Did you know that families who eat together are healthier and happier? Families in the Kitchen: Cook Together, Eat Together is designed to help families enjoy more home-cooked, nutritious meals. This program was recently held at the Bourbon County Extension Office. The Nutrition Education Program Assistant led the program. A total of 7 lessons were conducted, with 4 families (10 individuals, including youth) completing the program. The topics included: different food preparation skills, planning meals, grocery shopping on a budget, and food safety.
Of those who completed the program 100% improved in one or more diet quality indicators. 75% showed improvement in one or more food resource management practices and food safety practices. One participant commented “I cannot believe that my kids are eating vegetables. Before this class, they would not even try a vegetable at home.”
