I was just wondering if anyone had any tips that makes cooking for just one person easier. I don't like to have a lot of leftovers, and anyway, when I cook for two, I tend to eat for two. =( Also, I'm just not a fan of cooking in general, so it's way to tempting for me to just eat out.

Can anyone help?

Cut the recipe ingredients in half. Or get in touch with a friend who likes to cook and share meals together.

Cook well ahead of mealtime, so you won\'t be so tempted to eat then. Cook enough for 3-4 people, or even more, then divide it into that many portions and freeze it...voila!! Homemade TV dinners!!

Thanks for your help. I will try it. I\'ll let you know if it works for me!

Maybe you could cook up all your meals for the week on Sunday, and then freeze them. Take them out as needed...Just a thought...

Whatever you cook- if it\'s larger than what you should eat- freeze it immediately! Don\'t even wait too long for it to cool down or put it in the fridge as you may find yourself foraging later and just dive into the leftovers if they aren\'t frozen.

I also live alone and just cook for myself. I don\'t eat out. And I also have to deal with making too much and going back to the fridge to finish it off. Here\'s how things work in my world: almost nothing in my fridge is edibe without cooking (except fruit, bread and a glass of jam). My typical lunch will be a fillet of fish or a chicken thigh and some veggies. Now, you can portion out just the right sizes of fish and chicken for one meal, that\'s doable, right? Well, then, while you meat or fist in roasting in a pan, take out whatever veggies you have, steam or cook them, and that\'s your lunch! Now, in that way, you cannot make too much meat or fish, and if you make to much veggies, well, haha, throw them out. I don\'t feel guilty if I throw a little bit of vegetables away (or even if I end up eating them, hihi).
