A "State Dinner" just for kids
Calling
all kid chefs: Here's your chance to share your favorite delicious and
nutritious lunch recipe with First Lady Michelle Obama.
Let's Move!,
the First Lady's initiative to solve the problem of childhood obesity
within a generation, is looking for parents or legal guardians of
creative kid chefs from all over the country to submit their child’s
recipe for a healthy and nutritious lunch.
The rules are simple: All entrants (parents or legal guardians of kids ages 8-12) are encouraged to reference the MyPlate nutritional guidelines
to ensure recipes meet healthy standards. Recipes should include each
of the food groups, either in one dish or as parts of a lunch meal,
including fruit, veggies, whole grains, protein and low-fat dairy foods.
Then in August, Let's Move!
will team up with the Department of Education, USDA, and Epicurious for
a Kid's "State Dinner." Winning recipes will be published in an online
book to help share these new, healthy lunch time ideas.
You
have until June 17 to submit your recipe, so get cooking and share what
you think we should serve for lunch at the White House:
