| Impact Report | “Fix It & Forget It Meals” was offered by Home Economist to a large group of men and women at the NM Ag Expo held annual in Portales, sponsored by Roosevelt Co. Extension Office, Roosevelt Co. Chamber of Commerce and a host of local business and individuals. This program featured food preparation skills and food safety information using the slow cooker to allow a greater degree of control of ingredients, more meals eaten at home instead of at restaurants and fast food establishments and ease of food preparation. Participants were excited to be reintroduced to slow cooking and the variety of recipes they were unaware that could be used with this preparation method. Many participants have commented through out the year that they are using these recipes and cooking methods frequently. “No Mess-No Fuss Meals” was presented by Home Economist to ENMU Family and Consumer Science class, High Plains Quilt Festival attendees and Delta Kappa Gama. This demonstration featured recipes with allowed ease of preparation and clean up, advanced food preparation as well as other recipes that were quick and easy additions. Participants learned about using slow cookers, slow cooker liners, cooking in an oven bag in the microwave and conventional oven, foil packet cooking and more. Participants have repeatedly reported using these recipes and ideas. |
