decker_bear 197 Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 This isn't my first Whole30, but it IS my first Whole30 cooking for one. My oldest son moved out a few months ago and my youngest is moving out this weekend. On one hand, it's ideal, because I am far too easily tempted by the idea of ordering pizza or Chinese food, and when it's just me it's a lot easier to quiet the little devil on my shoulder. On the other hand, I am NOT used to cooking for one. I am used to making family-sized meals. I can only do protein plus veg plus fat so many times before I'm kicking and screaming and instantly in "this is stupid" mode. I do better with recipes - Pad Thai, casseroles - that sort of thing. Leftovers more than once and I'm back in the kicking and screaming mode because I want something different. But I still think it's doable to appease my inner spoiled child and do W30 at the same time. My question, then, is this: what recipes do you have that are well suited for feeding 1 or 2 people? Those of you who do cook for one or two, any tips for prepping without hitting the food boredom phase and boycotting leftovers all together? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
laura_juggles 530 Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 I'll cook a recipe that sounds good and kinda ignore how many servings it is. Then when it's done - Eat 1 serving Put 1 serving in the fridge Portion the rest of the servings and put them in the freezer. Bam. Good food on hand for when I don't feel like cooking.

decker_bear 197 Posted September 4, 2020 Author Share Posted September 4, 2020 Thanks for the suggestion! I'll give that a shot. I know some stuff freezes better than others, so I could always stick to stuff that will freeze well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
