Hello everyone, we’ve got a guest blogger today. Finwe, one of my music students and a budding chef, got to have lunch at the White House this summer. Her mother Kristina shares their adventure below. Read on!
The Healthy Lunchtime Challenge was a contest made possible by a collaboration between Epicurious, the Department of Education, the Department of Agriculture (where the MyPlate eating guidelines originated), and the office of The First Lady. Children between the ages of 8 and 12 were invited to create a recipe with the help of an adult and submit it for the chance to win a trip to the White House. My daughter (Finwe Wiedenhoeft, 4th grade) and I retooled one of her favorite recipes, spicy Cajun chickpea burgers, into something she thought would be more widely appreciated: barbecue cheddar chickpea burgers. We submitted her entry, and left for our annual early-summer vacation.
We have a special treat for you this week– guest blogger Rick Terrien, the Iowa County Area Economic Development Director:
