The King family, residents of Destin, Florida have entered the UNCLE BEN’S - Ben’s Beginners™ Cooking Contest, a movement designed to help children learn to make healthier choices, at an early age, by getting them interested in cooking.
Parents with children who are in kindergarten through 8[SUP]th[/SUP] grade were asked to submit a video that showed the family together in the kitchen introducing a rice-based dish they prepared and discussing their experience cooking together. The contest received hundreds of entries from families throughout the U.S. In an effort to help the King family strengthen their score and give them an opportunity to be chosen as a finalist, they are asking the community to vote for the video they submitted titled Wild Rice with Mushrooms and Homemade Cream Sauce. If selected as a grand prize winner the King family will receive $15,000 cash and a $30,000 cafeteria makeover for Destin Elementary. Two members of the King family will also appear on “The Rachael Ray Show!”
From October 9 through October 27, 2013, individuals can view all the contest videos and vote for their favorite by visiting www.unclebens.com and searching for the recipe name. Individuals are encouraged to vote once per 24 hours. For more information on the Ben’s Beginners™ Cooking Contest, visit www.unclebens.com.
