According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 36.6% of adults over 18 are obese and 31.9% have an overweight classification. In addition, 42.7% of adults reported consuming fruit less than one time daily and 17% of adults reported consuming vegetables less than one time daily.  In 2018 the Supplemental Nutrition Education Program Assistant Senior started a series called Cooking through the Calendar. Cooking Through the Calendar is a monthly cooking program that focused on the Nutrition Education Program calendar produced every year with a healthy and affordable recipe for each month. Since the outbreak of Covid-19, Cooking through the Calendar has had to take on a new image. This pandemic has put an end to participants being able to attend and sample the recipes. So the Magoffin County Extension Service Supplemental Nutrient Education Program Assistant Senior decide to take the series virtual.  

As a result, Cooking Through the Calendar is still very popular program with Facebook views of over one thousand. After watching the demonstration of the monthly healthy and affordable recipes from the calendar Several participants have reported making the recipes at home. I received comments and messages from the viewers stating: "I love this program; I always learn so much!" "I can't believe how tasty and simple that recipe is. I am going to the grocery to get ingredients to make this!" So once again this 2020 Covid19 pandemic may have changed our way of doing programming, but we are still able to keep our clients Healthy at Home.
