September Healthy Recipes Contest

September’s focus is on cooking and eating healthfully with your family–show us how you eat healthy at home by entering our healthy recipe contest!

We want to know how you cook healthy at home while still enjoying your favorite dishes. To enter, send us a recipe for your favorite dish with a healthy makeover.

Here’s a few guidelines:

· Recipes should include at least one fruit or vegetable (fruit and veggie juices and purees count!)

· Stay away from the artificial sweetners (Stevia is okay, but we’d love to see how you use honey and agave or brown rice syrups in your dishes)

· Show off your healthy cooking techniques like steaming, broiling, baking, and poaching

The rest is up to you and your creativity!

Submissions are due by September 30. KIDS can enter too! We’ll pick one winner from the adult and kids/teens (up to age 15) category.

The young chef winner will receive a $50 gift certificate and the adult winner will receive a $100 gift certificate good towards any cooking class we offer.

Post your submissions here or on our Facebook page, or e-mail them to us. Happy (healthy) cooking!

 

Psst… if your kids want a few tips on how to cook healthy dishes at home, sign them up for this Sunday’s healthy cooking class with Chef Katie!

  2. Healthy Recipe for Kids | Cookology Blog - September 23, 2011

    [...] Healthy Recipe for Kids Fall is a great time to get back into the kitchen, and what better way to inspire delicious and nutritious meals at home than cooking with your kids in the kitchen? We kicked off the month with a healthy comfort foods class for kids, which was a big success. The kids loved the healthy makeover dishes, and commented that they couldn’t believe these were “healthy” versions of their favorite dishes. In case you missed it, Chef Katie dishes up a health-ified recipe for Creamy Tomato Soup and shares a few ideas for making easy and tasty substitutions that will turn your favorite fatty foods into healthy, wholesome goodness! CHEF KATIE SAYS: In my opinion, one of the most common misconceptions kids have about the idea of “healthy food” is that it doesn’t taste good. If you ask most kids, they’d rather have cupcakes than applesauce, and who can blame them? Fortunately there are lots of tricks to lightening up unhealthy recipes without sacrificing texture and flavor. The key is to work with yummy, wholesome foods in place of empty calorie, fat-laden ingredients. We all know you can leave out the cream, or use less sugar, but have you ever thought about replacing butter with TOFU in frosting? Or using AVOCADOS to make a creamy alfredo? In our Healthy Cooking for Kids class last weekend, we put together a menu of classic comfort foods full of low-fat twists! On the menu? Cinnamon Pumpkin Cupcakes with a Vanilla Tofu Frosting, a better than Campbell’s Creamy Tomato Soup with Baked Gooey Grilled Cheese Sandwiches with Spinach and Cream Cheese Filling. The kids absolutely loved experimenting with ingredients that they never would have touched on their own, plus they got some great practice for this month’s healthy recipes contest! [...]
