• All dishes must have at least one [food group], if your dish doesn't have one, you're disqualified! (Up the count to 5 ingredients max per dish)
• Actually make the improvised dishes with real food
• Shorten the timer
• Everyone swaps hands after scavenging the house
• No [food group] allowed
• Tournament Elimination Style - after each game, one person is voted OFF, the rest of the players continue until only one is left standing
