Kids’ Fruits & Veggies Recipe Contest Cookbook 2007-2008 ABout The Contest The 2007-2008 school year marks the 6th successful year of the Kids’ Fruits & Veggies Recipe Contest. The contest is hosted by the Utah Depart- ment of Health and our Utah Fruits & Veggies–More Matters® Association partners. Our cookbook has a new name this year, with 5 A Day replaced by Fruits & Veggies–More Matters®. We received 77 entries this year! Winners were selected in each of the seven categories: Breakfast Item, Snack, Salad, Smoothie, Creative, Des- sert, and Main Dish. Recipes were judged by members of the Fruits & Veggies–More Matters Association who put their taste buds to the test scoring recipes for ease of preparation, creativity, and taste! All recipes were judged for health benefi t by dietetic interns from Brigham Young University. Winning recipes had to be healthy, tasty, contain no more than 12 readily available ingredients, and be easy to prepare in about 20 minutes. Our winners receive some great prizes and a certifi cate presented to them at school. They also get the chance to be on TV and on the Web. The idea behind the contest is that kids will discover the fun of cooking with fruits and vegetables early on. You will fi nd all of the 2007-2008 entries in this cookbook. We hope you enjoy! *Special thanks to all of our judges, partici- pants and their parents, and contest organiz- ers, including the Utah Fruits & Veggies–More Kate with Casey Scott, making Matters Association. her Creamy Dreamy Fruit Cup. i Table of Contents Breakfast Items Main Dishes Strawberry & Banana SpaghettiS Squash Super ................ 29 Breakfast Sandwich ........................ 1 AAnea’s Amazing Tacos .................. 30 Rebekah’s Whole Wheat Pancakes Veggie Butter-squash .................... 31 Topped with Yogurt and Lexy’s Creamy Tomato Soup ......... 32 Strawberries ................................... 2 Oat n’ Berry Waffl es ....................... 3 Smoothies Chadwin’s Island ............................ 4 Sierra’sS Smoothie ..........................33 Fruity Muffi n .................................. 5 FFruit Smoothie .............................. 34 The Sweetheart Smoothie ............ 35 Salads Shaelee’s Smothie Extreme ........... 36 Super Nova .................................... 6 Grace’s Super Fruit Smoothie ........37 The Fuzzy Caterpillar Salad ............. 7 Hodge Podge Smoothies .............. 38 Colorful Salad ................................ 8 Banana Delight ............................. 39 Sensational Strawberry Salad ..........9 Noah’s Fruity Smoothie .................40 Pasta Salad ...................................10 Strawberry Delight ....................... 41 Mary Kathryn’s Christmas Salad ....11 Banana Berry Smoothie ................ 42 Fruit Salad .................................... 12 Colorful Smoothie ........................ 43 Joseph’s Famous Rainbow Smoothie ....................... 44 Popping Rice Salad ....................... 13 Bryce’s Smoothie .......................... 45 Alylah’s Salad ............................... 14 Austin’s Smoothie ......................... 46 The Best Beets ..............................15 Hunter’s Smoothie ........................47 Puddinged Fruit ............................16 Brennon’s Fruity Smoothie ............ 48 Berry Smoothie ............................. 49 Snacks Banana and Blueberry Vegetable Pinwheels ..................... 17 Soothing Smoothie ....................... 50 Salsa ............................................ 18 Cinaberry Smoothie ...................... 51 Grazing Sheep .............................. 19 Delight Surprise Smoothie ............ 52 The Monkey with Black Teeth ....... 20 Animal Cracker Smoothie .............53 The Apple, Peanut Butter, Chris’ Fruity Creation .................... 54 Honey Snack ................................ 21 Orange/Pineapple Smoothie ......... 55 Banaberry Delight ......................... 22 Super Fruit Smoothie ....................56 Alison’s Banana Sandwich ............ 23 Splendid Yogurt Smoothie ............57 The Planet .................................... 24 Apple Smoothie ........................... 58 Ants On A Boat ............................ 25 The Healthy Veggie Garden .......... 26 Popcorn Fruit Ball ......................... 27 Banana Cookies ........................... 28 Continued on the next page... ii Table of Contents Desserts Creamy Dreamy Fruit Cup ............ 59 Pumpkin Cookies ......................... 60 Keven’s Dessert ............................ 61 Banana Puffs ................................ 62 Fruity Tuity Goodie Cake .............. 63 Creamy Fruit ................................ 64 Monkey Rolls ................................ 65 Miriam’s Mini Pies ......................... 66 The Butterfl y in its Nest ................ 67 Fruity Float ................................... 68 Creative Items Fruit Frog ..................................... 69 My Beach ..................................... 70 Mouse Recipe ............................... 71 Fruit and Veggie Delux ................. 72 Battle Ship, BLAST! ....................... 73 Emily’s Edible Ladybug ..................74 Carrot House ................................ 75 Creative Recipe ............................ 76 Yummy Sweet Potatoes With Apples ................................. 77 iii Breakfast Items 1st Place Breakfast Strawberry & Banana Breakfast Sandwich By: Sabrina Greenwood, 3rd Grade, Country View Elementary Ingredients English muffi n 1 Strawberry Yogurt Bananas Strawberries Put an English muffi n on a plate.
