Letter from a Program Graduate

The nutrition class I recently completed has helped me a lot. Most of all I had learned nutritional aspects. How and what my family should be doing and eating, or what we need more of. A large number of diabetics runs in my family and learning about nutritious facts has helped me to decrease chances of becoming a diabetic.

I have talked about my classes with my husband and we both are now fixing more nutritious meals. We are now eating more fruits and more vegetables as well as trying new vegetables to get the nutrients we need. We are still working to increase better eating habits.

My husband and myself are now shopping with a list more often. I learned how to plan meals and make up menus. I shared these ideas with my husband and he now helps to make up menus.

I love receiving the recipes and books. I have used many of the recipes I received. My family has liked all the recipes that we have tried. I have tried and used the system on freezing meals. That was and is a tremendous help. The idea of an entire meal just needing heated is great.

I have implemented almost all that I learned at home as well as telling others about it and the program. I would tell my friends about the class, telling them I already knew how to cook but my teacher was teaching me more and easier ways to do things.

I want to express my thanks for being given the opportunity to take this class. I enjoyed my teacher [NEA]. She was very good. My only regret is that it is over.
