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?

Awesome Wawesome I: Winter 2008

This was the ORIGINAL AWESOME WAWESOME!

Forgive me that I don't remember the recipes, but I do remember the dishes:

Jessie: Chocolate Cream Puffs

Martin: Cake with Cream Cheese Icing

Michael: Sweet Potato Pie

Cassaundra: Ghirardelli Triple Chocolate Brownies (from a box, not from scratch)

Everyone: Sugar Cookies

(And Joseph assisted with whatever needed to be done- I seem to recall he was excellent at separating egg whites & whipping cream... or something like that!)

The Story Behind the Awesome Wawesome

Once upon a time, 5 friends got together to bake delicious goodies for a school service project. The creator of the event dubbed this get-together "The Awesome Wawesome Super Duper Thing." While sampling the assorted items, the conversation drifted to something along the lines of "what if we did this again, just for us, and cooked a full meal?" Alas, the tradition of the Awesome Wawesome began. With the addition of another friend, the group planned a day to get together at someone's house and simply cook for the fun, and the food, of it. This blog is just a place to document the dishes we cook and our reactions.
