Yes, leftovers are great – but eating the same crock pot meal for an entire week can get old real quick. Check out these delicious recipes that are great when you’re cooking for two!
Steak De Burgo for Two
“Simple ingredients come together so nicely, this would impress anyone. Especially your sweetie on Valentine's Day. It's very good and easy! The toppings on this are really what makes this special. The mushrooms and shaved Parmesan cheese is so good but the fresh basil pulls it all together. Delish!” - Janet
Almond Crusted Tilapia for Two
“This is a recipe worthy of repeating again and again. I had a choice today at the grocery store between Alaskan Cod and Tilapia. I went with Cod this time, but will use Tilapia next time. It was absolutely delicious. The finely chopped almonds and parmesan gave it such a crunchy crust, and the spices mixed with the egg made the fish very tasty. We love fish, and this will become a favorite way to fix it.” - drcid
Microwave Shrimp Scampi for Two
“I made this recently and it worked perfectly! I love the Old Bay Seasoning in this! And I love how quick and easy it is!” - Lilliancooks
Pancakes For One Or Two
“I have to say these were different than what I am used to. They were quite good in fact. Not sure if anyone that has tried them thinks they taste like french toast or not, but to me, they do. I am not sure if I did it wrong, if I did, it was a nice little oops on my part. If it was meant to be this way, great job!” - BOseland
Microwave Cheesecake for One or Two
“I made this and it came out glorious! I melted blackberry preserves in the microwave and drizzled on top. My husband loved it. Thank you!” - Mimmylove
Quick and Easy Coffee Cake for Two - Microwave
“I made this today and it got rave reviews from the family. It was very moist and tasty for being done in the microwave. My mother said, ‘it's a cake that will feed 3 or more, but can be eaten by one.’ Hope you all like it.” - KarenV
Norma's Stuffed Maple/Sausage Acorn Squash for Two
“I made this tonight and the stuffing alone was so good! I had a very large acorn squash which I should have left in the oven much longer before stuffing (20 minutes wasn't long enough). Aside from the extended baking time, this recipe is a definite keeper! I will certainly make this again.” - Nancy_Landa
Hearty Lasagna for Two
“I absolutely love this recipe. I did not change one ingredient. Find it easier for me on the stove, but otherwise followed exactly. Thank you for sharing.” - jlight
French-Boned Ribeye for Two
“Amazing flavor from the bone, nice marbling and very tender.” - Smokr
Breakfast Cups for Two
“This is a wonderful breakfast dish when cooking for 2 people and do not want to make a large breakfast casserole or quiche. I will cook up these and have one that morning and warm up the other the next day. Put what you like in these!” - BOseland
Easy Biscuits for Two
“Biscuits are best made fresh...and right out of the oven. Most recipes call for 2 cups flour and make 12 good sized biscuits. I cook for only 2 people on a regular basis, so I made this recipe to be just right for a morning breakfast for two. Although we mostly serve biscuits for a morning offering, really, they are good with any meal.” - theorganizedchef
Baked Parmesan Chicken for Two
“My husband asks for this at least once a week. It has become a favorite at our house. Easy to make and delicious.” - debb1353
Light as Air Pancakes for Two
“Just made this morning and they are yummy!” - grill_man “I made these for the first time today. As light as we have ever eaten! Family tested and approved! They will be in our family from now on, thank you for sharing.” - JoEllen1946
Monkey Bread for Two
“I didn't want to make a large monkey bread for just my husband and I, so I experimented with just 1 can of butter biscuits...this is what I came up with.” - pjgourmeg
