Healthy Recipe Competition Among Kids

Apparently, First Lady Obama is hosting a competition called Recipes for Healthy Kids! This competition was kick started last September as a way for schools to come together to develop easy and healthy recipes that could be incorporated into the school lunch schedule! This activity is inspiring! The competition allows for kids to get involved and make the changes they will be seeing in the future. It can provide positive outlooks for them making changes to their own lives.

The judging round for the 15 semi finalist schools will begin soon and the categories include whole wheat grains, dark green and orange vegetables and dry beans and peas.

I feel like it is vital to get the kids involved to make a lasting impact. This competition does just that and I hope the kids lifestyle choices will be changed for the better!
