When it came time for me to learn how to cook for one at 48yrs old, it was scary because I had never done it. I’ve been a mom since I was 20 and always had others around to feed. I had never had to cook for one unless it was a client but for some reason that was easy because it was my job but doing it for myself, all skills went out the window.

I found myself either eating out, having cereal or a sandwich or just skipping meals all together. I knew I had to find a way to get back to cooking not only for the pleasure of doing it but because the costs associated with eating out are astronomical.

So here I present to how to cook for one, how it can be fun and delicious while saving you time and money along the way. I'm also all about no food waste so I help you figure out what to do with less common ingredients you might have.
