4-H Food and Fun

  • Saturday, November 18, 2017, 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM

Extension Staff will be organizing a fun and nutritious event of food preparation and tasting for 4-H members and families on Saturday November 18th from 10am-1pm. Participants will be asked to prepare a dish on site in the categories of appetizers/snacks, main dish/ sides, desserts using the Extension Kitchen. There will be access to  electric table top griddles, hot plates, microwave etc if necessary. If there is a portion to the recipe that needs to be chilled or cooked for an extended period of time it is acceptable to prepare prior to the event; however, the bulk of the food dish should be prepared and assembled by the 4-H’er at the event.

Participants are asked to try and prepare a healthy recipe, or to adapt a pre-existing recipe to make it healthier by substituting healthy alternative ingredients. Participants will have 2 hours to prepare their recipe, and at noon all dishes will be available for taste testing by all participants and families, and will be voted on for their favorite recipe. Participants are asked to provide copies of their recipe and to write a brief explanation of how the recipe is healthy, or how they modified an old recipe to make it healthier. For more information please contact Cassondra Caswell at 315-379-9192 x235.
