This Cooking Army went fantastic with 2 of the sauces being great, butternut squash soup was amazing as ever, and I stumbled upon a great flour-less chocolate cake recipe. Had a good turnout too with about 15 people.

This was the weakest sauce of the night, which is to say, it’s a perfectly decent tomato cream sauce. It’s good, but nothing fantastic about it.
North Carolina-Style Vinegar Barbecue Sauce – http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/food-network-kitchens/north-carolina-style-vinegar-barbecue-sauce-recipe.html
This was a creeper, it looked very watery and it’s initial taste was a bit strange, but then the chipotle spice hit you and it was great. I think this is perfect for chicken, but could be great on other plain meats.

The sauce was fantastic, but was a bit overshadowed by how good the flour-less chocolate cake it was being poured over was.

This tied many peoples favorite of the night with the butternut squash soup and that’s saying something because that’s one of our best recipes ever. It was very moist without being cake-y and too fluffy. Using Ghirardelli bittersweet chocolate probably helped.
Butternut Squash Soup – http://www.food.com/recipe/creamy-roasted-butternut-squash-soup-188978
This is one of our best recipes and there’s a reason I won’t use another until someone show’s me a better one. An all time favorite and one of tonight’s favorites.
