Should cooking for one be so hard to do?

Are you a single person that lives by yourself or do you have a few nights alone?  If so, are you finding it harder and harder to cook for one person?  It may be easier than you think.   There are so many people I know that are single, I just had to add a page about cooking for one.  I never understood why some of my single family members and friends almost never go to the supermarket.  They say that they don't go because there's no point in making all that food for just them.  I always felt that cooking for one should be easier since I have a family of three and grew up in a family of six.     Having to cook for others for so many years makes cooking for one look mighty tempting.  So let's get back to all those single people and why they cook so little if at all.  First, there's only one of you and with the price of food these days that has to be a plus.  Second, you don't have to make what other people like, compromising your own preferred diet or tastes.  Finally, there is a plenty of recipes that leave no leftovers.  I think not having leftovers is preferred among those living alone.  To me it seems like the sky's the limit when it comes to cooking for one. The more I write the more I think about getting a cooking for one cookbook and pulling it out on those quiet Friday nights when my husband and daughter are out spending their time together.  Yep, I think I will.  So I guess it's safe to say that cooking for one is not just for single people but for anyone that wants to savor a delectable dish for just one night.  Whether your single or having a quiet night alone, try cooking up one of these great meals.
