If you are 9–12 years old, live in Arizona and have a healthy side dish you love, we want to hear from you.

The top five recipes will be selected based on nutrition, taste and originality.

For a recipe to be considered, please make sure that it:
– Is an original recipe for a hot or cold side dish
– Includes at least one fruit and/or vegetable
– Can be cooked within 20 minutes (not including prep time)

Five kids will be chosen as finalists and invited to present their recipes at a Phoenix Suns game on February 7. Following the event, the recipes will be posted on the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona Facebook page where the public is invited to vote for their favorite recipe. Voting opens February 8.
