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 />
As a registered dietitian, I also<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 />

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 />

to incorporate her culinary interests<br />
into dietetics.<br />
