Major Program: Accessing Nutritious Foods (general)
Outcome: Initial Outcome
Planning meals is one of the best ways to save money and eat healthy meals. The Clinton County Nutrition Education Program Assistant partnered with Adanta Behavioral Services to offer a “Let’s Cook Together” program. This program consisted of four adult participants and at times their family members. Participants were taught basic nutrition and resource management using the Healthy Choices for Everybody curriculum. Participants engaged in hands on activities to encourage meal planning and increased knowledge of tips and techniques to prepare more meals at home.
As a result of the program, 50% of the participants cooked more meals at home and 75% make grocery list more often while checking their cupboards before heading to the store. By utilizing all of the skills learned, the participants were able to plan and prepare healthy nutritious meals for their families at home.
