OAS "What's For Dinner" Contest

The Office for Adult Students is sponsoring the “What’s-for-Dinner” contest to encourage nutritious eating. The contest took place between March 16 and March 27. Students submitted recipes in one of four categories:

• Best Nutritious Snack
• Best Freezer Treasure
• Best Meal-On-The-Run
• Best Slow-Cooker/Crock Pot Meal

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.

To see recipes from previous years, click here for the 2008 results or here for the 2007 results.
