HEALTHY CENTS FOOD DEMONSTRATION VIDEOS

The food demonstration videos Krista Gray created for the SNAP-Education team are more popular than expected. The collection of ten videos are used by the whole team during Healthy Cents lessons for adults. Krista walks the viewers through Healthy Cents recipes such as fruit dip, chicken corn chowder, and homemade hummus using easy-tofind ingredients and basic cooking utensils. “We notice the participants are really engaged in Krista’s demonstration videos,” mentioned Rebecca Crumrine, SNAP-Ed coordinator. “One class broke into spontaneous applause after her pumpkin bread video.” The videos provide another learning style, as well as fit into time and space limitations of the current teaching environment.
