About One Person
These recipes serve one. They use small amounts, short cook times and few dishes. You will find mug meals, skillet dinners, small soups, single baked potatoes and easy lunches.
They differ from Couples recipes by making only a single plate. Many can also be stored or frozen in single portions. They are not scaled-down family casseroles but meals planned to be simple and enjoyable on your own.
Questions folks ask
How do I cook for one without waste?
Buy small amounts and freeze the rest. Pick recipes that use ingredients in more than one dish.
Can I scale down a family recipe?
Yes, for many dishes. Divide the amounts and use a smaller pan, and watch the cooking time.
What are quick meals for one?
Omelets, stir-fries, quesadillas and small pasta dishes come together fast.
Kitchen tips
- Buy small packs or freeze extras in single portions.
- Use a small skillet or baking dish.
- Cook a base, like rice or beans, and use it a few ways.
- Set the table nicely. A meal for one still deserves care.
- Label and date anything you freeze.
