2014 D6 FOOD SHOW TABLE OF CONTENTS A - RULES AND COUNTY AGENT ASSIGNMENTS B - FOOD SHOW ENTRY MATERIALS C - QUESTIONS AND EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS D - FOOD CHALLENGE SECTION A: RULES & COUNTY AGENT ASSIGNMENTS The theme for the 2014 Food Show is “BUDGET WISE RECIPES.” Recipes submitted should reflect this year’s theme. The four State Food Show food categories align with MyPlate: protein, fruits and vegetables, grains and dairy. OBJECTIVES Practice and know recommended food preparation skills including food safety. Understand connection of recipe to food category, while also learning about how to make such a recipe more economical. Learn the nutrients in your dish and food category and the health benefits they provide to your body. RECIPE SELECTION Four entry categories allow for presentation of a variety of foods in the Food Show. The categories also provide an opportunity for contestants to exhibit a variety of food presentation principles. Many recipes can be entered in more than one category. Participants should consult with the website http://www.choosemyplate.gov/ when selecting a recipe category. All four food categories may use ovens during food preparation. However, oven time is limited to 75 minutes in all categories. • Protein - All foods made from meat, poultry, seafood, beans and peas, eggs, processed soy products, nuts, and seeds are considered part of the Protein Foods Group. Beans and peas are also part of the Vegetable Group. EX: Dishes that contain meat or meat alternative such as eggs, dry beans, peas or peanut butter. • Fruit and Vegetable - Any fruit or 100% fruit juice counts as part of the Fruit Group. Fruits may be fresh, canned, frozen, or dried, and may be whole, cut-up, or pureed. Any vegetable or 100% vegetable juice counts as a member of the Vegetable Group. Vegetables may be raw or cooked; fresh, frozen, canned, or dried/dehydrated; and may be whole, cut-up, or mashed. Vegetables are organized into 5 subgroups, based on their nutrient content. EX: Dishes that accompany a main dish (salads, relish trays, cooked fruits and vegetables) • Grains - Any food made from wheat, rice, oats, cornmeal, barley or another cereal grain is a grain product. Bread, pasta, oatmeal, breakfast cereals, tortillas, and grits are examples of grain products. Grains are divided into 2 subgroups, Whole Grains and Refined Grains. Whole grains contain the entire grain kernel ― the bran, germ, and endosperm. EX: Quick, yeast, bread mixes, rice, pasta • Dairy - All fluid milk products and many foods made from milk are considered part of this food group. Most Dairy Group choices should be fat-free or low-fat. Foods made from milk that retain their calcium content are part of the group. Foods made from milk that have little to no calcium, such as cream cheese, cream, and butter, are not. Calcium-fortified soymilk (soy beverage) is also part of the Dairy Group. EX: Dishes selected must contain a minimum of a half serving of dairy (macaroni and cheese, drinks, custards, cheese logs, etc.) Ingredients *When choosing a recipe, please keep in mind what ingredients will be available in College Station in June. *No alcohol or alcohol-containing ingredients can be used. It is strongly urged that 4-H’ers choose recipes that are relatively simple (i.e. less than 7 ingredients, 1 dish meals, etc.) Sometimes a decision needs to be made concerning into which category a specific recipe/dish should be entered. It is suggested that the decision reside with the county Extension agent, 4-H’er and leader. Many recipes can be entered in more than one category. Examples are salad bread bowl, broccoli cheese casserole, vegetable soup, and macaroni and cheese. Participants may have to explain their recipe category if asked by a judge. Participants should consult with their county Extension agent or 4-H Leader when selecting recipe category.

Contestants planning to use microwaves for warming a dish must bring: 1. Pot Holders - NONE WILL BE FURNISHED. 2. Dish that is microwave-safe. An agent will assist contestants in the use of the microwave ovens. Exhibiting and Judging The contestant will exhibit a serving dish containing the amount of the recipe that is appropriate.

Function of Ingredients Use Handbook of Food Preparation; should be in your office. Little yellow book. If you don’t have it call Abigail and she will copy and fax necessary pages to you. Judges will use Calorie Needs Sheet and Food Intake Sheets to determine if youth are answering correctly. Here is a sample answer: (answering is a 9 year old boy who is very active.) I am 9 years old and am very active. Therefore, I should be eating a 2000 calorie diet every day. Based on that diet, I should be eating 6 ounces of Grains every day. An Example of 1 ounce of grain is 1 cup of rice or 1 slice of bread. I should be eating 2 ½ cups of vegetables every day. A example is 1 cup of cooked broccoli. I should be eating 2 cups of fruit every day. A example of 1 cup of fruit is 1 small apple. I should also eat 3 cups of milk every day. A example of is 1 8 ounce glass of milk. I should be eating 5 ½ ounces of Beans & Meat every day. ½ cup of pinto beans would be equal to 2 ounces of Beans and Meats. My daily allowance for oils is 6 teaspoons. Oils are eaten through other foods such as avocados or nuts. I also have 265 extra calories to eat foods that are higher in fat or sugar. The new food guide also includes physical activity. I should be getting at least 30 minutes of physical activity every day. 4.
