Open in Pepper →Cooking Well, Even for Yourself
Cooking for one gets a bad rap — takeout menus, sad microwave meals, half a pound of ground beef that goes off before you finish it.
Cooks on Pepper love this collection because every recipe scales down cleanly to a single serving without asking you to buy a whole cabbage or waste half a can.
Every recipe here is portioned for one plate, uses ingredients you can finish in a single meal, and skips the leftover chore entirely.
Quick Tips
- 1
Buy the smallest pack
One chicken thigh, two shrimp — a good butcher or deli will sell you exactly what you need.
- 2
Freeze the extras
Portion ground meat into 4oz bags before freezing — pull one out, dinner sorted.
- 3
Skip the sheet pan
A 10-inch skillet holds one serving perfectly — sheet pans are for feeding four.
- 4
Cook the whole vegetable
Roast a whole bell pepper or half a squash — use half tonight, chop the rest into tomorrow's eggs.
