EASY ONE PERSON MEALS

As a gal who lives on her own, I can confidently say that it can be frustrating to find recipes for easy one-person meals.  Also frustrating is making a recipe for 4-6 people and eating the same thing all week long as leftovers.

For a long time after I was on my own, I consistently made too much food each week and ended up tossing a lot of it because it was just too repetitive.  Sometimes I would end up “accidentally” making soup for like eight people. For some reason, no matter how many servings the recipe made, the final product was enough for a small crowd.

I have been experimenting with cooking a larger batch and freezing portions, but not everything freezes well, so that can be a bit limiting.  In this post, you will find a bunch of great recipes for one or two people that will satisfy your cravings and not leave you with a week’s worth of food to try and gobble up.

One thing to keep in mind when making single meals is that you can pick exactly what you love. No need to worry about pleasing an entire family – just YOU!  So pick what you like. And be sure to use the good plates and glassware, because you deserve it.

Let’s take a look at these delicious one-person recipes!
