Delectable Dishes for Two Recipes: A Companion's Cookbook of Sharable Dish Ideas!

Do you enjoy time spent dining with your favorite person?

Do you want to know how to make those meals even more enjoyable?

Can you prepare meals more quickly, with a friendly helper?

To get the most in preparing and enjoying dishes for two, you'll want to know more about shopping for smaller meals, especially if you previously shopped for more diners or guests. I'll also touch on your pantry and on keeping foods stocked that you'll frequently be using.

When you shop in readying to prepare smaller meals, you'll need to exercise caution, or you may waste money and still not purchase what you really need.

The grocery store in your neighborhood could wind up being a friend or an enemy, depending on the choices you make. They're designed to "help" you find more things you "need," but they will also stock most of the ingredients you actually DO need.

For some grocery items, you'll want to purchase more in bulk than others, even if you're only cooking dishes for two. If the item you're looking at is way more than you'll use shortly, try to remember shopping without wasting.

You can also use more than one store if one is better for dry goods, and another has fresher produce. Plan ahead, and learn to buy what you need in making dishes for two...
