Special Thanks to the "What's-for-Dinner" Contest Sponsors
The Office for Adult Students sponsored the “What’s-for-Dinner” contest to encourage nutritious eating. Students competed to see who had the best recipe for a quick and easy meal or snack that was both tasty and healthy. Most adult students lead very busy lives - many have families, many have full time jobs. Not surprisingly, adult students often resort to fast food for their meals which can be a less than healthy approach to nutrition. We hope this contest provided ideas for healthy alternatives.
Below are links to the wonderful recipes submitted by adult students who competed in the "What's-for-Dinner" Contest.
