Lunch and Learn

Author: Kennedy Hannah

Planning Unit: KSU Administration

Major Program: Family and Consumer Science

Plan of Work: Unrelated to a specified County Plan of Work

Outcome: Long-Term Outcome



With the growing cost of everyday foods and our relicense on fast food,  lunch and leans are unique and effective way to teach nutritional concepts and basic cooking skills in a community setting. Growing intake in fast food can cause digestive issues, calorie intake, and many health risk. These sessions educate us how to cook right, eat healthy, how many ways we can cook a particular thing and not get bored up of eating the same food but cooked in a different way.

 Once a month homemakers meet to have a lunch and learns. These monthly sessions allows us to improve cooking skills while learning how to prepare nutritious food for themselves and their families. We are able to develop essential skills and promotes creativity in techniques and organization. These sessions can improve morale and develop a better sense of teamwork. We get to learn more about each other while working together to make life a little easier for our families. Each month we go over the ingredients and cost of recipes and brainstorm ways to make them better. The sole purpose  is to develop more open lines of communication while making better nutritious decisions. 

. Our audience consist of 10-15 homemakers / older adults . We welcome children and  families as well.

 I have found many ways to incorporate different foods into my diet. Food brings many ppl together regardless of our backgrounds.
