I am back down in Dallas...this time for over a week! I got in late Friday night and we've already had some excitement. Saturday night, we went to the Dallas Hockey game with the people on Ryan's engagement. Deloitte got a suite so we had comfortable seat and good food. Plus it was an exciting game with a final score of 3-4...way high for a hockey game. We forgot to take a picture at the game, so we took one when we got back:
Now for the main excitement. We had our second Iron Chef Glover Competition. Our secret ingredient was mushrooms. (oh and FYI, one of our favorite cooking shows, "Hell's Kitchen," starts again April 1st).
I made "Maggiano's Stuffed Mushrooms." The ones from Maggiano's are still way better, but it was a start. Ryan used the mushrooms in a pasta. The champion: ERIN. Yay!!!...which means we are 1-1. We decided I won because my dish highlighted the mushroom better (however, it was bit heavy on the breadcrumb topping). Ryan's pasta dish included gorgonzola cheese and it dominated the flavor so you couldn't tell the mushrooms existed.
For Christmas Scott and Lani got us the Iron Chef Glover Chef's hat, so that's what the reigning champion gets. Here is us right after we finished plating (before we decided I won, so Ryan is still has possession of the hat). We had the dishes share a plate this time around. They look pretty good!
We are planning on having another competition this coming Sunday. We would love some recommendations for the secret ingredient (so we've done mushrooms and chicken so far).

We just did this with our YW for an act and we used crescent rolls. We did apps and desserts and had a lot of creative options!
I like your haircut! Scott's suggestion is lamb for the secret ingredient.
Thanks for the email to your blog! We think that your secret ingredient should be ham for easter. Hope you have a great Easter. We love Hell's Kitchen and can't wait for it to start. Love ya!
Erin, you chopped your hair!!! It's really cute!
You guys are so fancy with your iron chef competitions...Bren told me he suggested dandelion stems, sorry about that. (There's a family in our old ward that does a lot of weird cooking with dandelions and he thinks it's funny.) But my idea was cream cheese. I wish I could be in Dallas to judge, especially since it's snowing here AGAIN! Have a fun Easter and good luck, can't wait to hear how it goes!
Wow, you really smoked Bren on that challenge...nice job Erin!
Hi...Okay, So i have been searching for the Maggiano's Stuffed Mushroom recipe..and I cannot find it anywhere...so while searching I came across your blog and saw that you have attempted to make them....well they look identical! LOL So I am very interested in your version of the recipe...if you are willing to share it. My mom is having a 50th birthday party...and i promised her i would try my best to recreate them.
