Team Challenge!
As you know we are going to have a windup for our BL Challengers. Rather than just meet and hand out prizes on the 12th, we thought it would be great to enlist your teams in a healthy menu potluck. Here in lies your challenge.
Each team member will revamp a recipe that they have been eating and or making in the BBL days. Select your dish. Any dish you fancy. Make it one you really like and from what you have learned about healthy nutrition these past weeks, find a way to tweak it so that it is now a healthier rendition.
Team captains will be responsible for ensuring that all macronutrients are covered. Protein, Fats, Carbohydrates and Water. Team mates will send their selections to their team captains. If a dish has already been claimed, team captains will suggest another option to balance out your fare.
Team mates, the earlier you get your requests in to your captain, the more likely you will get to keep your original selection. So get on it early!
Black Team Captain: Cathy Ogden
White Team Captain: Cheryl Gilbert
Help your captains do as little as possible: be creative, think outside the box. Choose any menu item: appetizers, main dishes, dessert and any meal of the day! This is a cook off and an exercise in mindful nutrition.
You will bring your dish to our Rap Up Awards December 12th along with an index card with your old recipe on one side and revisions on the other. Test trial your recipe on your families till you pefect it!
A few tips: healthy ingredients, caloric density, nutritional density, satiation factor along with fullness factor. Think about portion size and fibre and sodium.
Let the preparation begin! GO TEAMS GO!
Sounds great! I love this idea. I make healthy substitutions all the time when I make muffins and loaves etc. I always substitute whole wheat or another healthier grain when I make a recipe. I have also been making already very healthy recipes from ALIVE magazine lately. This should be a fun and tasty challenge!
