Cooking for one

—by Marcella Jerome

With an emphasis on eating healthy (read fruits, vegetables, nuts, and grains), cooking for one can be difficult. Using homemade mixes and garden-fresh produce goes a long way to meeting that goal when time is at a premium and I’m hungry as I walk in the door or I’m rushing out in the morning. The approaching warm weather can only add to the frustration. Over the years I’ve found many recipes that I like and that work well to cook in larger amounts and freeze or put on the shelf for another time. Click on the recipes above to see some of my favorites.
