Outcome: Initial Outcome

In an effort to safely engage clientele in an exciting new way, the Green County Recipe Club was started. The Recipe Club is a way to promote the increase of fruits and vegetables in the diets of those participating. By joining the Recipe Club, participants agreed to receive a monthly packet with Plate It Up KY Proud recipe cards. After receiving their packet each month, participants are encouraged to make at least one recipe that is included in the packet. The evaluation results after the first month of Recipe Club showed that 100 percent of participants made at least one recipe included in the packet and all 100 percent reported that they liked the Plate It Up KY Proud recipe that they chose to make. As a result of the Recipe Club, 75 percent of the participants reported that they had increased both their fruit and vegetable consumption.
