Hello!
Week 5!
I helped with a track during 4-H teen conference. It was about Plate
It Up! Kentucky Proud. The first day the teens learned about vitamins and mineral, did a activity on buying local and also learned about portion sizes. After the classroom work we took a trip to the Lexington Farmer’s market where they bought the
ingredients for the Plate It Up recipes they made the next day. Last semester I
took a class at UK that helped test Plate It Up recipes and change them so they
are healthier with fresh fruits and vegetables grown in KY. Seeing recipes that
had been tested in past semesters from the same class was really cool. I also
enjoyed helping the teens when they had questions about their recipes.

Week 6!
I have been working on the 2014 Food and Nutrition Calendar
this summer. On Tuesday we prepared all 12 recipes that will be featured in
next years calendar. The graphic artist and professional photographers spent
hours on setting up the food in different dishes and taking the perfect picture
for the calendar. I was in charge of making two recipes and they turned out
really good!
Special Project!
My special project this summer is writing new curriculum for
Literacy Eating Activity for Primary (LEAP). At the beginning of my internship I updated the old ones and
became familiar with the curriculum. I chose two new books “How Groundhogs
Garden Grew” and “Pizza at Sally’s”. I had to write a lesson plan for the
facilitator as well as a newsletter for the children to take home to their
parents. The newsletters are very informational and teach the parents about nutrition as well. Being a dietetics major
helped me write the curriculum because I used my knowledge that I learned in
class.The new children's books for LEAP for each county were also shipped this week so guess who got to count all 1,800 of them..... ME!
