John Adams; Gingerbread Cake
Cinnamon and molasses are the secret ingredients in this glazed cake.

Ronald Reagan: Holiday Cookie Pizza
This dessert pizza is topped with gumdrops, chopped mint kisses, or jelly beans. Ronald Reagan would have topped his version with coconut jelly beans.

Abraham Lincoln: Oyster and Scallop Stew
One of Abraham Lincoln's favorite dishes, this seafood special can be served to a house full of guests or just the two of you.

Jimmy Carter: (Sirloin) Steak
This savory sirloin is complete with snipped rosemary and fresh basil. Sirloin was a favorite of President (and former peanut farmer) Jimmy Carter.

John Kennedy: Clam Chowder
At the time clam chowder was being served in the White House during John Kennedy's term, the country was also watching Julia Child create classic French dishes from a makeshift TV studio in Boston.

Andrew Jackson: Sweet Potatoes
These classic mashed sweet potatoes were one of Andrew Jackson's favorite side dishes. A little bit of milk allows these sweet potatoes to be fluffed to perfection.

George Washington: Trifle
Before he was president, George Washington reportedly chopped down his father's cherry tree. His favorite food was the dessert trifle, which can be doused with spirits or topped with fresh fruits.

Ronald Reagan certainly had a sweet tooth - the cookie pizza sounds way too sweet for me but the gingerbread cake that John Adams liked sounds good and doesn't look too difficult to make-might just try it out.Thanks!
