“Cooking for One or Two” program to be held at Chanute Library on March 13. Program aims to help individuals with food preparation skills.
Cooking for one or two people can sometimes feel like a burden. While it can be tempting to skip meals, opt for convenience foods, or go out to eat, preparing meals at home can be good for your health and for your wallet.

The MyPlate recommendations encourage us to make half of our plate fruits and vegetables, focus on whole fruits, vary our veggies, make half of our grains whole grains, vary our protein routine, and move to low-fat or fat-free dairy options.
