    Cooking for One

    Cooking for one can be just as satisfying and delicious as serving a crowd. Your meal matters just as much as the next person's! Enjoy these easy, budget recipes that can easily be scaled to serve just one person.

    These meals for one include regular size recipes that do not require a large baking dish and can easily be scaled to feed as many or as few as you like. Just adjust the number of servings and the ingredients list will adjust automatically. In many cases, if you decide to make a regular batch, you can freeze the extra so that you get a few nights off in the future.
