Healthy Kids Challenge announce middle school recipe contest to promote healthy eating

We are partners with a wonderful organization, Healthy Kids Challenge, who shares our mission to help kids eat healthier.  They have just launched a new contest that I wanted to share with you:

Healthy Kids Challenge and featured sponsor, Del Monte, along with educational partners, Johnson & Wales University and Home Baking Association, announce the 9th annual middle school recipe contest "Stirring Up Health™".

The recipe contest provides a fun way for 7th and 8th grade students to relate to food, health, and basic cooking skills. Engage the kids you know to create or modify a recipe to make it healthier using Del Monte fruits, vegetables, or tomatoes.
