    Yummy! I will be making this for my sister and me. I’m 72 and she’s 63 so this will be perfect but we’ll still probably have leftovers. Yes!!!!

    I would love to see a one/two person version of the very cheesy baked Tex/Mex style enchiladas (beef, chicken, or cheese) that are smothered in chili sauce and topped with cheese, especially if there is a way to freeze them either before or after baking.

    You are BRILLIANT! What a difference you make with your recipes for 1 - 2.
    I might add that you are one of the only CZcams creators that I find tolerable to watch cook. I had a restaurant for 40 years and it was very successful in our small town. We left a legacy of 3 other restaurants with the same recipes and menu we started with in 1967.
    Good luck in whatever your goal in your endeavors are. You’re definitely one of a kind.

    I'm 76 so that's a little too many steps and things for me to make. But it looks delicious! I've been watching you forever, but am just cooking for myself now. I bought one of your cookbooks. I live on a tiny pension and SS. I also have to convert all recipes I save to fit my diet of 1,200 calories daily. I've lost 195 pounds, so cheating is a no-no! LOL! I love the homemade noodles. I would hardly be able to put any meat in mine. And the sauce I would not use. I like casseroles, basically. I eat around 600 calories for my main meal, and I eat that at noon so the heaviest meal can get worn out and digested. I eat a plain salad for supper and a decent breakfast...but always not one more calorie than 1,200 calories per day. Calories in, calories out. I've been on basically every diet in my many years, and others worked better or quicker, but counting less calories is the one that has worked. I love you and your recipes to pieces! I'm a basic type cook, can't afford too many ingredients. Bless you!

    Lasagna was a great idea! Here is an ideas for small portions: dessert!!! We love dessert, but we don't want to have to make a whole cake, a whole key line pie, a whole pan of brownies, etc. and then have it on hand and feel like we need to eat it all, when we just had a craving one night. We either end up eating it even if we don't want it, as not to waste it - or eventually throw it out, which is wasteful.
    If you're only asking about dinner ideas: chicken pot pie, shepherds pie, brunswick stew, chili, homemade bread (for small pizza, a couple sandwiches, a few pieces of garlic toast, etc.).

    Although I have made pasta, I never considered scaling it back for just the two of us. One, 1lb package of dry spaghetti is enough for 4 dinners, which means I have an open package of dry spaghetti in the pantry.
