Recipalooza Health Contest for Children and Families

Play Healthy Monster Chef Every Monday to Win Prizes

Make Monday Family Night

Make Monday family night The Children's Museum of Houston and Playnormous have teamed up with The Kids Cook Monday to bring you Recipalooza, a fun new contest that asks you to play healthy monster chef for a day. We are challenging children all over the country to create healthy recipes at home every Monday to start the week off right.

During the month of January, we want you to dream up tasty, healthy, kid-friendly recipe masterpieces and share them with us. Simply log on to the contest page at Playnormous.com starting Jan. 5 to enter your recipe using our list of ingredients. All participants receive a virtual chef ribbon for their Monster Profile and the ability to save and print out their recipe so they can prepare it with their family for Monday night's dinner!

Join Playnormous for Family Fun on January 24 & 30

Recipalooza at the Museum

Make Monday family night with a yummy recipe! You can also join the Playnormous team for some recipe fun at the Children's Museum of Houston. Playnormous will be at the Museum on January 24 (homeschool only) and January 30 (open to the public). To participate in Recipalooza at the Museum, find the Playnormous table and collect healthy foods in your grocery basket. Have your mom or dad fill out an online contest form at Playnormous.com to enter your recipe into the competition. All participants will walk away with a Playnormous apron and virtual participation ribbon. When you get home, print out your foodie creation and prepare it with your family for Monday night's dinner!

Recipalooza ends February 1 so enter your recipe now for your chance to win. Only two lucky monster chefs will be selected to win a coveted Revered Recipe Trophy, a gift basket of cool prizes from Playnormous, and a signed copy of Laurie Davis's new book The Family Dinner. Both winning recipes will be featured on the Playnormous website and made part of the permanent Playnormous recipe collection. So start off your week right: Make Monday family night!
