my little chef

Brenna, age 10, 4th grade

Forgot to mention what happened:
Brenna entered this contest to create a healthy salad. She chose to do a fruit salad. I suggested some ideas but she came up with it on her own: strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, kiwi, pineapple and grapes mixed with vanilla yogurt and topped with granola. Her entry was a district finalist. She had to go to the high school and prepare her dish in front of the judges then make up little test cups.
She won "most kid friendly". She said everyone got a medal, though (I think there were as many categories of winners and number of kids participating). She also got to pick a prize. She got a cookbook with kid friendly recipes that looks like it will be fun for the kids.
I'm so proud of her.
