Elliott County FCS has promoted Plate It Up, Kentucky Proud since its inception. This year we are taking it to a higher level by challenging local citizens to use the recipes. To combat the obesity epidemic in Elliott County the Extension Family and Consumer Sciences Council and the Partnership for a Healthy Elliott County designed a program called Forever Fit Good Habits for a lifetime. 22 participants enrolled in the program that is point based with the competition against themselves. Points can be earned by cooking Plate it up recipes, posting pictures of the completed dishes on the program Facebook page, attending educational programs that emphasize demonstrations of Plate it Up recipes, and purchasing produce from the Farmers' Market or growing a garden. One component of the program, a Plate it Up Picnic encouraged all participants to bring at least one plate it up food to share with others. To date 37 plae it up recipes have been used in Forever Fit. Most recipes have received good reviews.
