Cooking Through the Calendar

Author: Kendyl Redding

Planning Unit: Powell County CES

Major Program: Making Healthy Lifestyle Choices (general)

Plan of Work: Improving Health Through Diet and Physical Activity

Outcome: Initial Outcome

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.
