One thing I'm learning how to do is use smaller portions when I cook. There are only 3 of us here and I seem to cook for a large group. Even left overs get lost in the frig. So I'm trying new recipes for 2-3 and I found this chart that is very helpful for someone who is mathematically challenged.
Karen,
ReplyDeleteWe're still cooking for six here, and our 12 year old boys appetite has recently caught up with his father's. I think by my next birthday he'll be as tall as I am.
I like your posts and I love your fun colorful blog. And who knows, one of these days I may need to know how many tablespoons are in a half cup.
Karen. I am used to cooking for a large amount too. It's been hard for me to change my ways. I was raised with 9 younger siblings, then I went to a family of 6. But now, it is uaually only Bryan and Travis and I that I cook for. Kayla still lives here, but eats at friends often. I'm trying to get in the habit of only cooking for 3 now.
