Recipes For Healthy Kids
USDA announced a recipe competition "to improve school meals and the health of children across the nation through the creation of exciting new recipes for inclusion on school lunch menus." The Recipes for Healthy Kids Challenge encourages teams consisting of a chef, a school nutrition professional, a community member and a student to submit recipes that feature whole grains, dark green and orange vegetables, or dry beans and peas. If you are interested in forming a team, several checkoff-funded, youth-oriented recipes may serve as inspiration: Beef Fried Rice, Saucy Beef Wraps, Beef and Garden Vegetable Pizza and BBQ Beef Sandwiches.
