Welcome to Cooking for the Single Person!

Hello! Welcome! This blog was created due to after searching for a cookbook for a person living by oneself was very hard to find. The ones I did find were filled with thing I could not eat. I am highly allergic to dairy. So I was resorted to taking recipes and doing the math and having to scale them down, which at times, is time consuming. In the current world, we like to be able to whip up thing in less than an hour, factoring down the recipe is not part of that time. I come from a family of 5. I have been cooking ever since I could safely reach the back knobs to the stove and oven. Cooking for 5, was easily. Cooking for 1, not so much. In the past few years, it was easy to buy the prepackaged things from the store. That all changed last year. I was diagnosed with Thyroid Cancer and had to be put on a very strict diet for my CAT scan. I was not allowed to eat anything with preservatives. So, as you may assume, I slowly began to realize that I cant have all the prepackage things. I had to go back to the basic, back to healthy foods and cooking all of them!!! I have never cooked so much in my entire single life! So, what will you find in this blog? Recipes on healthy foods, that you can find at your local supermarket and cooking them. Remember me mentioning a dairy allergy? I know what your thinking. And no, they will not all be dairy free. I love Coconut milk and Goat cheese and yogurt to much to leave that out. I will list things normally, i.e. milk, cheese, etc. You may choose what kind to use. I will note on what I use, but you don't have to use them. I will also list substitutions for things if you ever find yourself out of a certain ingredient.  I will try to add a recipe a week. Also, feel free to request recipes. I have a ton! Just because you live alone, doesn't mean you cant make amazing food for one.
