For how many people do you usually cook? [View all]

For me, it's just two, and this is true both when I am cooking at home and when I go to cook for Dad & Sis. (When my son was a teenager, we always had some of his friends at our dinner table.)

I'm very fortunate that none of us are picky eaters.

My sis and Dad are probably the least finicky. Dad doesn't care for hot dogs and sis avoids black olives. Other than that, they pretty much will eat whatever I make for them.

My guy doesn't care for peas. He doesn't care for green peppers (preferring red or yellow instead) or red onions. I don't care for the family of orange squashes, and I do not like raisins or cottage cheese.

It'd be nice to be able to make one meal for all 4 of us, but Dad eats early in the evening, Sis reheats when she gets home from work after 9 pm, and my guy and I eat around 7 pm.
