Healthy Lunchbox Ideas (HLI) – Broccoli – Event Announcement

Posted By Vardhini On June 1, 2011 @ 8:00 pm In Events - Announcements and Roundups | 36 Comments

Yes my dear friends, you’ll read it right. I am hosting two very different events this month and pretty excited about them both. Let me explain this event. Healthy Lunchbox Ideas is a wonderful event started by Kalyani (Mom Chef) and I am guest hosting the same this month. As the name suggests, this event is all about healthy food and  focuses on kids’ snacks or lunchbox items or after-school light bites. Since we are talking about healthy food, no deep fried entries please. Although grilled/tossed/stir fry items are welcome.

The theme for this month is “Broccoli” and we all know that broccoli is a vegetable packed with nutrients and is also the vegetable on the hated-list of kids. So let’s take this opportunity and try out healthy dishes featuring broccoli which pleases the palette of kids.

From Wiki:
Broccoli is high in vitamin C, as well as dietary fiber; it also contains multiple nutrients with potent anti-cancer properties. A single serving provides more than 30 mg of Vitamin C and a half-cup provides 52 mg of Vitamin C. A high intake of broccoli has been found to reduce the risk of aggressive prostrate cancer. Broccoli consumption has also been shown to be beneficial in the prevention of heart disease.

This event runs from 1st – 30th June 2011 and a brief note on how the entries should be sent is as follows.

1. Cook and blog about a vegetarian dish for kids featuring “Broccoli”. Entries can focus on kids’ snacks or lunchbox items or after-school light bites. We are talking about healthy food, so no deep fried entries please. Although grilled/tossed/stir fry items are welcome.
2. Also, no archived entries since the challenge is to come up with fresh lunchbox ideas. Now do send in your archived posts too !!
3. Vegetarian entries only. (Eggs can be used in baking)
4. Use of the logo and linking back to this event announcement and to Kalyani’s original announcement is mandatory.
