15 One-Pan Dinners for Seniors Living Alone (From a Lunch Lady Who Cooks for One Now)

📕 Get the full cookbook - The Lunch Lady's $3,600-a-Year Grocery Cut (175 recipes & tricks, scaled for 1, 2 or a family): www.dorislunchlady.com Nobody warns you about the arithmetic of it.   I scaled recipes to four hundred children a day for thirty-five years and then in 2014 I came home and could not make supper for one woman without throwing half of it away.  Fifteen suppers out of one pan, made for one person, by a woman who learned it the hard way at sixty-one. Number eleven is a wall made out of foil, and it lets one pan cook two different things that never touch. Number five is the reason your rice comes out sticky and it has nothing to do with the rice. And number one is not a recipe at all - it is the thing that finally stopped me wasting food. I am Mrs. Doris. Thirty-five years behind a school lunch line in Scioto County, Ohio. Four hundred children a day on a dollar and five cents a tray. Three things to write on a card, and they are the whole video. A QUARTER SHEET PAN, nine by thirteen, about eight dollars. SAME THICKNESS, not same size. FOUR OUNCES of protein and two ounces of dry pasta or rice to one supper.  Tell me in the comments: what did you call an egg fried in a hole in a slice of bread - a bird in a nest, toad in the hole, or something else? And what county raised you? I read every one with my coffee. #onepandinner #onepanrecipe
