Back to the Kitchen Challenge: Feb 5 - Mar 1 Back to the Kitchen Challenge: Feb 5 - Mar 1

Tune in to bWell Radio as we throw it back to the kitchen, challenging you to create chart-topping recipes you cook at home and share with our listeners. Bring back your favorite hits or search out some new tunes.

Join the 2024 Back to the Kitchen Challenge and prepare 10 new recipes between February 5 and March 1 to earn 50 bWell points for each recipe you snap a photo of and upload to mybmcwellness.com. You can earn up to 500 bWell points for completing the entire challenge.

With popular and convenient food delivery apps, it’s never been easier to order takeout, but is the convenience really worth it? Restaurant meals can contain a lot of unhealthy ingredients. But it’s more than just the meal; cooking at home offers even greater benefits.

Cooking at home gives you an opportunity to reconnect with your partner, family, or friends while sharing the kitchen. People who cook at home often have a healthier diet than those who frequently order takeout. Restaurant meals typically contain higher amounts of sodium, saturated fat, total fat, and overall calories than home-cooked meals.

It’s easier to control portion sizes and watch your calories when you cook at home.

It saves time. Ordering takeout is not always faster. Depending on where you live, what time you order, and whether or not the delivery person is good with directions, this could actually take more time than if you’d simply made a meal at home!

It saves money too! Ingredients for an entire meal often come at a lower price than a single restaurant dish. You also usually get more meals out of a recipe cooked at home, like leftovers for work the next day.

The recipe for success:

Pull out those cookbooks or go online and find recipes for your own Back to the Kitchen playlist.
Everyone who creates and shares their chart-topping recipes between February 5 and March 1 AND uploads a photo to mybmcwellness.com will earn 500 bWell points. That’s 50 bWell points for each recipe in your top 10.
Participating in this challenge and meeting your goal gets you 500 bWell points closer to the Platinum level. Platinum Recording Artists earning 8,000 bWell points by August 31, 2024, can win one of 10 groovy grand prizes.

Be sure to upload your photos to mybmcwellness.com by 11:59 p.m. CST on March 1 to earn the bWell points to climb the charts!
