Success StoryCooking Through the Calendar



Cooking Through the Calendar

Author: Katie Wallace

Planning Unit: Elliott County CES

Major Program: Accessing Nutritious Foods (general)

Plan of Work: Improving Nutrition

Outcome: Long-Term Outcome

In 2019 Cooking through the Calendar began as a monthly cooking program that focused on the NEP/FCS calendar and its feature recipe of the month. Participants would gather at the Elliott County Extension Office and participate in the cooking demonstration, receive cooking reinforcement items, and have the opportunity to sample that months recipe. Beginning in 2020 4-H Youth Development Extension Agent, Katie Wallace, decided to take this program a step further. During the January session, Katie focused on the recipe and having participants set a health and wellness SMART goal for 2020. Each participant set a specific goal and action steps to achieve that goal during 2020. Despite the monthly program being cut short due to COVID-19, many participants have reported back that they are still working to achieve the goal they set in January and have noticed a difference in their health during this time as well.
