Make Your Own Kit – GIVEAWAY

We are thrilled to be able to offer a fun giveaway just in time for the holidays from our friends at Glee Gum!

I had the chance to review one of their products a while back (I look so little in the video!) and loved everything about the kit. It was easy to use, fun and the end product tasted great. Here is a link to that post if you want to see a Make Your Own Gummies Kit in action!

Glee Gum makes these Candy Making Kits that are so much fun. There is the Chewing Gum Kit, the Chocolate Kit and the Gummies Kit – so there is something for every candy lover.

The great thing about all of these kits is that the products are made from all natural ingredients and they are easy to make! Kids love them!

Right now, they are running a great special too with a Candy Kit Combo at a great price of $29.30 for all three kits. That is a 30% savings! You can purchase a combo kit here.

So as a kid who cooks – I can say that this is a gift that your little chefs will LOVE!

Contest – Let’s Move Towards Healthier School Meals

A great contest dedicated to creating healthy school lunch recipes that kids will love to eat!

Let’s Move is a campaign created by First Lady Michelle Obama. Her goal is simple, to challenge the epidemic of childhood obesity through a comprehensive approach that will supply families and communities with the tools needed to get kids to be more active and eat healthy.

In an effort to help spread the word, the Let’s Move team and the USDA have come together to create a Contest to encourage schools to come together to create healthy school meals.

Let’s Move!, in association with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), is challenging school nutrition professionals, chefs, students, parents and interested community members to create tasty, healthy, exciting new recipes for inclusion on school lunch menus across the country.

Participants will form teams, develop, document, and prepare at least one healthy recipe in one of three categories (Whole Grains, Dark Green and Orange vegetables, or Dry Beans and Peas). Their creations will be served in the school’s cafeteria, and rated by students. Fifteen semi-finalist teams will have their recipe evaluated by our judging panel during events held at their school, and the top three teams will compete in a national cook-off to determine the grand prize winner! Semi-finalists’ recipes will also be posted for online voting by the public to determine a Popular Choice Winner. Winning teams will be invited to prepare their nutrition-packed meals alongside White House chefs.

Contest offers $12,000 in prizes and has a submission deadline of December 30, 2010.

Visit Recipes For Kids Challenge for contest rules and details.
