4 — <strong>Indiana</strong>’s Cookin’ - <strong>Indiana</strong> <strong>Gazette</strong>, Monday, April 5, 20<strong>10</strong><br />

Wagoner and interns ready for the show<br />

DIANE WAGONER<br />

For the past seven years, as a<br />

representative from the Food and<br />

Nutrition Department at <strong>Indiana</strong><br />

University of Pennsylvania, I have<br />

been invited to participate in the<br />

<strong>Indiana</strong>’s Cookin’ <strong>Show</strong>.<br />

What an honor and a pleasure it<br />

is to work on a project that not<br />

only involves cooking GOOD<br />

food, but eating it, too!<br />

It is no secret that I have a passion<br />

for cooking and eating.<br />

In fact, my whole family does.<br />

I have four sisters and it never<br />

fails that when we talk on the<br />

phone or gather for a meal we are<br />

talking nonstop about recipes,<br />

where to shop for ingredients,<br />

who has the best produce and so<br />

on.<br />

My passion for food began<br />

when I was very young.<br />

I helped my mother prepare<br />

“pots” of chili, spaghetti sauce,<br />

homemade soups and more …<br />

thus my interest continued to<br />

grow, particularly when I was in<br />

high school and was very challenged<br />

as I struggled to maintain<br />

Start With ...<br />

a healthy weight.<br />

Of course it didn’t help that I<br />

was working at an ice cream<br />

store.<br />

Yummy!<br />

Thus one of my reasons for<br />

studying and teaching about how<br />

we can eat well — and still like it.<br />

Since becoming employed at<br />

IUP 16 years ago, I have taught a<br />

wide range of classes on food, nutrition,<br />

and management.<br />

I have a particular interest in<br />

promoting healthy eating behavior<br />

within the school community,<br />

which often includes educating<br />

parents and teachers.<br />

Eating and cooking well isn’t as<br />

hard as some people think.<br />

My best “promotion technique”<br />

is conducting food demonstrations<br />

on simple dishes that feature<br />

common ingredients, are<br />

low in cost and, of course, are<br />

tasty.<br />

In my view, if it isn’t tasty, it isn’t<br />

worth the calories.<br />

Food is supposed to be something<br />

we enjoy!<br />

them continuously.<br />

They are very creative and enthusiastic<br />

— and energetic!<br />

This is great experience for the<br />

interns to be involved in and we<br />

have fun at the same time.<br />

This is the eighth year that I<br />

have been involved with the show<br />

and each year it gets more exciting!<br />

People want convenient, tasty<br />

recipes along with time-saving<br />

tips and we are trying to add<br />

more of that this year.<br />

The show is really about serving<br />

the <strong>Indiana</strong> community in a fun<br />

and interactive environment.<br />

And the fact that all proceeds go<br />

to ICCAP makes it such a rewarding<br />

experience.<br />

One thing that will most likely<br />

never change is the fact there is<br />

no rehearsal for any part of the<br />

program, so what happens, HAP-<br />

PENS.<br />

It is a “think fast on your feet”<br />

event which makes it all the more<br />

fun!<br />

Hope to see you there!<br />

THE INTERNS<br />

DENNY BONDRA<br />

Bondra became interested in<br />

nutrition during his freshman<br />

year at <strong>Indiana</strong><br />

University of<br />

Pennsylvania following<br />

an introductory<br />

health<br />

and wellness<br />

class. He says he<br />

has always loved<br />

to cook and enjoys<br />

trying new<br />

recipes.<br />

His favorite<br />

way to prepare<br />

food is on the grill, because, he<br />

says, he loves summer. Bondra is<br />

interested in all aspects of the dietetic<br />

profession but has not yet<br />

made specific plans.<br />

The son of George and Pauline<br />

Bondra, he is from Blairsville but<br />

lives in Clarksburg.<br />

dietetic intern at IUP. She graduated<br />

degree in<br />

Born says she<br />

is excited for all<br />

the opportunities<br />

with dietetics<br />

and is still undecided<br />

about the<br />

ERIKA BORN<br />

area of dietetics<br />

she wants to pursue.<br />

She loves to cook and try new<br />

foods. She also believes it is great<br />

to incorporate her culinary interests<br />

into dietetics.<br />

education,<br />

to renal disease.<br />

After the IUP<br />

internship, Henry plans to take<br />
