Tomato Soup
From this recipe. We made one pot strictly veggie, and made our own veggie stock with onions, carrots, and celery. This pot came out very nice! The pot using premade chicken stock and staying truer to the recipe came out too salty and less textured/exciting.
Potato Rolls
Homemade, from this recipe. We used half yellow and half sweet potato, which made for a nice golden color in the final product. They turned out beautiful.
Pulled Pork
From a secret Stetson family recipe. The pork butt slow roasted in the oven all day, and came out great.
Cole Slaw
This recipe was delicious, but served about twice as many as it claimed to.
Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Frosting
Made from this recipe. This was a big hit, and was reported by more than one diner to be the best chocolate cake they'd ever had.
There were a lot of changes for the icing. We were out of eggs (and suspicious of serving raw egg anyway), so we substituted a couple tablespoons of cream for the egg yolk in the icing. We also skipped the instant coffee in the icing, since some commenters said the result was too coffee-tasting. Finally, we were out of semisweet chocolate, and so used 6 oz. unsweetened chocolate plus 6 tbsp granulated sugar per recipe of icing.
