5th Annual Healthy Lunchtime Challenge

Healthy Lunchtime Challenge & Kids' State Dinner

The 5th Annual Healthy Lunchtime Challenge is currently underway! Kids 8-12 years old are invited to join a parent or guardian in creating an original MyPlate-inspired recipe that is healthy, creative, affordable and delicious. The recipe should followMyPlate nutrition guidelines and this year, in celebration of the MyPlate, MyStateinitiative, it's encouraged that entries include local ingredients grown in your state, territory, and community.

The chef who created it, along with a parent or guardian, could win a trip to Washington, D.C. to attend the 5th Annual Kids’ “State Dinner” at the White House. Only one recipe from each of the 50 states (plus Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, and the 4 U.S. territories) will make the grade, so enter now!

Recipes must be submitted by April 4, 2016!
