We decided for Valentine's Day to have round two of "Iron Chef Wright". We had this competition two years ago, and Lee and Tricia won the title of Iron Chef. This year the "secret ingredient" we chose was sausage, thanks to Brayden. All of my brothers and sisters who live in Utah, and their spouses participated, with the exception of Tera's husband, Erick, who is serving in the military. 
Steve and I decided to try our luck at Stuffed Manicotti, and for our dessert we made chocolate covered strawberries. We were all supposed to make any type of dessert, that we would not be judged on. Steve is an amazing chef, and really helped me to step it up a bit, he has great taste, and really wanted to make our plate look nice. 
Because Erick was gone, we had Tera be our judge. She judged on taste, use of the secret ingredient, and presentation. We each took 1/2 hour to shop and 1 hour to cook.
Here are the dishes each couple made. Erin and Brayden made stuffed mushrooms, and alfredo pizza. Their dessert was chocolate cookies, raspberries, with white chocolate whipped cream, very good! Lee and Tricia made fresh pizza, and a sausage dip with chips. For dessert they made a coconut, rice pudding. It was delicious. Jared and Casi made penne al forte, and salad. For dessert, they made rootbeer floats, yummy! All I can say is EVERYTHING was Wonderful!! I ate so much, I thought I was going to pop.
Tera is tallying up the scores... it was a really fun day. Good food, and good fun. Tera said that our manicotti tied with Lee and Tricia's dip and chips, but because Lee and Tricia won last time, they let me and Steve take home the Iron Chef Wright apron. We were so happy.
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!
