Easy Meals for Two or Just for You   

Do you feel like it just isn't worth the time it takes to prepare a meal for only one or two people? Do you find yourself settling for less healthy frozen dinners or take-out food more often than you would like? If you are answering yes to these questions, you may be selling yourself short.   Read on for some tips and inspiration to help you prepare and enjoy healthy meals...even when cooking for one or two.
    
 

 
 
Healthy Snacks as Meals          
Short on time, or not hungry for a full meal?  Eating small amounts of food as snacks throughout the day makes it easy to get the nutrients you need. Check out this handout from our Stay Strong, Stay Healthy program to see how you can make eating easy.
