Are u living alone....it means cooking for oneself....

Are you living all on your own? Are most of 
the meals taken care  by yourself?
Do you face problems in cooking food where
you often end up with more than required
and having to eat leftovers most of the time
in order not to waste money?
Whoever finds  themselves cooking for one 
or two people. Not only are the recipes
absolutely wonderful, the recipes for using
left overs can also come to help.
A majority of single people have stated that
it is not at all easy to cook for one person.
A number of cookery books for people enthusiastic about healthy cooking for singles are available. How about trying out some  healthy cooking for singles that will benefit 
a lot. Many of them do not comprehend that there is more to healthy cooking for singles
than simply chewing on a fruit or picking on
a salad.  We are all aware of the significance
of healthy cooking and eating. The desire to keep a healthy cooking lifestyle means to experiment for healthy food recipes.
The  biggest issue is keeping ingredients on hand. If you  try to stock fresh ingredients
for cooking. 
One big issue with cooking for 1 is time and
to  stock your pantry and freezer.
You don't have to be a chef to be able to 
prepare some quick easy meals for 1. Just try 2 master some basic cooking skills and to be successful with cooking for 1 person, all it 
takes is a little planning. A helpful shopping
tips and a guide to stocking and storing ingredients helps the single chef. The key is
not to spend a whole of a lot of time cooking every day, but to cook some items, which can
be used in a variety of ways.
Storing food that you have already cooked in 
the freezer section for later use.
While the soup is cooking, prepare tomato 
sauce recipe. When done, portion out and freeze. Use some for a homemade pizza 
for sauce; add your toppings.
Shopping wisely is another key to success.
Have a plan of what to cook and accordingly 
make a list. One can always  purchase foods 
like pasta, rice and oatmeal in bulk.
These foods are versatile and can be combined with other simple ingredients to create a
multitude of meals. Grain products  have a 
long shelf life.  The Non perishable items, are ones that have to be carefully picked.
The Pasta, Beans and tinned items you can easily  get and store in your food cupboard 
until you need them.      
Don't you think that as a single person you
have a lot of freedom to try out new things.
 A simple cooking tip is to experiment with 
food. The benefits of cooking more and 
eating out less, You will gain better nutrition, greater value for your money.
But if you think of ways you can make recipes last for more than one meal and learn simple ways to assemble last minute meals, you may find cooking to be a rewarding experience also.
Look for recipes that freeze well so that  you can turn leftovers into homemade frozen dinners…
You can bake some muffins, which taste good for two to three days. They make great snacks too and are easily eaten on the run.
Frozen vegetables are much better than
canned because they are frozen at the peak
of freshness.
Plan rather select an  easy single serving menus,so that  you   have a stress free and satisfying dinner, without any unwanted leftovers!
A single people can convert any recipe to accommodate any number of people, even a ' single person '.
But cooking solo doesn’t need to be a chore.
It can be a pleasure and can be learnt as an  art.
