Cooking for 1 or 2?
| Wednesday, February 4 1:00 pm @ Library
Cooking for one or two people is more than preparing meals; it is an opportunity to focus on your health, make time for yourself, or to create an opportunity to have a meaningful conversation with someone else. Planning, preparing, and consuming balanced meals at home can help maintain weight, control chronic illness, and meet daily nutritional needs. Includes recipes and tips for cooking smaller meals.
Presented by Franny Eastwood; Nutrition, Food Safety, Health, Family & Child Development Extension Agent. |
