Meals for 1-2 People

Cooking meals for 1-2 people can seem tedious, especially when most recipes are made for many more people and you do not have room in your refrigerator for more leftovers. Quite a few people have told me that it is easier to eat fast food or go to a sit down restaurant rather than cook for just themselves or one other person. I have listed some ideas below to help you eat healthy at home.

Plan your meals ahead of time. This is a tip that goes for everyone, not just those cooking for 1-2 people. Planning your week of meals out at the beginning of each week can have a tremendous impact on your eating habits and whether you choose to eat out or eat at home. Having a plan for each day in place really helps you eat in your home more often.

Buy individually frozen foods. Purchasing individually wrapped portions of food makes it easier to cook just one portion and not have to deal with a lot of leftovers. You can thaw a single chicken breast or tilapia and you have your protein for your meal.

Use online recipes, like www.allrecipes.com. Many sites allow you to divide the recipes into a certain amount of servings, which is most convenient in making meals for 1-2 people.
