Our friends at Better Together have just announced the launch of their annual Hands-on Cook-off contest with an important message: to inspire kids and teens to cook together and reap the lifelong benefits of sharing family meals. As a dietitian and Mom, I am a huge believer in the importance of sharing family meals. Research shows that kids who participate in family meals have better nutrition, less picky eating behaviour, and better physical and emotional development. Those are a lot of reasons to make eating together a priority.
Here’s how to enter:
Between April 16 – May 16th, any BC resident can enter the Hands–on Cook–off contest. Simply grab a friend or relative and create a home video cooking show that’s three minutes long or less. Videos must include two or more people preparing a recipe together… and having fun! Full contest details, including sample videos and where to upload, can be found on the contest site: http://bettertogetherbc.ca/contest
Prizes:
Multiple cash prizes up to $1000 will be awarded in both categories to individuals and schools. Total prizes up for grabs are valued at over $4000. Full prize details can be found here: http://www.bettertogetherbc.ca/contest/prizes-awards1
