The Family and Consumer Sciences Agent and SNAP-Ed assistant began a monthly program featuring the Nutrition Education Program 2019 recipe calendar, called First Friday Feast. On the first Friday of each month, participants cook the recipe of the month as a group. The agent and program assistant also choose a lesson to go along with recipe. In the past six months, the group has covered topics such as reducing sugar-sweetened beverages, food safety, ways to be more active, reading nutrition labels, and electric pressure cookers.
Participation has steadily increased throughout the year and there have been a variety of participants attend the program so far. Many participants have brought their spouse, child, or grandchild. First Friday Feast is a great opportunity for families to cook and share a meal together.
