Disclosure: I am receiving compensation for my involvement in the #KidsEatWell initiative. The opinions and thoughts are 100% my own.
Last week I got to share this amazing initiative, which is working to make kid’s meal options actually healthy while dining out. It’s great to know that some restaurants are making it possible to avoid the traditional options, like salty French fries, mac ‘n cheese, and chicken nuggets.
A week ago in Chicago, the National Restaurant Association (NRA) held their annual show. Even though I wasn’t able to personally be there, I was able to follow highlights from the day on Twitter. The show featured celebrity chef appearances. Robert Irvine, famous British celebrity chef, was on hand to congratulate the 2014 Kids LiveWell recipe winners last Saturday.
and of course had lots of fun!
The Kids LiveWell Recipe Challenge recognizes the importance of nutrition for children in restaurant menus. Foods don’t have to taste like cardboard in order to be flavorful and good for you. If you did not catch my previous post, please visit HealthyDiningFinder.com to find great menu items at more than 70,000 participating restaurant locations nationwide. The site is mobile friendly. 🙂
Here’s something very cool – I was given the opportunity to share some of the recipes from this year’s recipe challenge! Courtesy 2014 Kids LiveWell Recipe Challenge . Reprinted with publisher permission.
