Oakville Hosts 'Make Your Move Healthy Recipe Contest' for Nutrition Month

March is Nutrition Month and the City of Oakville is celebrating by hosting a 'Healthy Recipe' contest.

The 'Make Your Move Healthy Recipe' Contest is open to all residents of Oakville who are 8 yrs and older.

There are 3 contest categories:

• Children 8 - 12 years who are asked to prepare submit a 'snack' recipe
• Teens 13 -17 years are asked to submit a 'lunch' recipe
  
• Adults 18 years + are asked to submit a main course recipe
  

In each category, the top 3 recipes will be invited to a 'cook-off'. Hosted by Whole Foods Market in Oakville, the cook-off will be held on Sunday, May 2nd, 2-4pm

The first, second and third place winners in each category will win gift certificates.
The Grand prize champion will have their recipe sold in the Whole Foods Market of Oakville and all proceeds will go to the local food bank.

Put on your chef 'thinking' cap and submit your recipe to makeyourmove@oakville.ca.  Recipes can also be submitted online at the Make Your Move
website.
The contest closes on Wednesday, March 31st at 11:59 pm

Sponsors for the contest include Whole Foods Market of Oakville, Paradiso Restaurant, Julia's Ristorante and Ritorno's Restaurant.

What's the healthiest recipe you have in your recipe box? I think my Dad's baked beans just might be the healthiest one I have in mine.

Make it a family affair and enter each category. Children will love dreaming up a healthy snack or lunch recipe and who knows, you just may have a Master Chef on your hands!
Oakville's  'Make Your Move Healthy Recipe' Contest is the perfect way to celebrate Nutrition Month.
