Michelle Obama has bested Ann Romney in Family Circle magazine's latest "First Lady Cookie Contest." It's been held for 20 years, since Hillary Rodham Clinton tweaked cookie bakers everywhere with a derisive comment to her own critics that she "could have stayed home and baked cookies" rather than pursue her career." And while it's meant as good, tasty fun, it does have its critics, who wonder if a potential First Gentlemen would be asked to prove himself by baking cookies. Audie Cornish and Melissa Block have more.

White House Dinner Rewards Kids Who Eat (And Cook) Their Veggies

First Lady Michelle Obama chats with Illana Gonzales-Evans from Washington at the first Kids State Dinner.

First Lady Michelle Obama chats with Illana Gonzales-Evans from Washington at the first Kids State Dinner.

No one said it would be easy to sell kids on quinoa and kale, but an invitation to the White House's first Kids State Dinner today, complete with fresh fruit topiaries and balloon animals, turned out to be just the ticket for some.

The dinner - really, a luncheon was the brainchild of Mrs. Obama and her partners in the "Let's Move" initiative to get kids to fight the fat by cooking and eating foods that meet U.S. Department of Agriculture guidelines. "We're so proud of you," Obama told the 54 kids and parents whose recipes were chosen in a healthy recipe contest one from each state and territory.

Not to be outshined, POTUS himself made an appearance, praising the First Lady and waxing a bit nostalgic about his pre-White House efforts to cook toast, omelets and chili. Then he warned guests not to feed Bo - the family dog is apparently on a diet.

North Carolina's Marshall Reid, 12, who got to introduce the First Lady, proudly announced that he loves quinoa. He also admitted he couldn't spell it, further endearing himself to the families eager to dig in to goodies created by some of the guests. The menu started with kale chips, a gorgeous corn, bean and quinoa salad and ended with fruit smoothies. Click here to get the cookbook created from all the winners' recipes.

We'll admit, we're a little partial to the way Rhode Islander Caroline Cowart's recipe for Broccoli and Cheese Egg White Omelet sounds, but that might be because we went to grade school with her uncle. (We definitely weren't eating like that back then!)

D.C. Celebrity Chef Jose Andres, one of the recipe judges, said he was "getting ideas to add to my own restaurants." So maybe we should stay tuned for the molecular gastronomy version of zucchini fries?
