Here are all my tips on cooking for two! Plus, get a free meal plan filled with easy, healthy dinner recipes that can double as lunches.

Make something you'll both love!
Figuring out what to make for dinner can be exhausting. If you and your partner are tired of the frantic “What should we have for dinner?!” texts at 4 PM, then this post is for you. I put together my fave dinner recipes that you'll both love, including tips on prepping for two. You'll even have leftovers for lunch the next day!
Tips & Tricks for Cooking for Two
Here are my top tips on cooking for two:
- Meal plan together: Sit down and pick recipes you both like, then make your meal plan for the week.
- Choose overlapping ingredients: Find recipes that use overlapping ingredients, so you're not wasting food (or grocery money).
- Take the leftovers: Most of my recipes serve four, so you'll have leftovers for lunch the next day. If you have leftover ingredients, repurpose them into a new meal.
- Ingredient prep: Cook grains, mix sauces and chop veggies to save time. Check out my post on ingredient prep for more tips.
