How do you cook for 11/2?

I'm sorry I haven't been no much lately. I'm going through a very tough time. Michael and I have separated. Let's just say I was doing all the giving and he was doing all the taking. I will admit I'm a bit sad but I'm trying to stay postive. Like for example the home I am renting is a Frank Lloyd Wright design, Alyssa is attending a wonderful school, my house is cleaner, and I can come and go as I please. But cooking is where I am having a problem.........how do you cook for 11/2?~Chasity

That is what I love about you and me when it comes to food, where other people see problems we see solutions!

I was "involuntarily unspoused" too when my husband died.

I loved garlic, herbs, eggplant and fresh spinach as kid.

Individual or "for 2" cooking and serving dishes are common in the restaurant biz.

The tip about the George Foreman grill is great, Gaye.

Hi dear.
I am so sorry to hear about your separation, it is always such a painful time. Been through that, and still adjusting 4 yrs later (ok, I am slow).

I am also everyday cooking for 1 1/2.. although most of the time there is also the Au-Pair - only way to cope with child care where I live. that does not really makes cooking easier.
most of the times, i cook for the "kids" a plain meal, and then snack.. health wise not good, I know, but I don't fancy the plain stuff, and often am not hungry when I get home from work - too tired and nervous.

FLW did fantastic houses, I am sure yours is one of those... he did have a good concept and life-style down pat.
Please write again - I am sure you will be doing fine, but let us know.

Love Chiara
