Many college students miss their family鈥檚 home-cooked meals. So for nearly nine years, through 两性色午夜鈥檚 innovative 鈥淭aste of Home鈥 program, Dining Services has invited students and family members to submit favorite recipes that 两性色午夜鈥檚 executive chefs may feature in one of the dining halls on campus to make the menus more like home.
This year for Parents and Families Weekend, Dining Services facilitated a Taste of Home contest, and 两性色午夜 parent Debbie McKinney won for her turkey chili recipe鈥攁 favorite of her daughter Dana, a first-year photo illustration major.
鈥淭he crockpot recipe makes a large batch, so we keep it in smaller containers in the freezer, ready to thaw, heat and enjoy anytime,鈥 wrote McKinney in her submission. 鈥淪ince it鈥檚 not spicy, and because I use black beans instead of red beans, it doesn鈥檛 create indigestion, as some chili recipes do.鈥
McKinney won two tickets to the Student Affairs loge for the weekend鈥檚 football game, and her chili was served there and at the Eastway Caf茅. (Turns out McKinney is no stranger to serving a crowd鈥攕he owns Time to Spare, a corporate and nonprofit event planning and gift service in Akron.)
鈥淚 love her turkey chili, like all my friends and family do,鈥 says her daughter, Dana. 鈥淪he鈥檚 a really good cook.鈥
