Major Program: Family and Consumer Sciences 4-H Core Curriculum

Plan of Work: Skills for a Better Life

Outcome: Long-Term Outcome

Two senior 4-H members received third place and $6,000 each in scholarships to Sullivan University in the KDA sponsored Junior Chef Contest.  The team's Cheesy Ranch Chicken Casserole followed MyPlate guidelines, contained eleven Kentucky Proud ingredients, could be duplicated in school cafeterias and appealed to young people.  The students' recipe, culinary skills and public speaking skills were judged by chefs from Sullivan University.  In preparation for the contest the team had the opportunity to participate in two skills workshops provided by Sullivan and they enjoyed sharing their completed dish with the local women's shelter and preparing/sharing with residents from the Mayfield Housing Authority.  Through this project both members stated that their skills in preparation, planning, communication, giving back to the community, demonstrating food safety, experiencing teamwork and learning new culinary techniques increased one hundred percent since the beginning of the project.  Their recipe has been shared and duplicated throughout the households of numerous teen club members.
