Many college students miss their familys home-cooked meals. So for nearly nine years, through 蹤獲扦s innovative Taste of Home program, Dining Services has invited students and family members to submit favorite recipes that 蹤獲扦s 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 蹤獲扦 parent Debbie McKinney won for her turkey chili recipea favorite of her daughter Dana, a first-year photo illustration major.
The crockpot recipe makes a large batch, so we keep it in smaller containers in the freezer, ready to thaw, heat and enjoy anytime, wrote McKinney in her submission. Since its not spicy, and because I use black beans instead of red beans, it doesnt create indigestion, as some chili recipes do.
McKinney won two tickets to the Student Affairs loge for the weekends football game, and her chili was served there and at the Eastway Caf矇. (Turns out McKinney is no stranger to serving a crowdshe owns Time to Spare, a corporate and nonprofit event planning and gift service in Akron.)
I love her turkey chili, like all my friends and family do, says her daughter, Dana. Shes a really good cook.
