Smaller Portion Recipes

I'm still eating Couscous confettei Salad. Can you supply recipes for 1 or 2 next time?

a little couscous goes a LONG way! lol I make ~1/4C for a single serving, so when I saw 1 1/2 cups, I choked a little. I just divided that recipe out to a single serving and it worked just fine. I also changed the amount of water to equal the amount of couscous (otherwise it's just too mushy).

The first couple days I made the recipes fully as written down for us. I then had a fridge full of food haha. The great thing was I used that food for the next several days and now I am adjusting the recipes to 1-2 servings. Well except for the carrot & red pepper soup....I can't seem to get enough of that!

I noticed the recipies seemed a bit large to since I'm a 1 person household so I talked 2 friends into doing it with me and we are going to have a Sunday Cooking day make up all the meals that we can, seperate out all the other ingredients and share the costs to see how it goes Smile

what a great idea campngirl! I've cut the recipes down to 2 servings and use them the next day. But the couscous salad was a surprise, and I'm still eating it. Thank goodness I really like it.

I've been thrilled to hear that people are actually liking the recipies! That was one of the reasons I sucked...uh I mean enticed my girlfriends to join me on this endeavor because that way if I don't like something I'm not going to have a crap load of it left over and won't feel guilty about tossing it if necessary Confused
