So, if you weren't already a fan of Girl Scout cookies (and let's be real, who isn't) maybe one of the many foods and desserts made from them will be enough to convince you.
Girl Scouts Louisiana East hosted their Cookies & Cocktails Gala, on February 20 in Generations Hall where celebrity judges sampled several selections of appetizers, desserts, cocktails and more. The food and drinks all incorporated Girl Scout cookies in exciting and unorthodox ways.
The Girl Scouts Louisiana East announced their winners so check them out! In the dessert category, Chef Eugene Temple of Café Reconcile won with his Caramel deLite Pudding. Chef Ed Rhinehart from Seed was the winner of the appetizer category with his Lemon Artichoke Cake. Best cocktail was awarded to Dave Jackson of Fulton Alley for his "Gimme Samoa" cocktail and Corporate Exec Chef Deanna Stephens of Winn-Dixie/Southern Grocers was the "People's Choice" winner for her Cranberry Citrus Cookie stuffing with fresh collards, braised Creole pork and a Cranberry Citrus Cookie sauce.
