Tips for Cooking Recipes for Two People
Know Your Storage Options:Â If you can, freeze leftovers. For example, make a big lasagna or casserole, bake one half and freeze the uncooked half for later. Soups also freeze well. Just make sure you label everything in the freezer. Get ingredients that you know can be stored for later. Store dry pasta, rice and other pantry staples in resealable containers.
Mix Up Leftovers:Â Leftovers can be used as one of the ingredients on a whole new dish. Use last night's rice for today's fried rice, or combine leftover chicken with tomato sauce for an easy pasta dish. Don't be afraid to experiment with your leftovers.
Always Think Small:Â Don't buy more than you need just because it might be cheaper. Only buy as much produce as you need. You can get small portions of fresh vegetables from a salad bar. Order meat and fish directly to make sure you get only exactly what you need. Cut your favorite recipes in half for smaller portions and to use fewer ingredients.
