Hi everyone,
I'm a single-person household and have recently been getting into cooking more of my meals from scratch.
I've been using some "cooking for one" cookbooks although I must admit they are not the MOST healthy food options although they are better than processed/fast foods.
I'd like to start cooking even healthier choices but I find most cookbooks offer meals for 4+.
How do you handle this? I know I could just quarter the recipes but I personally don't mind eating the same thing for 3-4 days in a row. Leftovers don't bother me. Plus this option seems more economical and more time-saving.
Specifically I'm thinking of cooking more meat & veggies based foods with less grains/sugars. I have a bunch of paleo cookbooks (both Well Feds, 21DSD, all the Primal Blueprint cookbooks) and I also have 2 Williams Sonoma cookbooks - Cooking From the Farmers Market and Weeknight Fresh & Fast. Both of these have tons of recipes that are grain/added-sugar free.
Any tips? What does and does not freeze? How about just refridgerating leftovers? What do you put the food in to freeze it?
