ANNAPOLIS, MD (September 30, 2011) – On MONDAY, First Lady Katie O’Malley will join Dr. Judith Palfrey, head of the “Let’s Move” Campaign and Sally Sampson, founder and president of ChopChop Magazine to officially launch ChopChop Maryland, a new program to promote fun and healthy eating for Maryland families.

Every month for the next year, a new healthy and easy recipe will be featured using local Maryland ingredients. The recipes will be featured online, at local non-profits and health organizations around the State. Marylanders can also text to receive recipes and other information about the program.

At the event, families and children will prepare the first featured recipe using ingredients from local farmers and the Government House garden during a cooking session led by Sally Sampson.
