Cooking For Two

If you are looking for a real
challenge, go from cooking for a
family of six, to cooking for two,
the kids are off to college, or
have their own families.

However, you still find yourself
with enough leftovers for an army!
What do you do, you reduce your
portions, and make smaller amounts
of food.

This is also a great weight loss
help, no extra food, now extra
portions. The place to start for
this is in the market, choose
foods that are easy to divide or
come in sizes that are made for
one or two.

Chops, chicken pieces, steaks,
sausage, hamburger and fish
fillets are a good place to start.
If you miss the old standby roast,
get the smallest one you can, then
if it is still too big, divide it
into two pieces and freeze one for
later use.

Leftover roast is great in soups
and stews too, and again it
eliminates leftovers. It is easy
to buy fresh fruits and veggies by
the piece, except in the case of
broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage and
even lettuce.

There are ways around this:
Buy broccoli and cauliflower in
stir fry packages, you can take
out whichever one you want and
save the rest for later.

Lettuce comes in packages prepared
for salads now, and shredded
cabbage for cole-slaw is great for
corned beef and cabbage. Whenever
you can, buy the smaller packages,
however, this isnt always the best
way to go if you are on a budget.

This requires a great deal more
planning ahead; for instance, plan
to use extra canned vegetables in
a soup or stew. Once again, most
vegetables are available frozen,
in which case you can remove the
amount you need and leave the rest
frozen.

Creativity and advanced planning
are two of the main requirements
for cooking smaller portions, but
you will find it extremely cost
effective when you finally get it
down to a fine art.
