Nashville, Ark. – Has your family size decreased due to kids moving off to college or getting started out on their own? Are you an “empty nester”?
Do you live by yourself and find it difficult to prepare healthy, inexpensive meals? This can be a real challenge. However, with the right tools and information, you can eat healthy while enjoying the foods you love. Here’s how:
Before long you will master the art of reducing recipes and making meals go further. If you are interested in receiving the fact sheet on storing foods in the freezer or for a handy chart showing how to reduce recipes, contact the Howard County Extension Service at 870-845-7517 or visit our office located on the second floor of the courthouse. The Cooperative Extension Service is part of the University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture.
This recipe was featured this week at the Extension Homemakers Leader Training lesson, “Quick, Healthy, Inexpensive Meals for 1 or 2”. It is perfect for fall! If you would like to receive information about Extension Homemakers and what they do to help improve their lives through education or improve the lives of others through community service, contact the Extension office. I will be glad to add you to our mailing list which announces most activities. Maybe you are interested in getting involved in community activities that do not cost a lot. Extension Homemakers is a great volunteer organization that works closely with the Extension Service.
