Having left overs can be a good thing, and it can be a bad thing. Even too much of a good thing can get old after awhile and end up rotting in the fridge. So, you can either cut recipes in half (or in quarters) or invest in a cookbook that specializes in meals that only serve 1 or 2 people.
My Story: For 5 years my husband and I cooked only for the two of us. We started out cooking our families recipes, but then we would have the same meal for an entire week. Blah! I got smart and started cutting them in half. We didn't have to throw out 1/2 a pan of good food that we either got sick of or it started to mold.
Go Green: Once again, it helps to eliminate waste and keeps things out of the landfills.
Problems: Sometimes finding a good cookbook is hard to find, and trying to find one that has recipes for 1 or 2 people is really hard. That's why I've found cutting the recipes is much easier. Another problem is that sometimes the recipe is hard to cut in half (i.e. do you really want to cut an egg in half and then save that 1/2 an egg for a later date?). If you fail the first time at cutting a recipe, try again!
