I\u2019m now in my last full week of my OSU Extension internship. This summer has flown by with so many fun events and learning experiences. I can\u2019t believe my internship is almost finished. Throughout this summer, I have had the opportunity to help with and plan many projects. I got\u00a0to assist with a Farm to School Camp. I got to help teach kids about healthy eating, gardening and making some Food Hero recipes. I started this project right at the beginning of\u00a0my internship and it taught me a lot about Food Hero and the vast range of topics SNAP-Ed\u00a0covers.<\/p>\n

I have also had the opportunity to help with teaching the Growing Healthy Kids curriculum in\u00a0the Hermiston Library. This project was run by the Hermiston SNAP-Ed team, but I was very\u00a0excited to be able to assist in the class. This class was unique compared to the other events I\u00a0participated in because it was usually the same families every week. This meant we could start\u00a0to develop a relationship with these families and see them grow and get more comfortable with\u00a0the class.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve also had the opportunity to hand out free food samples and educate the public about Food Hero at both the Pendleton Farmers Market and the Milton-Freewater farmers market. I\u2019ve always loved attending the Pendleton farmers market, so getting to hand out free food samples was a very fun experience. I got to choose the recipes, make the food, make handouts of the recipe and hand out the food samples to the public.<\/p>\n

The project that I\u2019m the proudest of is handing out free food samples at the summer meal site\u00a0in Pendleton. For this project I picked all the recipes, made all of the handouts and handed out\u00a0the food samples by myself. I decided to do an around-the-world theme for the food samples\u00a0for the month of July. I wanted to show that you can edit and combine Food Hero recipes to\u00a0make dishes from all over the world, and I wanted to introduce people to flavors and new\u00a0recipes. I also wanted to show people that you can make interesting meals while\u00a0on a budget. I love cooking and creating recipes, so I really loved this project.<\/p>\n

Overall, I feel so proud of all my work with OSU Extension this summer. I was able to help and\u00a0take the lead on such a variety of projects. I want to give a huge thank you to Shevon Hatcher\u00a0for knowing the answer to every single question I could ever think of; Maria-Ximena Williams\u00a0for letting me take the lead on projects while also always being there to support me; and\u00a0Carolina Muniz for including me in some of Hermiston\u2019s projects.<\/p>\n
