The Magnify Your Life Healthy Community Cook-off

Posted on May 12, 2011 in Bulletin | 0 comments

Magnify Your Life and Magna Healthy Communities are excited to host a community cook-off on June 18.  Magna residents are encouraged to participate by cooking a healthy dish and submitting the recipe for it.  At the event, professional chefs from the community will evaluate the entries to determine the best recipe, and the winner will go home with $150 grand prize!

In an effort to promote healthy eating, the judges will base their decisions on the nutritional value, taste, and cost of the recipes.  Magnify Your Life and Magna Healthy Communities hope this event will allow the community to swap healthy recipes, learn new ideas, and discover that healthy foods can be delicious and inexpensive.
