“What’s for supper?” This question is particularly difficult if you are cooking for one or two people! Meal preparation is often viewed as “too much trouble,” therefore quick unhealthy choices often become the norm. Soon this habit becomes boring, expensive, and can lead to health concerns. So, perhaps it is time to try a few new ideas.
Make plans to attend the “Cooking for One or Two Program” that will be offered at the Sevier County Senior Center on Tuesday, Sept. 20, 2016 from 1–2:30 p.m. During this program you will learn what foods need to be included in your daily diet for best health, as well as cooking tips for preparing meals for one or two.
