Hey Cricket!
I feel your pain. I'm cooking for 3, one of which expects me to cook every night but refuses to eat leftovers. What's even worse is I'm used to cooking for hordes so I've had to learn to scale back the volume of what I'm making.
If you find a recipe that says it makes 4 serving, simply divide the amount of each ingredient by 4 to give you how much to use for 1. If you get a weird amount, particularly with herbs and spices, simply make 2 servings and have leftovers or freeze the meal for another day.
Glad you're here!
