New Ideas in the Kitchen

Author: Tracy Cowles

Planning Unit: Butler County CES

Major Program: Accessing Nutritious Foods (general)

Plan of Work: Health, Nutrition and Development

Outcome: Initial Outcome

Often limited resource families want to “do better” but don’t know how. The Family Resource Center reached out the Butler County FCS Agent and wanted to partner in a three-part series on food preparations, eating healthy, and incorporating kids in the kitchen.

Each participant received incentives provided by the FRC. A slow cooker, electric skillet and electric pressure cookers were among the items they received. Average attendance was 35 at each section.

Oral evaluation was conducted with 90% of the group learning new ways to prepare meals, 98% learned how to use a new kitchen appliance and 100% stated by a show of hands that they received information that they can use to make their family healthier.
