  • Once three options are made, participants vote on the options and the menu with the most votes is what will be prepared the following week.
  • During the fall session, a vote resulted in a tie between two choices and the participants were more than happy with the solution of preparing the two choices over the following two weeks.
  • During the six weeks, participants prepared items such as pasta and meat sauce, garlic bread and Caesar salad, make your own personal pizza, macaroni and cheese, beef and fish tacos, and garden salads.
  • For the final week, participants invited family and friends for dinner.
