Chopped Challenge
Kelly R. said: Make a fun activity out of a family meal or snack by having a competition inspired by the show Chopped! Players make creative use of the ingredients already in the kitchen to come up with fun pantry meals, and a judge decides the winner. It's fun to play this with themed rounds, like "nacho round" or "marshmallow round."
