wawesome VI: STAR WARS THEME

So Awesome Wawesome VI is just around the corner, about a week away, and I've already decided what I will be making. It's not necessarily Star Wars themed, but I'll do something else related to that too. I'm using this post to brag about/save the recipe I'm using. I'll update again during/after the event :)

Nutella Crepes with Strawberry & Banana (didn't happen, but I'm leaving it up here because I want to share it)

Darkside Cake

Solo (fruit) Salsa

Chewbacca Chocolate Pie

Awesome Wawesome V: Beginning of Spring 2010

The most recent one! Everything was absolutely excellent.

Alex: Fruit Salsa with Cinnamon Sugar chips (SO GOOD) and Rachel Ray's Smoky Mac & Cheddar with Chorizo

Jessie: Cherry Pie (In honor of Pi Day!)

Michael: Sweet Potato Fries

Joseph: P.F. Chang's Chicken Lettuce Wraps, Strawberry and Blackberry Frozen Ice Pops

Cassaundra... Didn't get around to making them during the actual event because we were crunched for time, but the plan was for Chocolate Peanut Butter Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Frosting

Awesome Wawesome IV: The Anniversary! Winter 2009

Lets just jump right to the food, shall we?

Michael: Garlic Chicken slow-cooked in Cream of Chicken

Martin: Croissants stuffed with cheese and pepperoni, Swedish meatballs with gravy, spiced apple cider

Cassaundra: Salad (original, I know.)

Alex: Spoon Pie (easy recipe for chocolatey goodness! It's like a brownie that's not cooked all the way, served with ice cream)

Jessie: Mediterranean Pasta (with sun-dried tomatoes, white beans, lemon, garlic, pine nuts, etc)

Joseph: Fruity Frozen Ice Pops! Rasberry, I believe.

Also at this AW we had a chocolate fountain with various delicious items to dip in it- pretzels, apples, marshmellows, etc

Awesome Wawesome III: Thanksgiving 2009

One main dish and lots of dishes that are incredibly bad for you!

Alex & Cassaundra: Pizza

Jessie: Chocolate Peppermint Bars (Basically chocolate-covered peppermint. VERY good candy.) And GIANT chocolate chip cookies just for fun.

Martin: Cheese dip

Cassaundra: Puppy Chow (Quick and easy recipe)

Joseph: Microwaved Peanut Butter Fudge (Alton Brown's Recipe)

Michael: More sweet potato pies...

Awesome Wawesome II: Summer 2009

As I recall, we didn't make too much at this one. The only thing that stands out was Martin's DELICIOUS Caramel Apple Cheesecake. Alex, Jessie, Joseph, Michael, Martin- You have better memories than I do. Maybe you remember this one better?
