Meals for One Or Two

by Meals Matter | about the author 27. January 2011 15:48

At MealsMatter.org we understand that families come in all shapes and sizes. This week, we’re breaking a little bit from tradition in Family Meals Matter to talk about planning meals for families with just one or two people.

MealsMatter.org has over 1,300 recipes that are perfectly proportioned for small households -- simply do an advanced search for “Meals for One or Two”. Or, if you're a busy cook, you may prefer recipes designed for four people and plan on refrigerating or freezing the extra portions for future lunches or dinners.

Whether you’re cooking for a family of one, two, four or more, this week’s recipes can easily be scaled up or down depending how many people will grace your table.

Start with a featured family meal of Corn con Carne, developed by food blogger The Food Hound for her 2-person household, Peach Berry Compote with Yogurt and Almonds and Fruit Juice Coolers.

Then enjoy Chicken Asparagus Parcels, "Healthified" Three Cheese Manicotti, Carrot and Broccoli Soup and Broiled Eggplant with Garlic Sauce throughout the week.

“Family Meals Matter” features recipes selected by registered dietitians from the thousands of user-contributed recipes on Meals Matter , sponsored by Dairy Council of California. Healthy Eating Made Easier™
