We are very excited at the Guylay household! I am very proud of both of my kids, Elena (11) and Alexander (9). Both of them had the great honor of having their recipes chosen as finalists (only 3 per state) in the Healthy Lunchtime Challenge through Let’s Move! and Epicurious.
We heard the final news yesterday, that the single winner from our state is Fiesta Casserole (recipe link below). Alexander is very proud of his sister, and we have all decided to travel to DC as a family in August.
A quote from Epicurious.com, The First Lady’s Office, and The U.S. Department of Education: “We were impressed with your creativity, and we hope you feel proud to have made it to the finals of such a tough competition.”
- Here is the announcement in the Epicurious blog: http://www.epicurious.com/articlesguides/blogs/editor/2012/07/announcing-the-winners-of-the-healthy-lunchtime-challenge.html.
What is so exciting about the Healthy Kids Lunchtime Challenge is that now we have 53 new recipes that we can begin to experiment with at home. And you can too!
