Taste of Home Competition Announces Winning Recipe

Taste of Home winner91²Ö¿â’s Dining Services recently hosted its annual Taste of Home competition and announced the winning dish: a turkey chili recipe submitted by Debbie McKinney, a 91²Ö¿â parent.

The Taste of Home competition encourages students’ family members to submit recipes of their student’s favorite home-cooked meals for the chance to have it served on campus.

According to the Taste of Home webpage, “91²Ö¿â believes parents and grandparents are the best resource available to make our local menu more like home.â€

McKinney surprised her daughter, Dana McKinney, a first-year photo illustration major, with the contest win.

“I honestly didn’t know that my mom entered the contest,†Dana McKinney says. “She didn’t tell me, so I was really excited when she did explain what it was, and I was surprised.â€

McKinney’s chili was served at Eastway Café on Sept. 16 and in the Division of Student Affairs loge for 91²Ö¿â’s football game on Sept. 17.

“I love her turkey chili, like all my friends and family do,†Dana McKinney says. “It’s her thing, and I was really excited and happy for her. She’s a really good cook.â€

Students can submit recipes year-round through the Taste of Home submission form.
