I. Prepare a snack/meal with sample “tastes” to share for approximately 25 people.

• A. Create a recipe card with the ingredients__/quantities__/directions__ (including preparation and cooking time) on one side.*

• B. Make a nutritional label for the reverse side of the recipe card.**

II. Short write-up (one paragraph) to include:

• At least 3 reasons you feel your food item is “healthy”

• Why you recommend this dish.

• The estimated cost per serving.

*For inspirational recipes, google something like “quick, healthy, snack recipes,” in a cookbook, or maybe your best option is to ask friends, family and family to share their favorites!

**“Recipe card examples” and sample “nutrition labels” can be found in the same manner.

This also happens to be a friendly competition! Judges from outside of A&P will be evaluating your food on the following criteria: tastiness, affordability, nutritional content, visual appeal/presentation, and ease of preparation/time needed to create.
