Our two kids have been out of the house for over 15 years and I still
haven't mastered cooking for two. My heritage emphasizes that no one
should go hungry so I always make too much. I try to cook for two meals
and serve the leftovers on alternate days. I also try to make things
like spaghetti sauce, served over some kind of pasta the first night,
then in lasagna or chicken-with pasta or similar the following day I use it.

We had grilled pork tenderloin a few days ago. Tonight it will be
slivered and sauteed with peppers and onions and salsa and served in
flour tortillas.

Before I retired, I often had leftovers for lunch at work. Now I try to
have something lighter and save the leftovers for a second day's dinner.

It's not easy and I hate the effort involved in trying to figure it out,
but...ya gotta eat.
