First Annual Family Cook Off

Saturday, we had the first Wallace/Boswell/Fuller Annual Chili Cook Off! Although Tucker and I didn't win, we do believe from the left overs that we were the true winners. Kate Wallace may have won the battle, but we definitely won the war!

Tucker had koozies made.

My sweet husband loves koozies, and he was so very thoughtful to have these made for this occasion. It will be another one to add to our ever growing collection! The competition was fierce, but in the end there could only be one true winner. Congratulations to Kate! Not only did she win the competition, but she also gets to make her award winning chili on Christmas Eve.

The judges. Thanks to John, Al, and Steve!

After the judging!!! We were all stuffed!

Tucker and I were told that our chili was the most traditional. I'm not sure if that hurt us or helped us in the end. We made 8 to 10 serving of chili and hardly had any left!

Yum!

Even better with corn bread!

We owe a special thank you to Mymama for helping us out and letting us practice at her house. She also came up with the secret weapon (Mexican corn bread)! We had a wonderful time! It was another great weekend spent with wonderful company! We will remember these moments with family always!  

We are still deciding what we will cook next year. Enjoy your victory now Kate, because next year we will not be second ranked!
