Mystery dinner

So if you read my blog a few post back you know We were going to have a date night with my sister and her husband. We chose 5 food items for the other team. they had to make a main dish a side dish and a dessert in an hour, we had about 20 min to plan before cooking. well it was a success we liked all the food and came really close in the points. We lost, but that's okay.

We chose for them: tortilla chips, broccoli, yogurt(vanilla and pear), pears, bacon.

They made: cheesy broccoli soup, with diced pears in it, yogurt, bacon and then chips crumbled on top. a salad on the side with all the ingredients in it. I've had a similar salad before with raisins in replace of the pears. then they found a recipe on line for bacon cookies, they added the yogurt and pears to it. It was a very yummy dinner.

They chose for us: Lemons, cream cheese, cheerios, sausage, cucumber.

We made: some German dish we found online (favorite Tuna Dish- on cooks.com). It was like a meatloaf with tuna and sausage, It asked for all but the cream cheese. well we did replace the bread crumbs with cheerio crumbs. It had a cucumber sauce to put on top. I made my non-bake cheese cake. It uses lemon juice and cream cheese, I made the graham cracker crust out of cheerios, then I made a cucumber salad with a lemon dressing.

our points were set up as fallows
