Favorite Pinterest Recipes

My Mantra via Pinterest

I love FOOD! I love to eat food, cook food and talk about food. One thing I don’t like about food is how difficult it can be to cook for one person. I am not always the biggest fan of leftovers, but I do like to have a few things ready to go in the fridge so that I can whip up something quickly after the gym or on the go. I regularly turn to Pinterest for inspiration and I thought I would share six of my favorite Pinterest recipes with you. These are dishes that I don’t mind having leftover for a few days and are staples when I am in a cooking rut. Let me know what your favorite dishes are and how you cook for one!

I agree, it is definitely so tough to cook for one person, leftovers sometimes are great though. So easy to bring to lunch the next day!

I love, love, love food too, Ariana 🙂 Since my family is from the Caribbean, my favorite dish is curry shrimp & white rice. Rice is definitely a dinner staple that I’ve learned how to make for a party of one. I don’t mind a couple days leftover of curry shrimp.

Happy Tuesday 🙂

  They are amazing! And still good as leftovers reheated in a toaster oven or in a pan on the stove to keep them crisp!
