In Fleming County the SNAP-Ed assistant and the Family and Consumer Sciences agent held a ten month class called, “Being Well by Design.” The class focused on “Building a Healthy Lifestyle for Yourself and Enhancing Your Happiness.”The meetings where held the same day of the week each month at one of the local churches in the county. The attendance ranged from 4 to 8 people monthly. After the FCS agent did the lesson she had planned the SNAP assistant went over a lesson taken from the “Healthy Choices for Every Body” curriculum. Eating Better on a Budget was one of the most fun classes. With five people present for the class and after going over the educational materials the participants each made an omelet. One lady said she had never made one before and was amazed had how easy, inexpensive and delicious they were.That evening she prepared omelets for herself and her granddaughter for their dinner and since that time they have experimented with the making of omelets by adding new and different ingredients to them.She expressed it as, “not only do we enjoy the omelets but the time we spend together is priceless.”
