The Recipe Box: A new tool to help you Eat Smart

The Recipe Box is a place where you can share healthy recipes with your co-workers and to search for healthy recipes submitted by other King County employees. The Eat Smart pages of the Health Matters website have recently been redesigned. The update includes a variety of new resources including a tool called the Recipe Box.

Not sure if your recipe is “healthy”? Simply enter the ingredients and the number of servings the recipe makes into an online recipe analyzer which will provide a nutrition breakdown and a letter grade. If your recipe receives a grade of "A" or "B" submit the recipe to the Health Matters team and we will post it!

The 2008 “Most Improved” Live Well Challenge team Magnificent Movers shared recipes weekly during the event.
