I love cooking for two. It has become one of the best things about empty nesting. I love being able to buy quality ingredients. Another thing I love about cooking for two is eating the leftovers for lunch the next day. Some recipes make slightly more than portions just for two and allow just enough for a good quality and tasty lunch the next day.
