A Dining TraditionTaste of Home Plate

Join us for our annual Taste of Home event on Thursday, March 21, 2024, and enjoy the favorite family recipes of UGA students in the dining commons! Snelling, O-House, Village Summit, Bolton, and the Niche (HSC) will serve a selection of family recipes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Those who would like to participate by sending a small taste of home to campus should submit their recipe by 11:59 p.m. on Thursday, November 30, 2023.

Since its start in 1987, Taste of Home has featured more than 3,000 family recipes in our dining commons. Every year, our culinary and nutrition staff select a wide variety of recipes to be served during the event.

Families of the selected recipes will receive a commemorative plate and two complimentary meal passes valid through the end of the 2024 spring semester. Recipes are featured during Taste of Home on Thursday, March 21, 2024.
