                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 12, 2016

  Mrs. BUSTOS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Maggie Smith, 
the Illinois Champion of First Lady Michelle Obama's Healthy Lunchtime 
Challenge. The First Lady invited children from across the nation to 
submit their original ideas for healthy, affordable recipes, and 
selected one winner from every state to visit the White House for the 
Kid's State Dinner.
  Maggie, an 11 year old from Peoria, Illinois, became interested in 
cooking when she was just 9 years old. Since then, she's been cooking 
her family dinner once a week, inspired by her parent's emphasis on the 
need for healthy eating. After spending a lot of time crafting and 
perfecting her dish, Maggie's winning recipe is ``West Wing Chicken 
with Secret Service Noodles.'' The dish features breaded chicken with 
homemade marinara sauce, served with zucchini and squash noodles.
  I am so proud of Maggie for her hard work and dedication to promoting 
healthy eating, and I wish her success in her future culinary 
endeavors.
