Suggested Recipes
The recipes listed within weekly lessons are suggested recipes. OSU Extension SNAP-Ed Cooking Matters has selected one recipe per week and provided a step-by-step breakdown within the WEEKLY STEP BY STEP DOCUMENTS header below. It is recommended when you are first delivering Cooking Matters curriculum, you follow the selected recipe for the weekly class lesson. The selected recipe is paired with a comprehensive set of documents within the WEEKLY STEP BY STEP DOCUMENTS which will guide you and your team as you become familiar with the curriculum. There are times when certain ingredients may not be available or the class participants are interested in a specific recipe. In these cases you can change the recipe; however, you may want to consider if you can substitue an ingredient rather than the entire recipe. If you do decide to change, or swap a recipe, consider participant tastes, cost of groceries, classroom logistics and does the change fit into the lesson plan while offering the participant the same goal/objective for the weekly lesson.
