Turkey Bowl & Casserole Cook-Off

We Gather Together... (notice the clean plates!)

The Magic Jello Casserole - thanks Tami!

We STILL got it!

After 17 downs, Team Trusheim makes a score!

The Lady Playa's
Daddy's Little Cub!

In an effort to bring together the parts we love about Thanksgiving (our friends, hanging out, playing football, enjoying Cream of Mushroom soup in many textures) and lose the parts we can do without (35 hours of baking/prep and slavery in the kitchen), the Casserole Cook-Off was born. Everyone was encouraged to dig thru Grandma's recipe box to find a casserole to celebrate the season. Digging thru boxes is a specialty of this group, and dig they did. The winners of the night:

Best Traditional Sarah Littlefield - green bean casserole (invented by Campbell's BTW)
Tastiest/Gourmet Mascha - some magical fancy cheesy potato casserole - yum!
Crappiest Allie and Aly - an old family recipe of Frito Pie. Delicious!
Fanciest Tami & Sandy - Magical stripey jello salad (?!?)
Best not-stripey jello - Beth & Jen (bonus points for bringing the puppy chow crappie appie!)
Best item in a blanket - Joey - Pigs in a Blanket
Best use of leftovers - Cherri & Taya - just like thanksgiving in a bath of C of M soup.
Best use of Tuna "Pada suprise"?? - Kristin & Sam - Tuna and Pasta. Yep.

Good times, good times.
