Does anyone else find it super annoying that recipes on the Internet are almost never for just one person? Most that you’ll find contain servings of four or eight, and sometimes even more, which can be incredibly irritating for someone who just wants to make dinner for themselves. It’s a frustration I hear from a lot of readers as a food writer, which is why I love to develop recipes designated for one person. So I compiled a large list of recipes that you can turn to when you’re in need of something quick to eat. From breakfast to lunch prep, dinner and even dessert and drinks, here are my favorite recipes for one.
