Taste of Home Competition Announces Winning Recipe

Taste of Home winnerŠćÉ«appā€™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 Kent State parent.

The Taste of Home competition encourages studentsā€™ family members to submit recipes of their studentā€™s favorite home-cooked meals for the chance to have it served on campus.

According to the Taste of Home webpage, ā€œKent State believes parents and grandparents are the best resource available to make our local menu more like home.ā€

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

ā€œI honestly didnā€™t know that my mom entered the contest,ā€ Dana McKinney says. ā€œShe didnā€™t tell me, so I was really excited when she did explain what it was, and I was surprised.ā€

McKinneyā€™s chili was served at Eastway CafĆ© on Sept. 16 and in the Division of Student Affairs loge for Kent Stateā€™s football game on Sept. 17.

ā€œI love her turkey chili, like all my friends and family do,ā€ Dana McKinney says. ā€œItā€™s her thing, and I was really excited and happy for her. Sheā€™s a really good cook.ā€

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