The White House Kids’ “State Dinner” Cookbook: Winning Recipes from the Healthy Lunchtime Challenge

For five years, the Healthy Lunchtime Challenge, part of First Lady Michelle Obama's Let's Move! initiative, invited 8 to 12-year-olds across the nation to create a healthy, affordable, original, and delicious lunch recipe. Winners representing all U.S. states, territories, and the District of Columbia were selected each year to attend a Kids' "State Dinner" at the White House hosted by Mrs. Obama and more than 270 of their winning appealing and creative recipes are compiled here and represent the "farm to table" ideal of health conscious America taken one step farther: "From farm to State Dining Room table." Introduced with a letter from Former First Lady Michelle Obama.
