 Cooking for One or Two

 You have the basic strategies down, shopping is under control, so, cooking can be a simple process. Right? Well . . . you may still face         challenges: a tight budget, a crowded schedule or loneliness at meal time. Take heart! Whatever your circumstances, you can meet these        challenges with success.

 Janet Godby, family nutrition program assistant, Shelby County’s Purdue Extension Service, will present some ideas on how to meet the challenges faced whether you are cooking for one, two or a crowd, and ways to make cooking in any quantity easy and fun.
