Is cooking for one or two really worth the effort? Fifteen percent of the population in Breckinridge County is aged 62 and older, and many families consist of a single elderly person, couples just starting out, or single parents with a child. “Cooking for One or Two,” taught by the Family and Consumer Sciences Extension Agent, addressed this issue by encouraging the fourteen participants to prepare meals at home regardless of how many were sitting down for dinner. The lesson covered the benefits of cooking at home and for smaller numbers, including the opportunity to try new recipes; adapting meals to satisfy individual preferences; adjusting quantities; and freezing, organizing, and planning meals.
