Don’t be afraid to experiment with different foods. You may not feel like cooking now that the kids are gone. That’s understandable if a little wrong-headed. You are what you eat. If you eat garbage, you will look and feel like garbage.

You don’t need to cook every day. All of the recipes I’ve included will feed one or two people for at least two days. If you cook twice as much as you need you can eat a varied, nutritious diet every day of the week and only cook two days a week. When it comes right down to it, you are trading one to two hours of time per week to guarantee that you feel good the other 166 hours that make up that week. That’s what I call a good investment.
