(CNSNews.com) - The White House announced on Wednesday that judges have picked 54 children whose healthy lunchtime recipes have earned them a trip to Washington, D.C., to dine with First Lady Michelle Obama next month.
Beef and pork producers may not be pleased to learn that of all the recipes chosen from every U.S. state and territory, only a handful have meat as an ingredient if their title is any indication Chi-Irish Sheppards Pie, Mexican Haystack and Mediterranean Kabob.
Instead, vegetables, fish and poultry dominate the list.
Winning recipes include Veggie Spaghetti, Over the Rainbow Veggie Pancakes, Mo-Rockin' Meatless Monday Special, What! You Don't Like Tofu? Chicken and Grape Salad Lettuce Wraps, and fish tacos.
On July 18, Mrs. Obama will host a kids state dinner at the White House where some of the winning recipes will be served, and the children and families joining them will also get a tour of the White House garden.
