In case those of you who lived through the 60s, 70s, and 80s have never really thought about it, these weren't great years for the culinary world. Think lots of processed food:) We turned out ok - right. Debatable. Ha!Ha! We are going to throw health out the window and take a food walk down memory lane. We are not promising delicious - but I bet these dishes will bring back some memories.
UC #3 will provide main dishes and drinks. You all will provide desserts and sides. We are asking each family to contribute $10 to offset some costs since our UC team is so small.
Main Dishes: Beanie Weenies and Hamburger Helper (we'll also have grilled hot dogs in case you just can't go there
Dessert: We are having a JELLO COOK-OFF!!!! Please bring a jello salad or jello dessert - if you can put it in a mold - even better. Judges will be looking for presentation and taste.
Sides and Snacks are up to you all. Please plan to bring two things from the following list or do your own research. Maybe make one of your childhood favorites.
