Healthy Kids Challenge has teamed up with Del Monte and educational partners, Johnson & Wales University and the Home Baking Association to present the 9th annual Stirring Up Health recipe contest to promote healthy cooking.
The recipe contest aims to get middle school students into the kitchen. The challenge is for middle school students to develop or modify an existing recipe to make it healthier using Del Monte brand fruits, vegetables, or tomatoes as a primary ingredient. Incorporating healthy baking as part of their creation is encouraged.
