A lunch favorite of students and teachers in Floyd County Schools could soon be on the menu at schools across the country.  A Lasagna with egg noodles recipe prepared in Floyd County Schools has been selected as a finalist in JTM Food Group’s Recipe for Renovation contest.  The recipe was one of ten entries from across the country selected as a finalist.  JTM is looking for the most unique, kid worthy, easy to prepare recipes in the nation-wide contest.  “This is a tremendous honor for our school nutrition staff,” said Donna Carver, school nutrition director for Floyd County Schools.  “This recipe is a favorite with students and faculty. The school nutrition employees love it not only for the taste, but for the ease of preparation."

The winner of the recipe contest will be selected by votes from the public on the JTM website at jtmfoodgroup.com.  Visitors to the site can enter their vote by clicking on the Recipe for Renovation logo.  Once on the voting site, you can vote for a recipe by clicking on the Love It button or vote against a competing recipe by clicking on the Leave It button.  The winning recipe will win a $7,000 cafeteria makeover from JTM Food Group.  Voters also have an opportunity to win one of five Accutemp steamers to be awarded to those evaluating the recipes. 

You can vote for the entry from Floyd County Schools through December 21, 2007.  The winner of the recipe contest and the $7,000 cafeteria make-over will be announced in January.
