Cooking for one.....or more!

9 years ago

I am getting used to cooking for only myself, but sometimes I get turned loose in the kitchen and LOTS of people benefit. Yesterday I cooked a big chicken in my slow cooker. Today: chicken soup with rice and lots of fresh veggies to two of my neighbors, a big container of chicken salad to another. And PLENTY of both for myself.

I like the idea of having enough to share, but there is no one earby to share with, except Joann, and she shares hers with me. I do pack portions and stick them in the freezer for anoter time, works or me.

Some things are impossible to make for just one.

I love to make soup, and that always means a vat of soup. My freezer has a bunch of soup containers, for which I am grateful at least twice a week.

It's economical, too, which matters a lot when one is on one's own!
