Walk On! Kids Cooking Challenge

Thank you for your interest in the 2019 Walk On! Kids Cooking Challenge. The entry period has ended. Please check back on Feb. 5 to see the top five finalists and to vote for your favorite recipe!

If you are 9–12 years old, live in Arizona and have a healthy side dish you love, we want to hear from you.

The top five recipes will be selected based on nutrition, taste and originality.

For a recipe to be considered, please make sure that it:

Is an original recipe for a hot or cold side dish
Includes at least one fruit and/or vegetable
Can be cooked within 20 minutes (not including prep time)

Five kids will be chosen as finalists and invited to present their recipes at a Phoenix Suns game on February 4. Following the event, the recipes will be posted on the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona Facebook page where the public is invited to vote for their favorite recipe. Voting opens February 5.

All finalists will receive fun prizes and the grand prize winner will receive a bike. The winner may also be invited to show their stuff on TV in a local cooking demonstration!

Recipes will be accepted January 1 through January 23.

The recipe submission time has expired.
