Want to Brush Up on Home Cooking Skills? 

For many, if not most, of us; one result of the COVID-19 pandemic has been that we are staying at home and cooking more family meals.  However, healthful, and great-tasting food preparation can be overwhelming if you are new to cooking or need a refresher. 
If you are among those who would like to brush up on kitchen skills, the Cooking Basics fact sheets can help you get organized and plan and prepare nutritious and great tasting meals.

Having the basic kitchen tools makes meal preparation so much easier.  In addition, having a well-stocked pantry can help you have on hand what you need to get a meal on the table at a moment's notice.  Check out these two videos from North Carolina State Extension to learn more.
