Planning Unit: Family and Consumer Sciences

Major Program: Cook Wild Kentucky

Outcome: Long-Term Outcome

The Cook Wild Kentucky project started in 2016 for use by Kentucky Cooperative Extension Agents and Assistants. This joint project with the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources, Hunters for the Hungry, the Kentucky Department of Agriculture, UK Meat Sciences, Feeding Kentucky, and the Kentucky Nutrition Education Program has grown over the years. In the Fall of 2022, a Cook Wild Kentucky Recipe Calendar was published. This 16-month calendar (September 2022-December 2023) features a monthly recipe, along with nutrition and cooking tips, and field notes from the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife. The calendars were made available in all 120 Kentucky counties. Following distribution of the calendar, Oven Baked Frog Legs (the cover featured recipe) became a top landing page on PlanEatMove.com and has remained a top pageview, with as many as 1,306 pageviews in a day. The calendar has expanded our reach to new audiences and introduced them to the many resource available to low-resource Kentuckians through NEP and the PlanEatMove.com website.
