Hello!

It’s time for our first Taste of the Holidays Tasting Meeting! Thank you to everyone for helping make this event a success and to Taryn for hosting this event. We can’t wait to gather and start sampling recipes for this year’s menu.

Meeting Details
Date: Tuesday, July 21
Time: 6:00–8:00 p.m.
Location: Taryn’s House

Temple, TX 76502

Please take a moment to review the SignUpGenius and sign up to bring one of the following:

  • Baked Potato Soup
  • Baked Potatoes (main dish or side dish)
  • Rolls/Breads

As you prepare your recipe, please make note of:

  • Any modifications or substitutions you make
  • The approximate cost of ingredients
  • The number of servings the recipe yields

This information will help us determine serving sizes and estimate the cost per plate as we finalize our menu.

For this first tasting, we’ll focus on baked potatoes and baked potato soup as we decide whether they will be featured as the main entrée or served as a side dish. We’ll also sample a variety of breads and begin brainstorming additional menu items to complement the meal.

Attached are some recipe options we’d like to try. If you choose to prepare one of the attached recipes, please indicate which recipe you’ll be making in the comments section of the SignUpGenius so we can avoid duplicates.
