OSUE SNAP-Ed Adult & Parent Curriculum
OUR MISSION
Ohio SNAP-Ed is a nutrition education program serving low- income adults and youth throughout Ohio. Our goal is to improve the likelihood that persons receiving SNAP benefits will make healthy food choices within a limited budget and choose physically active lifestyles consistent with the current Dietary Guidelines for Americans and the USDA food guidance.
OHIO SNAP-Ed, COOKING MATTERS OVERVIEW
Ohio SNAP-Ed, through OSU Extension, offers Cooking Matters® for Adults & Parents as one the many curricula offered by Ohio SNAP-Ed nutrition education program. The curriculum teaches low-income adults about healthy meal preparation and sensible shopping on a limited budget. Each week participants observe a multi-session course that combines hands-on food preparation with nutrition information, food budgeting and shopping techniques.
CLASS BASICS
• Classes meet for two hours, one time per week for six weeks • Volunteer chef leads a food-network-styled cooking demo • Participants break into teams to prepare the recipe for themselves • OSUE Program Assistants, who are trained to teach nutrition classes to low-income audiences, lead the nutrition segment of class which corresponds to the weekly topic and recipe • We share a meal together • Participants take home a copy of the recipe and the ingredients to recreate the recipe at home • Week 5 is a guided tour of a local grocery store• 12-15 participants per six-week course • Participants must attend 4 of 6 classes in order to “graduate”
