The 2009 Dallas Dietetic Association Fight Against Childhood Obesity
>> Click here for Silent Auction Information

May 1, 2009

The Dallas Dietetic Association (DDA) is in production of our 5th annual event to heighten community awareness about childhood obesity. This year we are issuing a healthy snack recipe challenge to children of the Dallas Area including several area non-profit organizations for free nutrition education, delivered by registered dietitians, before they submit their recipes. Recipes submitted will be judged by a panel of chefs and dietitians. The winners will be invited to an award dinner, held on May 1st, at Dallas’ Le Cordon Bleu, Institute of Culinary Arts.

Components:

I. Education

During the latter part of March and early April the kids in each participating group will receive three 1-hour nutrition education classes, taught by a registered dietitian. This education will take place at varying locations throughout the DFW metroplex, including their own non-profit organizations. Other locations can be identified and agreed upon. Days and times will be submitted to DDA so that we can schedule a dietitian. Three classes must be delivered to each group. There can be more than 1 class per week at any given location.

II. Recipe submission

During the last class every child in each group will be invited to submit a healthy snack recipe. They can:
a) give their recipes to the instructor at that time or
b) their recipe can be faxed to 214-358-4925 at a later time but no later than April 20th.

III. Recipe judging

Recipes submitted will be judged in the following categories:

-Best Overall Snack
-Best Salty Snack
-Best Sweet Snack
-Best Fruit Snack
-Best Vegetable Snack

IV. Proceeds

Should there be any proceeds from the sponsorship of this event, that amount will be awarded to the agency from which the “Best Overall Snack Recipe” is selected. In order to receive any proceeds from this event, the agency must agree to the terms set forth by the Dallas Dietetic Association.
