Like a plate of crayons

Lunch at the last session of the spring Family Resources Program at Mifflin County extension on Wednesday includes easy skillet lasagna, tossed salad, roll, butter and fruit salad. Shared preparation time took only a few minutes, and the lasagna took 30 minutes to cook.
LEWISTOWN — Paraphrasing a tidbit in a University of Nebraska extension newsletter, Helen Sangrey told four young adult students, “Your plate should look like a box of crayons — lots of color.’’
The four were participants in Penn State Cooperative Extension’s Family Resources Program, which was held over a six-week period by Mifflin County extension.
The actual quote by Janice M. Horowitz, published in Time magazine on Jan. 12, 2002, read, “For optimum health, scientists say eat a rainbow of colors. Your plate should look like a box of Crayolas.’’
In addition to such widely varied subjects as family finances, legal issues and educational opportunities, the course focused primarily on food — wise food choices, preparing the food and making mealtime a pleasant, fruitful family time.
