This is a fun activity to do for a date night, or with kids, or just with yourself. Think of a food you like to eat multiple different ways! Instantly I think of hot dogs, tacos, pizza, pasta, breakfast bowls, sandwiches, toast, yogurt parfaits. Come up with a list to make them 3 or 4 different ways, and then do a taste test!!
