Kids’ Fruits & Veggies Recipe Contest
Cookbook
2007-2008
i
ABout The ContestThe 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 MattersAssociation 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 Matters Association.

The Butterfl y in its Nest
By: Chloe Caussat, 2nd Grade, Canyon Crest Elementary
Ingredients
Pancakes:2 cups of fl our (we prefer the whole wheat one as it’s healthier)1 ½ cup of milk2 Tbsp of melted butter2 ½ tsp of baking powder½ tsp of salt2 Tbsp of orange or lemon zest1 egg
1 package of Pepperidge Farm Puff pastry shells (thawed)3 bananas1 kiwiSome blueberries, strawberries, raspberries…depending on the season1 can of light whipped cream (optional)
Prepare the pancakes sifting together fl our, baking powder and salt. In a separate bow, combine egg and milk. Add this to the fl our mixture stirring until smooth. Finally add the orange or lemon zest and the melted butter. Cook on a greased griddle on both sides. Cut 6 pancakes into 1 inch-diameter circles, than cut them in 2. These 12 half circles will be the butterfl y wings.
Cook the shells for about 20 minutes in the oven pre-heated at 360 (until they’re puffed and slightly golden) and let them cool down.
In each nest, put a half banana, the thinnerextremity being outside the nest and fi guring the butterfl y’s head. Using a toothpick, pierce the banana from side to side and attach a piece of pancake on each side of the banana. The butterfl y now has wings! Use some kiwi slices to decorate the wings, make the mouth, the antlers and the eyes. We had some melted chocolate when we made the one on the picture, so we just used two drops of it for the eyes…Fill the rest of the nest with the berries and decorate with some touches of whipped cream. Sprinkle the butterfl y’s body with some cinnamon and that’s it!!
