54 winning healthy lunchtime entries from kids
August 30, 2012 by LindsaySometime ago Epicurious announced The Healthy Lunchtime Challenge. They asked kids between the ages of 8 and 12 to submit healthy lunchtime dishes. They received over 1,200 entries and a distinguished judging panel chose a winning entry from each state and territory. Last Monday, the winners were hosted by Michelle Obama for a “Kids’ State Dinner” (actually lunch).
This was a win-win for all — the kids and parents spent creative time together in the kitchen, the kids (and parents?) learned a little more about cooking and healthy food, and we get to enjoy the fruits of their labor with a downloadable cookbook that Epicurious has made freely available. So take a look at the recipes; we’re sure there will be more than a few that kids – and even non-kids – will truly enjoy. (Being from Massachusetts, we can’t help but be especially proud of the Mass. winning entry of Tapenade and Goat Cheese Sandwich).
