Hello, fellow Americans! If you're looking to leave a legacy in your kitchen, then we urge you to triumphantly give Presidential Chicken your vote for dinner tonight. Why should you trust this humble, brilliant, man-of-the-people poultry dish? We're glad you asked; we'd be happy to share our delicious campaign with you. First of all, these thighs bring a crispiness that we the people love dearly. Oh, and that creamy, cheesy, spinach-filled sauce is rich, and we know that's what we all aspire to be... (with joy and happiness that is, of course.) Finally, the ingredients are simple, and you likely already have them in your (presidential) cabinet. See? There's really no debate needed to convince you to give Presidential Chicken your (presidential) seal of approval. If you choose to make it, we're sure you'll be recommended for Commander-in-Chief of the kitchen, and that's pretty important. Thank you for letting us address this. Now, go, enjoy, and prosper!

This seemingly simple casserole has a presidential taste to it that would make quite a splash at formal dinners! White House Casserole mixes egg noodles with tangy sour cream and cottage cheese for a creamy, cheesy sauce that's so delicate it must be tasted to be believed! It's a joy to have on the table and to share with the most important people in your life, whether they are heads-of-state or not! White House Casserole is worth saluting!

When you think of President Ronald Reagan, you might think about his beaming Hollywood smile or his loveable, charismatic relatability. But after you taste his very cheesy President Reagan's Favorite Mac 'n Cheese, this is what will come to mind immediately. Your taste buds will express with patriotic cheer how fond they are of the tender macaroni noodles all nestled together with melty cheesy goodness! And apparently President Reagan's Favorite Mac 'n Cheese is a dish that First Lady Nancy would serve the 40th president on the regular, so you can dine just like him... but maybe just minus the grandiose-ness of the White House dining room.

Surprisingly, our 16th President had quite the sweet tooth. Among his favorite dishes was a seemingly humble, but truly amazing, almond cake. Abe Lincoln's Almond Cake is basically exactly what he would have loved: a buttery, tender, and sweet cake filled with crunchy nuts. When frosted with boiled icing (another of Honest Abe's honest-to-goodness favorites), Abe Lincoln's Almond Cake is a dessert of presidential quality!

Go ahead and cue "Hail to the Chief" because this Presidential Crumb Cake is about to be voted commander-in-chief over all of your desserts! The people have tasted and spoken, and have voiced that this moist, crumbly, cinnamon slice-of-yum is one worthy of a presidential seal. Get ready to impeach your current top contender, because this sweet and buttery campaign is about to take over. Tasty eaten in the Oval Office and in your kitchen alike, this Presidential Crumb Cake will certainly make you feel quite patriotic with every morsel!
America's 35th president was a New Englander through and through. Among his favorite meals was a delicately flavored, creamy chowder which reminded him of his home state. JFK Chowder is fantastically filled with bites of tender white fish and hearty potatoes. It's a rich, warming dish perfect for cold winter nights or de-stressing after busy days. JFK Chowder is a soup of Camelot caliber.

A presidential-level snack for a presidential-level party! And so fast to throw together, too! This First Lady Guacamole is how a simple but delicious guacamole needs to be done; with the creamy avocado dip loaded with bright citrus and sharp onion flavors, and a hint of heat thanks to the jalapeño mixed in. First Lady Guacamole knows that a great dip can make a party a truly fantastic experience and focuses on being the best dip it can be! You can just taste the results!

A breakfast fit for the first lady! Eleanor Roosevelt's Scrambled Eggs is how eggs should be made: creamy, fluffy, hearty, and truly satisfying! It's also a simple dish to make; nothing too elaborate or difficult. All it requires is a soft hand and patience. Eleanor Roosevelt's Scrambled Eggs make the breakfast table feel much more presidential!

This isn't just called Barbara Bush's Mushroom Quiche for the fun of it (although it is a fun name)! It's actually a favorite recipe in the Bush family household, and it's easy to see why! The flaky, buttery crust supporting the fluffy bed of eggs, filled with beautifully seasoned mushrooms, and crisp green onions would entice anybody! Let's make breakfast presidentially posh with Barbara Bush's Mushroom Quiche!

Jackie Kennedy was a woman of class and grace. She wouldn't be content with just throwing some cut-up fruit together and calling it a fruit salad. So, you shouldn't be either! Jackie Kennedy's Melon Mix takes the fruit salad and makes sure to zhush it up to presidential levels! The melon cubes are soaked in corn syrup to ensure each one is truly sweet before they get mixed with sunny strawberries, electric oranges, and tropical pineapples! Oh, and a touch of cool mint means Jackie Kennedy's Melon Mix is as refreshing as any treat on the table! Let the summer roll off you!

While the 40th President of the United States was very well-known for having a sugary sweet tooth (it's said he loved jellybeans and licorice), this movie star turned politician had savory cravings, too. Ronald Reagan's Favorite Hamburger Soup highlights the love he had for juicy ground beef soaking in a salty and veggie-filled broth. Can't you just picture him returning from a long day of making big decisions and giving big speeches, sitting at the table sipping on an even bigger bowl of this simply delicious soup? It probably felt so comforting, reconnecting him back with his slow-paced Midwestern roots. Well, now you can soak up all the rich history as you enjoy a bowl of Ronald Reagan's Favorite Hamburger Soup!

The bearded sixteenth president was as American as it gets given one of his favorite desserts was the juicy, sweet apple pie. Well, knowing this, we wanted to honor him with a sugary treat we call Lincoln's Bread Pudding. It's layered with warm, tender Granny Smith apples topped with melty butter, rich spices, and a little bit of breadcrumbs for the perfect crunch. To add a little more sweetness, there's a rich cream sauce poured all over. A treat fit enough for a leader and humble enough for your own table. That's Lincoln's Bread Pudding, for ya!

Teddy R's Birthday Cake is fit for a president! Teddy Roosevelt was known for his love of food and a rich chocolate cake like this one was one of his favorites. Imagine a slice of this decadent deliciousness being served up in the White House for one of Teddy's birthdays. The aroma of a freshly baked cake wafting through the halls and the excitement in the air as the cake is being prepared and the party is getting started. Now, Teddy R's Birthday Cake can bring a little piece of history to your own celebrations, and you can indulge in the same cake that once graced the table of one of America's most beloved presidents!

If there's something you need to know about any president's better half, it's that she knows how to throw the most extravagant gatherings with the tastiest bites. While this First Lady Dip might not have come straight from the White House, we are pretty confident that if the leading lady got a taste of its creaminess, crunchiness, and sweetness, she would certainly want it at all her patriotic parties. She would serve it with a fancy, buttery cracker, and all her guests would rave. She wouldn't let anyone know that her luxuriously delicious First Lady Dip only takes fifteen minutes to come together; no, that yummy detail would require top-secret-clearance!
