From the New York Times (NYT) blog:
Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move!
campaign will announce a nationwide recipe contest for children ages 8
to 12 on Monday afternoon, with a winner to be chosen from each state
and territory. All 56 winners of the Healthy Lunchtime Challenge will
attend a gala Kids’ “State Dinner,” to be hosted by Mrs. Obama at the
White House in August (airfare and hotel included).
The challenge: invent a lunch recipe that is healthy, affordable and tasty, working within the Department of Agriculture’s nutrition guidelines.
An entry can be either a full plate (roasted baby carrots with grilled
tofu and black beans) or a dish (whole-wheat pizza with chicken, onions
and peppers) as long as it includes most of the recommended food
groups: vegetables, whole grains, protein (fish, poultry, meat, soy),
dairy and fruit. Help from grown-ups is allowed, as needed; no
unsupervised knife tasks or cooking over open flame, please. The
deadline for entries is June 17.
