With the other 5% saying they can’t eat the food items due to health reason or just don’t like an item in the recipe. Everyone is eager each week to see what the Nutrition Education Program Supplemental Nutrition Assistant has for them to sample. There are several participants that attend weekly showing interest in what new recipe is available and have stated they made one of the earlier samples at home.
