Did you catch the season premiere of MasterChef Junior Season 3 on Fox last night? We got our popcorn ready and watched as a family!
There are some talented young ones on there and the season started out with 3 DFW area kiddos – at the end of last night episode there are two out of the three still in the competition!
My favorite challenge was the elimination round – the contestants had to make their own pappardelle – from scratch! There were all kinds of delicious looking concoctions but my favorite was Andrew’s Pappardelle with Bacon Cream Sauce – WOW!
OK, my early favorites are Jack, Andrew and Ryan Kate. But how can you not love little 8 year old Riley from Dallas – he’s AMAZING! Not only can he speak German, French and English, he can cook..and he’s EIGHT!! I can’t wait to see what this season has in store for us!
It’s not too late to watch the first episode that aired last night – head over HERE and watch it online on FOX.
Meet the Junior Chefs of Season 3 HERE.
We received a MasterChef Junior Warm Winter Kit in the mail and my daughter (9 years old and a HUGE fan) got to work on her little creation. She went for the Dark Chocolate Hot Cocoa and insisted that we go for a “snowball/winter” theme – hence the blue coconut on top of the whipped creme (with marshmallows on the side)!
We made our Pecan Coconut Snowball Cookies to dip in the cocoa (or just to EAT – I can’t eat just one. Or 5.)
We’d love to give 5 of our MyDFWMommy readers their very own MasterChef Junior Warm Winter Kits just like the one pictured above (RV $45)! To enter, tell us who you’re rooting for this season and why!
