Each kid was given a score card and had to rate each other. The categories were:
- effort
- nutrition
- taste
- presentation
I was proud to say they had given each other very commendable points and applauded each other with their efforts (go figure!?). So without further ado, here are the results:
Samantha: Frozen Pineapple Sorbet
Zachary: Mint Chocolate Shakes (his own recipe)
Adam: Berry Smoothies
It seemed to be a frozen dessert theme night. So to mix it up a bit, I also whipped up a hot taco dip (to kill the chill).
The winner was Samantha who really kicked up her presentation by serving hers in martini glasses with skewers of blueberries and fancy umbrellas. Great job, Samantha! Zachary scored the highest in the taste category with Adam scoring the highest in nutrition. A grand effort by all!
As usual, they are more than willing to share their recipes.
