So, kids are gone, ex and I are no longer together (hence ex i guess lol) and I still find I over cook, I try to use less but it seems if I cook much more than a box of macaroni its too much. Sure I save leftovers, but one can only eat so much leftovers.

How have you dealt with over cooking? Or maybe I’m the only one?

    I’m not an empty nester but due to food allergies my wife and I eat different things. I find a good kitchen scale to be a hard requirement. Just take your recipe and scale it down. For pasta, I weigh the entire box, divide by four, weigh out and cook that fourth.

        All credit goes to that dude in the Bible that managed to feed everyone with a single fish, loaf of bread and jug of wine. Not a lot of people realize that Jesus invented hors d’oeuvres. Holy tapas!
