We hope you enjoy these and more easy to make, single-serve recipes. But any recipe can be made for one by adjusting the amount of ingredients to make a single serving. For example, if the serving size is three, only use one-third of each ingredient. Or, to extend the life of a recipe, cook one that serves four people and eat the other servings throughout the week!
