| Impact Report | THE GREENS COOKING CLASS Senior community lacking resources in the areas of diabetes, healthy cooking, and cooking for one. The Home Economist with help from the 4-H Agent carried out a cooking class for twenty-four participants. Seniors observed how to prepare Oven-Baked Parmesan Zucchini from the Diabetic Meals Cookbook and Salmon Cakes from the New Mexico Recipes Cookbook. Throughout the cooking demonstration participants learned how to use herbs and spices to flavor foods instead of salt (How Much Salt test tubes were passed around), tips on cooking for one like how to freeze leftovers and grocery shopping with a friend to split produce with, serving sizes, and Diabetic Food Guide Pyramid basics. Participants tasted what was prepared. Seniors were shocked by the great taste of the Zucchini and Salmon Cakes that were flavored with paprika and no added salt. Fifty percent of the participants said they would cut back on their salt intake and substitute more herbs and spices. Participants were informed of Kitchen Creations to be held in September and five attended. |
