Batch cooking for 1

By Mayo Clinic Staff

Cooking for one can be challenging when most recipes serve 4 or more. But don't throw away the leftovers. Use them for future meals. Make a casserole or stew and freeze the extra in individual-size servings. Bake chicken for one meal and use the leftovers in soups, salads or sandwiches.
