It has become painfully clear lately that all my go to recipes are designed to feed an army of teenagers: mostly grown, very hungry, teenagers. The painful part is that since graduation, I don't have an army to feed, which is why my daughter and I ate fajitas three nights in a row.
It's leftover central in the fridge, and even tonight, as I was making homemade mac and cheese, I told myself to cut it in half, instead of 2 cups of milk, I only need one. It's simple math on this one, and yet I didn't do it. What if the recipe doesn't taste as good when it's not in its full glory?
I guess I'll change when I get sick of leftovers! Currently I have mac and cheese to feed us for another night and have some for lunches too.
I can feed an army, but I've got to relearn to cook so I can feed just a few. I think it's easier said than done!
That must be quite the adjustment. My kids are little, so we often have a lot of leftovers. Someone reminded me this weekend, though, that I won't be storing any food away once the kids are teenagers. LOL
