As you have figured out Brian loves to be in the kitchen. I am in the kitchen when Brian isn’t around … or I can make a sweet treat. The kids though just being in the kitchen so we were excited to see the Uncle Ben’s Rice “Ben’s Beginners Contest”. Grace and Sophie both wanted to do videos. They collaborated with Brian to make recipes that are favorite dishes.
Part of the prize is $30,000 for the winner’s cafeteria. This would be a wonderful gift for their cafeteria. Grace’s suggestion is new tables because “some of the seats spin around”. That is a pretty good need in the school and she would know seeing this her third year there!
The best part of this contest is that you can vote for BOTH girls each day! You can vote every 24 hours (best we can tell it goes by the clock not the day). So please vote daily … the winner isn’t chosen by the votes but it is 20% of the score the judges are using.

I enjoyed both girls, Sophie and Grace’s videos and I voted for both! What a great contest to help kids who want to cook!
Sharon – we have explained the girls that it is a contest and they may not win. At the same time, we love to show our support for kids being in the kitchen. We know we eat healthier when we cook so if the kids are cooking that is even better for our family! Thanks for checking out their videos and we hope you have a second to vote for them each day!
I wish my kids could cook as good as yours. Good luck to you! I voted.
Tammy – take them in the kitchen with you! Even if it is just stirring a pot of something or learning how to measure out ingredients, they are learning and it will help them when they are on their own for sure!
Thanks for voting and we hope you have a second to vote again!

I like these. I hope to get my daughter helping in the kitchen by making it fun for her. Neither my wife or I are very good cooks and don’t cook often or well enough and I’m hoping by introducing my daughter to it more at an early age that she wont end up like us lol.
